Hello friends. It is my fourth and last week as guest designer for Just Us Girls and I have really enjoyed it. Thank you to all the designers for having me join you in these fun challenges. This week is Photo Week and we have a fun photo to inspire you.

Here is a closer look at the photo.
and here is my card.
I was inspired by the blue birds, yellow flowers and cute little butterfly. I used SU Friendly Hello which was a free Sale-A-Bration set and I am so glad I got it. The bird on the branch is from that set. I stamped it, colored it with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it, as there is no die to match it. I mounted this with foam tape on a white die cut circle matted with a black die cut circle. The little butterflies are from another set and I fussy cut them also and just glued the bodies down. Hello Friend is a Memory Box die, cut from white and black.. The blue check panel is mounted on a black mat also, to tie everything together, and then to the card base.
I will also link to Tic Tac Toe Challenge ( I used the middle row across - butterfly, free, flowers)
