Just Us Girls 131 and CR84FN 51

I haven't created much lately.  You know, going through a slump.  Also I've been busy at work, working a couple extra shifts.  It tires this girl out. In the meantime, I've been having a blast looking at some of the challenges.

I found a new challenge this week, CR84FN.

My color inspiration

Their color challenge is peach, light pink and light blue.  I am so not a peach person.  But I did so happen to have some card stock in the color that I had left over from when I was with Close to My Heart about 15 years ago. 

Just Us Girls (JUGS) #131 is a very fun challenge blog.  I like it because every week there is a new type of challenge.  And they have been very kind in leaving comments.  This week it's a sketch challenge.

Sketch Inspiration

I would like to say that I haven't purchased anything, but that's not true.  I went to a resale shop and they had half a spool of purple ribbon for 49 cents.  I'm sorry....I couldn't pass that up.  I did get some new items this week as well, but I didn't purchase them.  I won them from A La Card Monkey challenge.  I used the pearls from the prize on this card.  I've never used pearls before.  And I must say, I like them very much.  I used a circle punch and Spellbinders die and the edging on the blue is from a new punch from my prize package.  I have to say, I've never purchased a edge punch before.  Personally, I like the dies better, but it works for now.  The gift, flower and for you stamps are by Stamps of Life.
