Just Us Girls #113 sketch....jolly ol St Nicholas


Hey JUGs fans!  Time for some sketch fun hostessed by our darling Elise!
This sketch is an easy winner...perfectly balanced plus a signature Elise move with the little tab on the right.  I can't wait to see what everyone does with this versatile sketch.  For me....I had to throw down a little Santa goodness...


This fab Santa image if a Dover clip art that I printed with good intentions LAST Christmas!  doh!  But hey, he's still as inspiring as ever and I was able to pair him up with Papertrey ink DP's, CTMH ribbon, plus some trinkets from my stash...wired evergreen, golden Christmas sprig and my own handmade "bauble" using vintage pearls and jewelry maker's head pins (color me *inspired* by sir Tim Holtz and his 12 Tags of Christmas!)

I was able to able to customize the head pins to link these pearls together....ohhhhh myyyyy, I see a new habit taking shape!  I need more jewelry findings like PRONTO!
Be sure and check out the awesome Just Us Girls designers and leave these hard working creatives a little love OK?  I know they will appreciate it. 
and our ultra fabulous super talented guest DT, Lenet!

Thanks SO much for spending some time with me today!  I appreciate it so very much.

Just Us Girls #98..color time!


It's color week, darlings!   Just Us Girls are challenging you to an eye popping color scheme from our dear darling , Elise!  Join us won't you?

I went totally scrap-ular on this one a it was the perfect color set to get some photos that have been milling about my desk for far too long, down on paper with the memories sprinkled in between them using Word and photos from our day fishing at the family ranch...

I am powerless to the enchantment of my two girls trailing after their daddy in the outdoors.  I could snap pictures of their special relationship all day long! This particular day was a rare sunny JANUARY day just right for fishing...wait, huh!??  OK, even in California we don't expect 80 degree days or good fishing in January but lucky for us, we hit a golden day.


This is one of my favorite techniques when I have a story to tell and lots of pictures to share.  Microsoft Word does the trick interspersing your photos throughout a bunch of journaling.  If you haven't tried this before, play around with the "wrap" function when inserting photos into text.  The results are very cool I think.


I used some pretty new swirls from Want2Scrap and took advantage of the space in between the bling to offload some long hoarded microbeads.  I will be chasing these around the craft room for weeks now!


More bling and buttons and bits of goodies to finish off my page. FINALLY! These pictures can be put to bed and I feel great about that!


Check out the Just Us Girls design team for more color inspiration!

So glad you could stop by.  Have a great one!

Make it monday ink blending...It's a MAN! {card}


Hey friends!  This card is a quickie using the ink blending technique showcased over at Papertrey Ink this week.  I used a great digital image from Cathe Holden at JustSomethingIMade.  Once I opened the deer and tree silhouette image in Word, I was able to crop it to size and add the sentiment "Happy Birthday to our Son"  easily by layering a text box with the font color set to white.

Before using my inking tool and dye inks to colorize the background, I sprayed a quick layer of clear spray paint to set the inkjet printer ink and stop it from smearing when I was swirling on the ink. Simple!  And such an easy way to bring depth to a nature scene.  Thanks for stopping by...no go ink something :)
