You're Sew Nice...{JUGS229} & {RS102}


Hello everyone! Sorry I wasn't around to post for Tuesday's Colour Q - the kids and I decided to head off to my parents' place for the long weekend and I wasn't able to get a card done before I left.  I will admit it was kind of nice to have a week *off*, but now back to the grind.  :)

Today is my final day as the guest designer over at the Just Us Girls challenge...so sad!  I have thoroughly enjoyed playing along with the girls this month - they have been so sweet and supportive.  Thank you so much ladies!!!  This week's challenge is an inspiration challenge so take a peek at the photo inspiration:


For my card I used the colors as well as the sewing spools for inspiration.  I got to play with a new cutting plate I got awhile ago from Taylored Expressions - holy chevrons, Batman!!!  It's awesome!  I used last week's Retrosketches and came up with this *sorta* CAS card:



Thank you so much for visiting today - I love all the love.  :)  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and the upcoming last week of February!!  OY VEY!  How did that happen?  I'll see you back here on Tuesday with a brand-new Colour Q.  Later!

Great card, Melissa! Love the chevrons in the inspiration colors and the little 'spool' of twine! Great inspiration piece. So good to have you with us this month!
