I miss your face, Gina K/ MFT
I had fun making this quick card. I painted wide bands of color with Distress Oxide Colors. I stamped and watercolored the two kitties (one is Mister Harley, and the other is Gus Gus). I stamped the “I miss your face” sentiment. Finishing off the card I added some Lawn Fawn chunky glitter to the ground of the kitties, and a few sequins with the Lawn Fawn Glue Tube.
Congratulations to all the new members to the Wednesday Challenge team-

So many beautiful cards and It’s so hard to choose just one. I love the Watercolored Rose Cards with Distress Inks. This card is so dreamy and the colors are so fabulous. Thanks for the inspiration.

My favorite is the “Cheering you on” heart cards!!
AAhh Jenn! That’s too hard haha!! But have a soft spot for those yetis!! They are just too cute!! Oldie but a goodie xxx
So I have to choose the latest ast my favorite. I LOVE that sentiment because I miss so many faces out there. Thanks so much for the chance to win. 🙂
Your cards are always so wonderful…too many to pick one favourite. I guess the cute penguin hello.
Oh it’s so difficult to choose just one, you’re so talented! Maybe #4 is my fave as I love Christmas cards.
Thank you for the chance xx
So many amazing cards. I really like the 16th one, I love the pink colour and the design. And it was hard to choose one cause they are all so gorgeous 🙂
I love the cute little puppy with the cool pink watercolor background. Congrats on being a SSS designer for 4 years that’s an awesome accomplishment
I loooove the “altered” pumpking ….. it’s too cute!!!!
Girl, anything you do with warercolors always gets my attention. Party Like You Mean It was one of my faves! http://shurkus.com/cards/party-like-mean-simon-says-stamp
#1 because not only is it completely lovely and a mermaid card but that sentiment is awesome!!!
I love the cats but all of the are so wonderful.
Ok Jenn, so so many amazing cards to choose from, you are definitely one creative chick! Although I really love the nostalgia of your “uber cool” initial post, I have to say one of my most faves was the “dont bug out” Tim Holtz card you made. From the amazing linen texture background to the layered bugs and torn watercolor cardstock, it has always stood out in my mind as a showstopper. You are very talented, and inspiring. xx
I honestly think last week is my favorite card- the Hello Miss Thang. It’s got such a pretty background!!! Love your stuff 🙂
Really loved your card using the doodlebug card stock with the lawn fawn bright yellow “hello.” So cheerful with the little clouds! I’m very new to paper crafting, thank you for being inspirational.
Lovely cards, I loved the watercolor of all small squares and that says Party.
All great cards Jenn. Love the lucky to know you blue and green one 🤗
Great cards! I love the ‘party like you mean it’ card as the colours and design are so much fun. Thanks for the awesome giveaway x x
Thank you for this fantastic giveaway!
I love the card with the mouse in the little walnut shell being pulled by the other mouse with antlers. So cufe!!
My favorite is the watercolor rose card. Thanks for the chance to win!
The blue floral Thanks is my favorite. Love the colors!!
I love the Lawn Faen plaid explosion card. Such a fun one with the stitching and sewing theme. ❤️
« Party like you mean it » is my favorite.
Congrats on such a fab DT term Jenn! My fave is the “Cheering you on” card. Just subscribed to your blog and can’t wait to see your next crafty adventure! ❤️
I love the rainbow squares Party card! Love your colorful style!
So awesome of you to share some goodies!!! My favs are all your nautical theme cards!!! I just love how you create each one so unique and fun!!!
I love to stamp and get so inspired by your posts and pictures. You help get my creative juices going and motivate me! 😊
I love them all! But I love the one “I miss your face” a lot, love all those color! I played along this week too, had submitted 2 cards and it’s my first time. 🙂

They are all so pretty! Maybe the cheering you on one. Love how it’s colored!
I think my favorite might have to be the “You Light Up My Christmas” card! I thought that one was just too adorable!
It was hard to pick a favorite … but I really like “I’m Here Rain or Shine”. Love the blue background!
Hi Jenn, I always enjoy seeing your cards and they give me inspiration for my own. My favorite so far is the Penny Black-Salt Life!!!! Super fun and so cute!!!! Thanks for a chance to win. You’re so generous!!
My favorite is I’m here for you rain or shine. I love that beautiful blue background!
You have made such amazing cards each week that it’s hard to narrow it down to 1 so I have to say that the masculine card “For a Guy with Tim Holts” card is super cool! Love the colors! But I also love the seahorse tag you show here is really cool with nice dimension!
I especially Love your Party Like You Mean It card!! All those colors are so pretty!!
I would have to say floral frenzy because I am so intimidated using inks but your no line watercoloring inspired me to give it a try on my list of 50 million other things to try. Lol. I want to do it all!
Big fan of ALL your cards. I love that party one with SSS Stamp Set and watercolor squares. I am still attempting to make a card similar to that. If ever in a Chicago, would love to take a class.
Love your card Jenn, your kitties are sooo cute !
I am so sorry you are leaving us but looking forward to seeing your exciting future in the craft world ! It has been a pleasure working with you.

UGH I always dislike when people say choose your favorite because it is so hard when you have scraplifted 30+ cards from a person’s blog because they inspire you so much, or have you quickly grabbing the credit card to make that purchase. But since you asked I looked in my desktop folder titled Shurkus and gave it a peek. So after narrowing down my favorites to 5 I finally settled on one that my mom loved when I showed it to her. Watercolored Rose card using Altenew stamps. I will be sad to see you go from the DT but will still look forward to all your projects thru social media.
I haven’t been following the SSS challenges for very long, so it was great to look back at your work over the last four years. I’d have to pick one of your most recent cards, Hello Miss Thang. I fell in love with the colors the moment I saw it. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
This card is so cute! Really hard to pick a favourite from your cards. The Oh Ship one (from last August) is really fun, so I’ll pick that one 😀 Thanks for the chance.
I have a bunch of your cards that I like. I really like the one you showcased-love the cats! The others are “The Pina to my Coloda’-to super cute, “Love you now and forever”-super sweet, and the “All is calm, All is bright”-love the colors and the snowflakes! All of them are so pretty!
I’ve loved seeing your cards in the challenge over the years. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I think I’m going to go with the Salt Life/Penny Black card. Knowing your love of the beach, that card just kind of personifies all things Jenn to me. 🙂
I like the THANKS, MEMORY BOX one
The colours are vivid and complement each other wonderfully!
Wow! This card is very cute!!! Love colors and those sweet kitties!
My other favourite Wednesday Challenge Cards are Hello Miss Thang and Thanks, Memory Box. Colouring is amazing!!!
Great cards. I especially enjoy the two penguins on the hello card
I love your ‘party like you mean it’ card! It’s so bright and cheerful with all those colours!
Best of luck with your future endeavours!
Happy Birthday Stampendous, beautiful colors.
Tough to choose 1…I like your more recent watercolor grid in your “Party like you mean it”…but I do have a soft spot for the ocean, and like the Penny Black “Salt Life”.
It was great seeing all your inspirations!! They are amazing! It is tough to choose one, but I go with the party card, with colorful tile effects! That one just caught my eye the moment I saw it on the SSS blog!! Love it a lot! Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
Wow, Jenn, that’s a lot of cards! I love the recent party one. Rainbow and glitter? Always a winning combo!
Hi Jenn! Loving the hello card at the bottom – looks like a watercolor or alcohol ink background! Congrats on 4 years designing for SSS. You’ve been an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing your talent and yourself!
Love this super pawesome card!
those cats are so cute!
I enjoy all your Wednesday Challenge cards!

Gorgeous card Jenn 🙂 I was here earlier and got so engrossed in admiring all of your cards that I forgot to leave a comment!! haha
I love that you have Mr Harley and Gus Gus on your farewell card, how cuts is that!! I love the colourful striped background too, a very lovely splash of colour 🙂

So many great ones, but I love the sea one you did. It eas a Memory Box one with a watercolor background and an orange crab. Thsnks Memory Box was the title I think.🏊
I love them all but the card of Mr. Harley and Gus is my favorite of course.
You have so many beautiful ones! It’s hard to choose just one. I love the one from 3/29/17 that’s flowers with the word smiles. So many of your cards are happy.
Hi Jenn! I love all of your cards. You’re a huge inspiration to me. I was thrilled to have made the Simon Says Stamp Team — but so bummed you’re stepping down. 🙁
These little kitties are adorable and I LOVE that background!
♥
HI Jenn! Such an adorable card. I love the background that you created for the adorable kittens! and the idea of using chunky glitter for the kittens to sit on is so cute. Its like their own glittery rug! 🙂 Thank you so much for your warm welcome to the team. I have been an avid follower of you for a while now and I truly admire all of your creations! Each is equally unique and fabulous. 🙂
Loved seeing all your cards from your time on the team, Jenn! Wishing you all the best, and I know you won’t be a stranger!
Love the rainbow background. So very pretty! Thank you so much for your warm welcome, Jenn♡ All of your cards are wonderful that I really enjoyed seeing those. Looking forward to your beautiful projects forever♡♡♡

Gosh it’s hard to pick a favorite… but if I have to it would be #12, the ocean scene. I think you used alcohol inks. It’s just gorgeous.
