Just Us Girls Template Challenge

I'm sooo glad it's Saturday. It seems to have been a very busy week! But the Just Us Girls team has a great template challenge for you today and we are teasing you a bit, as well. We are being sponsored today by Lauren Meader from My Time Made Easy, and we are showing sneak peeks of her new line of Pretty Impression stamps, Pretty Packaging, and Pretty Printables. These won't officially be released until February 1st. Here's my JUGs project.The stamp set is called Critters with Heart and has several different critters made with hearts. I just fell in love with this raccoon, so I had to use it for my project. There are several sentiments that go with each of the critters. I just love this "you stole my heart" sentiment with this raccoon. He looks like a jail bird in his stripes!The template is appropriately called Happy Mail and is so easy to pull together. I used the SVG file of this template with my Cricut Expression (for the first time...yeah!!) and after a little fiddling and a phone call to my friend, Kristin, I was up and running! (I realized I didn't read all of the instructions Lauren includes with her files, which would have answered my question. I was too excited to get cutting with my Cricut!) Having the Cricut cut it for me was a dream! The digi paper is called Love Notes, designed by Kristin, and includes four different designs. This one is called Multi Hearts and I fell in love with this as well when I immediately saw it! There is a gingham print pack and a polka dots print pack being released also. Real pretty colors, too! Want to see more? Stop by the JUGs blog and see what the JUGs DT has done. You might also want to stop by their blogs for more pictures of their individual projects and leave some love. Here are the links to their blogs and our guest designer for January Gabby Arriaza. I'm also including Lauren's blog because I think she has something fabulous to share as well.

You might want to give that one a try, or use any template of your choice! We'd just love to see you play along! ***I forgot to mention a really important piece of information....There is some awesome blog candy being offered for this challenge!
