Hi Cyber Friends! Time again for a sketch challenge with Just Us Girls. This week Maria has challenged us to create a card OR in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day, a scrapbook layout, using this awesome sketch! ***Spellbinders™ is having a contest in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day - be sure to visit their blog HERE for COMPLETE info*** Beth created a wonderful LO for inspiration :) If you would like to see this card, please be sure to pick up the October 2010 issue of CARDS Magazine :) YAHOOO!!!
***Just Us Girls is currently have a DT calling! - if any of you are interested - please see the Just Us Girls site for COMPLETE details!***
Here is my interpretation of Maria's fabulous sketch:
I recently found these gorgeous ornate Pink Paislee Artisan Elements at my favorite LSS. They are really fun to work with because you can ink them up, spray them with Glimmer Mist or leave them as is! I chose to sponge on a lil' distressing ink around the edges. The beautiful sentiment is one of many featured in the Waltzingmouse Sweethearts set.
I have given my hands a try at making fan fold/accordian flowers lately & have been very pleased with the outcome :) What do you think? Do you make these?
For complete 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 LeAnne! Once you have your project photographed, be sure to go to Just Us Girls and post a direct link to your project on our site.

Deadline to be considered for the weekly "Chic of the Week" will be 9:00 PM EST on Thursday, May 8th. Our Inlinkz tool will also close at that time. Our top pick "Chic of the Week" will be announced on Friday morning following the deadline.
