I {heart} U

Happy one year anniversary to the girls over at Just Us Girls (JUGS) Challenges! I can't believe it's been one year already - I can remember when you were just starting out! I am so happy for all of you!

In honor of their one year mark, JUGS is hosting an awesome sketch challenge this week! I decided to jump in the fun and I created this funky (for lack of a better work) card for their JUGS 53 - Sketch challenge. I have to admit, I had such a blast making this one :)

I started out with a base of SU! Cajun Craze card stock and stitched on some designer paper from the Basic Grey - Max and Whiskers paper pad. I then stamped the bird image from Gina K. Designs Warm & Fuzzy stamp set by Asela Hopkins three times onto white card stock, cut them out using Nestabilities, and sponged around each in a different SU! color - Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive. Using scraps from the same Basic Grey pad, I paper pieced the birds, and then popped the three of them onto the card. I then attached the lace and ribbon, but it still needed something. I had these little beads with letters on them for quite some time and I never find a good use for them, so I decided to add them into the mix.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! Don't forget, it's Breast Cancer Awareness month! If you would like to learn more, please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

  13. Olga and I decided that these birds have been sitting so long in the same spot, that you will need a bulldozer to clean up all the bird dirt!
