Sunshine, Lollypops and Rainbows

 Well here is the Just Us Girls Challenge for this week

This weeks JUGS challenge is RAINBOWS!  I usually just stick to two or three colours - including the neutral, so I thought this would be a little difficult...  That was until I started thinking about this cake I had made for Natalie's 7th birthday, it was a SEVEN layer rainbow cake - ALL SEVEN COLOURS!  I looked up the Jugs site and couldn't find anything that said I needed to submit a card (as opposed to a cake!) so I thought I would be cheeky... 

Ta Daah! Seven Layer Rainbow cake...

  Just a "simple(?)" vanilla sponge with LOTS of colour! And Heaps of Betty Crocker's ready made Vanilla frosting!

 Oh, and I also made a card for the challenge    ;)

 

I had lots of different ideas for the feature (apart from the rainbow) images, sentiments and the like but none were Stampin 'up! (Oh no - I hear you say...). I think I may just make that card another day...

Until next time, keep stampin'  Marls xx

Just Inspirational

This weeks Just Us Girls Challenge was a Photo Inspiration Challenge. This is a gorgeous photo but left me wondering, "Who sleeps in their kitchen?" !  This is such a subtle and pretty room and obviously multi-purpose!  This room kinda reminds me of my "up line" Louise Sharp - Pink and dotty (in a GOOD way)!   I am always in awe of her creations and she is also part of the inspiration for my card below.

I like the white of the room and used the subtle colours seen above as an "unfeatured" feature. I am particularly impressed with the white-on-white wood grain embossing, it reminds me of the storage space and the chairs in the room - I may use that again in the future!

Hope you like it, I'm quite impressed with it.  Now after all this Girly stuff I need to make Father's Day Cards!!  Wish me luck.  Keep Stampin' Marls xx
