Don't you just love this challenge banner!! I sure do :) Lisa (our graphic guru) did a great job making sure there was no way you could miss the theme of this week's challenge brought to us by Lynn. PTI's rainbow die came to mind when I saw this but I don't own it or any alpha dies (may have to do something about that!) so I had to go in a different direction.
I pulled out Petals and Stems, one of the first Verve sets I purchased and created a rainbow of flowers. Added a little grass to ground them, some butterflies for balance and a sentiment to finish things off.
The rest of the Design Team have some great samples to get your inspiration going. Just pop over to the JUGS blog for a peek at their wonderful creations.
We'd love to have you play along with us this week. Simply create a card using a rainbow theme and link it to the JUGS blog and you may be selected as Chick of the Week :)
Today we are celebrating my daughter's 14th birthday :) Oh where does the time go??!! She was such a tiny baby the day she was born (5 lbs 13 oz) and is growing up into such a beautiful young lady both inside and out! Her artistic talent is amazing (skipped a generation LOL), she dresses with flair and modesty, has a huge heart and a great sense of humour, is an avid reader and a good writer, and I love her to bits!! I am truly blessed to be her mom :)
Thanks for popping by and have a fabulous week!
