Just Us Girls (JUGS) Challenge #800 is a special one as it marks their 800th
challenge! What a milestone! I consider myself a "newbie" to their challenges,
and I started playing along thanks to blogging pal Michele.
I wanted to join the celebration and squeezed in a card, just under the wire.
I fell in love with that Memory Box bird doing its happy dance, another enabled
purchase from Michele. Doesn't he just evoke joy? After inking him I spattered
a bit of water for texture. I ran an arched piece partially through a snow
embossed folder then stamped the sentiment.
A red card base was embossed and inked around the edges and topped with
the arch piece and bird.
Here's a better pic of the sentiment which is an old (c.2012) set from
Simon Says Stamp that I wish they would remake. It has some of my
favorite holiday sentiments on it.
Ok, now I'd better run and link this up. Thanks, always, for stopping by!

Edited to add: I'm honored to receive a SHOUT OUT from JUGS!
Now I'm really doing a happy dance! Thanks so much, ladies!
