Bring ON the HOLIDAYS!



~Super hostess gift idea~

Check!



For your creative INSPIRATION, the lovely ladies of Just Us Girls
are tempting you with a super timely creation - Make a box, and
fill with coordinating cards! {What a LOVELY hostess gift idea!}

There's all kinds of tutorials out there, and certainly, if you're a
template junky - there's a million of 'em!!! If you've not challenged
yourself to work in 3D - THIS is a terrific place to start! Treat
yourself to a visit to the Just Us Girls headquarters, and then off
to the designers - we've got LOTS of ways to share the inspiration,
so I hope you'll give the girls some love! This is SUCH a great idea
and our DARLING, and AMAZING Andrea is our fine and fabby
hostess with the mostess! I hope you'll jump in and
PLAY ALONG with us! {!}
