Design Team Call with JUGS

Hey ladies - Just Us Girls is conducting a call for a new Design Team member. As you know, Tracey had to step down recently and we would like to replace that spot. If this is something you'd like to be considered for, here are a few things you need to know.

1. Each Design Team member needs to have a blog due to the nature of how we all post every week.
2. We ask you to play along with each challenge and to have your project to the hostess and your personal post ready to go by Friday night at the latest. (We know sometimes there are emergencies and that's ok.)
2. We ask each team member to host a challenge about once every 6-8 weeks. When you are the hostess you need to write up the blog post, and are ultimately responsible for choosing the Chic of the Week for your challenge week.
3. All DT girls vote on their favorite Chic of Week when we select our Featured Designer for the month.
4. We like each team member to comment on our participant's entries when possible. (Based on feedback from our participants, this is one of the main reasons JUGS has been so popular.)

Now - if that sounds like something you can handle and commit to and you are interested in being considered, here are your TWO assignments for the DT call. Please read and follow all instructions carefully.

• 1st - we want you to create a card or scrapbook layout based on the sketch we include below.

• 2nd - since we conduct a monthly 3D template (or gift package) challenge each month we want you to pick a favorite 3D template and assemble and decorate it then share it with us. There are many free ones out there if you don't have any of your own.

• 3rd - Please write up ONE blog post and include both of your projects on your post.

• 4th - Post a DIRECT LINK to that blog post with your Design Team call project to the Inlinkz form at the bottom of this post.

Inlinkz will close on Wed. May 12 at 7:00 PM EST so be sure to get your submission in before then.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. We hope to choose our new DT gal in early enough to have our new girl start with us in June.

OK - here's your sketch for part 1 - it's not been "prettied up" but you should be able to work from it.

If you have questions please email me -->  stampinpam at me dot com

Happy creating!

Chic of the Week #30

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much to all who participated & played along with Just Us Girls in this week's template challenge :) No matter how many players there are, it is never an easy task to choose the winner because in my mind, you are all winners :) Unfortunately, only one participant can be named "Chic Of The Week" and that person is: Sam - Sam created this darling rocking horse gift basket.
Sam used buttons for the eyes & look at the frilly mane! Congratulations Sam, I will be sending you the JUGs Chic of the Week badge!

Here are few other creations that caught my eye:

Davi made this beautiful & elegant gift box.
Chrissie made this dreamy looking gift box &
Heather made this bright & cheerful boot shaped gift box.

Lauren of My Time Made Easy sponsored this week's template challenge & has offered one lucky randomly chosen participant a free My Time Made Easy template!

And the LUCKY winner is participant #19Penny, please contact us via the email link on our JUGS blog and let us know how to get a hold of you. We will need info from you to get the template to you!

Thanks again to all who played along! Hope to see you Saturday for a new sketch challenge!
Be Sweet!
