Just us Girls #811

It took a New York minute for me to choose my supplies for Lisa's gorgeous mood board at Just us Girls #811!  


Get ready to swoon...


For once, I shushed that sweet tooth and focused on those Cherry Blossoms!

HoneyBee' Lovely Layers: Cherry Blossoms made it so easy...


Here are my inks used to add color to my white die cuts:


Lisa, I'd love to see your Cherry blossoms one day!


It feels really wonderful to be back in my studio for a bit this week - and
to hear from you, friends!  Thanks so much!

Oooohhh, this is pretty! Love the blooms and your woodgrain behind the window. This is a great take on my Mood Board, Michele! Thanks so much for playing along at Just Us Girls. I'll let you know when the buds pop up so you and Tom can pack!!

Michele... school is keeping me so busy. I just ran through a bunch of your posts to catch up. The cupcake was inspired...truly! Love the idea of a kitchen and laundry redo. But so glad you are still finding time to submit a fabulous card to Just Us Girls!

So beautiful, Michele!

I was wishing I had cherry blossoms for the challenge. Yours are beautiful and the perfect take on Lisa's photo, Michele. I love them drifting across the window. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

Your cherry blossoms are making me smile this morning Michele...especially since we woke up to snow! How can it be sunny and 55 degrees one day and two days later cloudy, windy, COLD and snowy?!! I know, I know...it's Michigan! But anyway, your blossoms are so pretty and I love how they POP against your window and wood grained background...lovely, lovely card my friend! And I too am glad you're back in the studio!! Hugs. :0)

Your cherry blossoms against the window frame are just as yummy as that fabulous cup of cocoa!

HilaryJane said...

Love it. I would never have been brave enough to use that dark background, but it works beautifully xx

Jeanne H said...

Indeed, your card is wonderful...the blossoms and wood texture are just perfectly designed. TFS

A gorgeous take on the mood board— the cherry blossoms were a great choice and so striking against the dark background!

ooh la la, I didn't see that dark background coming from the inspiration pic, but yes, it's perfect for those soft blossoms, another winner!

JoAnn said...
