JUST US GIRLS #321 Photo Week

Welcome friends! I hope those of you who celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday had a wonderful time with family and friends!

And now that we've passed that holiday up, it's really time for all-Christmas-all-the-time-mode! LOL! With that in mind, it's Photo Week at JUST US GIRLS. Vicki is your hostess this week and she found this amazing picture to inspire you! Here's what I came up with:

 Here is the inside:

This is only the second time I've tried the Bokeh technique, and I think I did much better this time around (although truth be told, this was my second attempt for this card. The first panel was a crash and burn) Lots of glitter and shine going on here. Foil paper is sooooo hard to photograph so here's another shot so you can see all the glittery/shiny goodness. The two smaller ornaments were cut from a scrap of gray card stock, then I swiped them all over with a silver ink pad. One of them I traced a smaller circle on the back side then fussy cut. (That's why it looks wonky. I cannot fussy cut a curved edge to save my life! LOL!) The silver ornaments are popped up with thin foam squares and the largest one with regular foam squares, for a bit of dimension. The sentiment was embossed in silver.

See? Lots of shiny! 

We hope to see what you create using this awesome photo as inspiration! Be sure to link up at Just Us Girls so we can stop by your blog! While there, do check out what the other gals, and our Guest Designer, Louise, have made and please visit their blogs! 

FOR OCTOBER & NOVEMBER ONLY: If you win Chic of the Week in any of our October or November challenges, you are in the running to be chosen as one of two Guest Designers for the month of January 2016! The Team will be taking a two week break at the end of December, and therefore, will not have a Guest Designer for December.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see your project in the gallery! Have a great day!
