JUGS #181 - Photo Inspiration

Hello all! Andrea here with a brand new challenge. It's photo inspiration time!

Before we get to the beautiful DT samples, I have some sad news. It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from the JUGS DT...it has been the most amazing ride (I've been with the team since early 2010) and I can't overstate what an AMAZING, creative and supportive group of ladies, both past and present, comprise the JUGS DT. It has been my honor and pleasure to be a part of such a special team! Thank you all!!! But of course I'll be back to check in on everyone :) I've made some incredible friends and am so blessed our paths have crossed!

Now on to the challenge! You can interpret the photos any way you see fit; you don't need to use all the colors, they are merely there to stir your creativity ;)

Let's see how the JUGs design team interpreted the photos...
