Hello 2010! Day two and I am pleased to say I have not broken my New Years Resolution… Yet! π I am behind on getting our Christmas thank you cards off because I am going to make each one…. So, by July, everyone should receive a card! πΒ This one is for my nieces/nephew.Β Thought they might get a kick out of the squirrel.
Today, I participated in the JUGS sketch challenge. I was pretty pleased with my card, that is until I went and saw all the samples the JUGS design team made! Dare I even check Mr. Linky at this point?!? I really felt proud of myself because I added the strip of glitter to jazz up the card! See? That is pretty sad that I get excited about such a silly, pretty basic thingΒ many of you would think of doing or already did in your first month of crafting… I have GOT to think outside of the box! Grrr….Β LOL!Β Β Β Here’s to 2010! Hope it is a great year for everyone!
What a cute little squirrel Laurel! Don’t be discouraged or hard on yourself – papercrafting is a journey and we learn new things as we read blogs and magazines and participate in challenges. I learn new stuff everyday – you are doing some amazingly adorable projects so give yourself a PAT on the BACK! Thanks for playing along with Just Us Girls as we kick off a whole new year. Hope to see you again next week.
Laurel, what a cute little squirrel image! Reminds of me of all the little varmins running about looking for a nut in the winter time when you can see their teeny tiny foot prints on top of the snow! Those were my days of living in Buffalo, NY now in Phoenix, AZ I don’t see those little prints! Thank you so much for playing along with Just Us Girls sketch challenge – Hope to see you next Saturday for a fun technique challenge!
Never mind comparing yourself to the DT! Your card is fabulous, and I love the glittery strip! I love sparkle…you will always find it on my cards! Great job with my sketch! Thanks so much for playing our JUGs challenge!
Laurel…you did awesome…you rocked the sketch! Don’t feel like you need to compare your work to the DT. You did fabulous!
Thanks for playing with the JUGs sketch challenge! Hope to see you next week!

OMG! Your neices and nephew with love this card! That squirrel will bring a smile for sure. And I’m with you, I DIG that glittery strip on the side! I always feel good with an extra dash of glitter somewhere. Your compliments to the DT are super sweet but remember we are there to just provide a jumping off point….I LOVE seeing what everyone else comes up with and so far on this challenge, I think I am the only one who struggled with this sketch! LOL oh well, that’s why they call them challenges. π So glad to see you on the linky again this week and thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls!
Cute card. Love the squirrel and the bling! THanks for playing along this week!
Laurel – this is too sweet. Love that squirrel, and I bet your niece and nephew will too! Thanks for playing along with Just Us Girls!!
