JUGS 134 - Template Time!

Good morning and happy Saturday to all,
Pam here... it is time for our monthly 3D or template challenge. With mother's day right around the corner we thought that perhaps this was a great week to challenge you to package up a gift for a special woman in your life, be it your mom, grandma, daughter, niece, or special friend.

Sometimes packaging your gift up with a little tender loving care and a splash of creativity says 'WOW" all the more! SO, if you've never tried it and even if you have - come on and get crafty with JUGS this week.

On a personal note, I will be stepping down from this amazing team. For full details read about it on my blog. It's a very hard and very sad thing for me to do since I helped to co-create this challenge site and it's been a special "from the heart" project ever since. Life changes and so do our priorities sometimes. THANK YOU to every one who follows JUGS and participates in these weekly challenges. You have rocked my world!! Keep it going girls!!!

How to play: Please copy and use our graphic on your post. You need to upload your project for this week's challenge to your online blog or public photo gallery. Leave a link that goes directly to your project in the Linky Tools form at the bottom of this post. If you upload to online galleries, please also use the keyword or tag, JUGS134. After you post to Linky Tools you may also leave a comment here.

Deadline to be considered for the "Chic of the Week" is 9:00 PM EST on Thursday, May 3rd. The Linky Tools form will close at that time. Our top pick, "Chic of the Week", will be announced on the following Friday morning.

We want you to be inspired so drop by our design team and see what they have in store for you then come play along with JUGS this week.
