Just Us Girls #130

Woohoo!  It's wild card week!  My pal, Elise, is challenging us to give our designs some ZIP this week...yep, you guessed it, use a zipper to embellish your creation!  Check out the details for Just Us Girls challenge #130 and please do use the graphic below in your post.

(*aww shucks* some of that artwork above is mine!thanks E!) and you can find link ups from previous posts  HERE and HERE .  For Elise's challenge, I went all girly with a pink and brown palette and a super frilly pink zipper flower embellishment.

The gorgeous frame, die and mannequin stamps are Wplus9 and the pretty sentiment and swirl are from Waltzingmouse.  I love the way these vintage inspired designs married so easily on this card.  The floral frame stamp was echoed in the swirls on the My Mind's Eye designer paper!  Love that!  The mannequin was stamped on the same designer paper, fussy cut and popped on foam tape for dimension.  A corsage pin makes a pretty pearl "head" and Want2Scrap baby bling give this girl a sparkly necklace to wear! Another seamstress pin holds the sentiment tag by being inserted into one of the pieces of foam behind the mannequin piece.

But wait!  We are talking zippers here!  How about a close up?  I inserted a cluster of floral pick stamens into the center of my zipper flower and added pearl trims and glittered floral silk leaves to the flower.  The whole piece rests on a short length of rose ribbon trim from Want2Scrap (love that stuff!)

One more way to use zippers is to layer them up as you would a punched edge or ribbon trim....I really like the contrast of silver teeth on zipper twill.  Apply them with a strong fabric glue like Fabri-Tac.

Be sure and check out the amazing inspiration from the JUGs girls

Just Us Girls #121 valentine's themed template/3D...LoveBirdHouse...and announcement and the WINNER!

Hello love birds!  February is looming which brings the pink and red out in me....this week the Just Us Girls gang is challenging you to make a 3D/template project with a valentine's theme. 

Recently on a room clean up with my daughter's we came upon a wood birdhouse that she was done with.  I asked {ok, begged a little} could I PLEASE have it for valentine's day?  I have this idea of making holiday houses and when these cute alterable plain wood "birdhouses" come along in so many cute designs and for right around a dollar each at Michaels, only time and inspiration can hold me back!  In this case, I just recycled an old project of my daughter's!

I pumped up the roof with some gorgeous red and pink BUTTONS to serve as shingles and cute trims and papers to finish off the sides and back of the house!

Speaking of BUTTONS...I have an exciting announcement to share...I was invited to join the amazing crafters of the Buttons Galore and More Button Bevy design team!!!!  I am thrilled to be a part of the Bevy and I can't wait to share my button projects with you in the coming months!

 A girl could go wild using red, pink, white and hearts ya know? And you know I couldn't resist red glitter glue to outline the heart-shaped door right?!

This LoveBirdHouse is right at home among the pink and red on our sideboard cabinet.

Now it's your turn!  Check out the inspiration from Just Us Girls:

Just Us Girls #111 color challenge...building winter tags with buttons!

Hey friends!  There is a new color challenge going on over at Just Us Girls this week.  Vicki is getting us in the Christmas spirit with a red, white and green challenge!  I love Christmas crafting so this is right up my alley....thanks Vicki!

I decided to do a series of tags for this challenge and also incorporate BUTTONS to enter into the Buttons Galore and More challenge like I did over on my Christmas Cash envelope post.  The tag above has a favorite Waltzingmouse stamp on it plus a new love, candy cane striped pipe cleaner (!), a button festooned holly and an ol' standby...vintage sheet music (oops!  upside down)  Glitter and holiday striped yarn finish this tag off.

For the Rudolph fans, a cute googly-eyed, red button nosed deer!

The fab antler stamps are Inkadinkadoo!  One stamp for each side....just love the possibilities with these!

And finally a Frosty built of buttons!  What snowman about town would be complete without a dapper top hat and fleece scarf?? 

Notice how my middle button is a little mis-made on the bottom....but building a snowman with this button made the missing piece seem purposeful!  Frosty pops off a white embossed Waltzingmouse stamped label on red background layered onto a swiss dot embossed oval.  And more silver glitter and holiday yarn of course!

Are you ready to get your red, white and green on?  Be sure and swing my the design teams blogs and leave these hard working creative gals some love!
