Sparkle



There 's a new challenge up on the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog. This is the fifth Thursday in August which means that our challenge is to CASE a Design Team Member's card. Basically, that means that you use one of the Design Team member's cards as your inspiration, and make it your own. It's so fun to see who our players decide to CASE and how they do it.

My card is specially made for the granddaughter of dear friends who used to live nearby. They moved from NJ to NH around the time my twins were born. I visited them and their beautiful family this past  spring after not seeing them for over 20 years. I met this wonderful little girl for the first time, though I had seen her grow in pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. She is so incredibly delightful, fun, brilliant, and talented with whatever she chooses to embrace. She also loves all things unicorn. I had promised her that I would write. Fast forward a million miles an hour to now, and I finally made this card for her. The unicorn die was a gift from a dear teammate, which makes this card extra special. I found this fab pink, sparkly background in my box of backgrounds. It was perfect. I had so much fun with this card. To CASE it, you could use a unicorn, a rainbow, a pink background, a mythical creature, sparkle... you get the picture. Be sure to explain who/what you were inspired by and how you used it for your card.

Please head over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog and see the awesome cards the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Choose one to CASE, make it your own, and join us in the gallery. I can't wait to see what you create!

The neon mane and tail are perfect for a magical unicorn, Stephanie. I'm sure that girl will be thrilled with her card.

That unicorn is absolutely adorable taking center stage and paired with the perfect sentiment and background, too!
