Hi Everyone! This week, Just Us Girls is not only offering a Color challenge hosted by Maria however, there we are including a special twist :) We are celebrating JUGS DT member, Lisa's birthday :) so, if you play along, please feel free to use these pretty pastels to make a Birthday Card! Please hop on over to Lisa's blog & wish her a Happy Birthday :)
Here is Lisa's Happy Birthday card:
Lisa lives in my hometown - Buffalo, NY! Small world :) Spring is probably in full blossom in that neck of the woods which made me think of sending Lisa a basket of flowers from my stamp garden :)
I used the SU Watercolor Garden Mini's set and stamped away! My dear friend Heather pointed me in the right direction for this gorgeous ribbon :) She always makes the most beautiful cards!
Hope you enjoy your SPECIAL day Lisa :)
For all the juicy details, please visit the Just Us Girls challenge site & be sure to visit ALL the DT girls (found on my side bar) as well as Sue! Please don't forget to wish Lisa a Happy Birthday! :) Once you have your card photographed, be sure to go to Just Us Girls and post a direct link to your project on our site. If you upload to on online gallery, please be sure to label your project as JUGS29.
