Since last week was an insanely busy week for me, I was unable to get a card done for the Verve Spotlight Hop showcasing this fabulous teacher set called Teachers Count, which was inspired by Diva Maureen (who is a teacher). Thankfully today I had a bit of time and was able to make a card using it and what fun I had!! Can't wait to ink it up again!
I stamped the number image form the set in white ink to create the background on the kraft panel. The Apple Die Set has two matching apple dies and apple stamps for those of you, who like me, are not into colouring. I was once again giddy with glee using this fabulous polka dotted ribbon from the new Polka Dot Basics ribbon pack - excuse me while I swoon LOL. A bit of bling and a turned corner finished things off.
The rest of the JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going, so just hop on over to the Just Us Girls blog, and check out what the Design Team has created. Then put your creative genes to work and add your card/project to the challenge post on the JUGS blog for the chance to be selected as Chic of the Week.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone! We have another busy one to work our way through but at least I'll get a teensy bit of a sleep in on Saturday -- gotta take what I can get right now :)
