Just Us Girls #775 -- MOODBOARD Week




Join us! It is 
MOODBOARD week at Just Us Girls.  Carol M is challenging us to be inspired by the moodboard above in creating our cards this week.

When I saw this moodboard, I immediately thought of this pencil die set from the Stamp Market! It has been a NBUS product for a couple of years.  Although you can use scrap cardstock to create this box of colored pencils (which I love), the pieces are tiny.  I almost always make multiples of every card for donation but my fingers revolted on this one.   I stamped a sentiment on the finished box and mounted it on a rainbow washi cardbase.

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.
