Hello! Hello! Hello! from the newest Design Team Member at Just Us Girls Challenge - ME! I am so excited to join this group of incredibly talented crafters in designing projects to inspire our wonderful players.
Please note that there are a few changes with the challenge logistics including the start and end day. You can read all about it HERE.
We begin our 2024 challenges with Color Week where the colors are teal, navy and green. We are joined by the lovely and talented Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts as our January Guest Designer. You are probably already acquainted with Stef's work, but if you are not, you are in for a real treat! Well, you are in for a real treat, no matter what!
When I saw the colors for this challenge, I immediately thought of Stampin' Up's Urban Garden Designer Series Paper Pack I have had in my stash for years. I cut strips from these papers and from Taken With Teal solid cardstock in various widths and used Stick It to adhere the strips to a piece of white cardstock. I adhered the strip panel to a white card base. added the Waffle Flower sentiment die cut and my card was complete.
Please head on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations Stef and the Design Team has come up with to inspire you. Please join us in using this wonderful color combination for your project and join us in the gallery. I can't wait to see what you create!
