Just Us Girls #774 -- WORD Week




Join us! It is 
WORD week at Just Us Girls.  Vicki is challenging us to use the word FRUIT in creating cards this week.   What fun!  I am using an older, layering, lemon die set.  The assembled lemons (plus a few flowers and leaves) are mounted on a black gingham card base with a layered sentiment.  Easy peasy.

This card was so easy to make that I made 5 duplicates for donation to Operation Gratitude, an organization supporting our Military and first responders letting them know that what they do matters. One of the handmade items they request is handmade cards for their care packages so recipients can write their loved ones.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for May, Rosemary Dennis. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Hey There Rosigirl! 

Also check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

I love that black gingham background for those beautiful lemons Elizabeth! The pops of red and green are the perfect details too! Great card!

I've always loved this LF lemon set and you've created such a cute card with it!

What could be cuter than bright yellow lemons and teensy black gingham?? Makes me pucker up, Elizabeth!

Your lemon card is fabulous inspiration for our fruit challenge. The black + white gingham and little blooms are pretty special touches.

As I pull out things to take north with me next week, I had to add the LF lemons after seeing your card, Elizabeth. That yellow pops against the black and white check.
