Just Us Girls #133 color...How cool is that?!

Just Us Girls is challenging you with a super summer color pallette this week!  Check it....

In my hometown it's to be in the mid 80's today!  Practically feels like summer to me once we pass the 80 degree mark so we are heading to the beach to play but before I run, I wanted to share this fun card for the color challenge this weekend. Love this fun image and and all those included in the Sweet Celebrations set from WD Stamps. Some sizzlin hot buttons from Buttons Galore and More make a fun marquee like trim at the top.

I couldn't resist swiping on some crystal effects to give this popsicle a little *shine*. 

Speaking of shine, get your sunglasses on for the creative brilliance of the Just Us Girls DT.

Just Us Girls #34 Template.....pomp and circumstance

Hello friends!  Welcome to another week of Template/3-D challenges with Just Us Girls!  We are again being sponsored by the generous Lauren Meader of My TIme Made Easy, LLC.  If you play along with us, you just might be the lucky winner of one of Lauren's templates!  Cool huh?

I opted to use the Pucker Up template from Lauren to create a gift container in honor of my cousin's High School Graduation.  The school colors are purple and white plus grey (GO Petaluma High Trojans! yes, my old alma mater....if you look hard, you can see the "97" on my college tassle above so that makes me a 1993(OMG!) grad of PHS) and Erika's favorite color happens to be purple so color palette choice was easy.  Add in this lovely digi kit freebie from Jen Allyson and swoon!  Isn't that butterfly gorgeous?? The dotted DP is also Miss Jen at work. Thank you Jen!  So what's in the box, you ask?

For now, it's filled with Hershey Nuggets custom-wrapped with printed and stamped mailing labels.  Super cinchy way to make custom treats and favors!  We will also be tucking in some ca$h-ola for our super sweet graduate. 

***Side note....I'm having a moment here...this little girl, number 10 of 10 cousins, the youngest of the pack to my oldest of the pack, was, I swear, just a newborn in my teenage arms, was just my 5 year old flower girl, was just a sassy little kid....etc. etc.  Wow!  How the years fly by!  I'm sure her parents feel the same way! Sniff!  sniff!***

Ok, back to the JUGs Challenge!  Be sure to check out the DT offerings at their blogs.
