Just Us Girls #212 - Photo Inspiration

 Hi everyone, Marisa here.  Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Photo Inspiration Challenge!  I just looove fall colours (they give me warm fuzzies LOL), especially the gorgeous maple leaves as they change colour (might have something to do with being Canadian wink, wink).   So....I just "had" to go with a fall themed picture for us to use this week.  Below is the larger image for your convenience.

 

Lots of room to have some creative fun.  Here is what the Design Team came up with to get your inspiration going.

JUGS Color Challenge # 211

Hello all you creative people out there in "Blogland,"

Nancy here with this week's Color Challenge!

I knew right away when I saw these colors together, I needn't look any further.

I love blue and brown together, don't you?

In fact, I am in love with these colors so much that

 I decided to use them in my kitchen remodel.  I didn't

realize how hard it was going to be to accent with blue though.

Okay, enough about how I love these colors and my new kitchen,

 and on with the FABULOUS design team samples!

These ladies hit this challenge out of the park....and I truly mean that!!!

Way to go JUGHEADS!!!  

So proud to be designing with all of you!
