Just Us Girls #687 ~ Seashells

Hello and welcome! It's Saturday and that means a new challenge is up at Just Us Girls. Nancy is hosting word week with a fun summer theme... seashells! I had to search hi and low in my stash for seashells and came up with a few leftovers from a PPP set that I had gifted to a friend. I think made it work, but you let me know what you think!



I used those bits to make a scene with my favorite PPP tag. The background inside is a dry embossed panel with a touch of soft green ink added to the stems.

After creating my little scene, I remember a starfish stick stamp found at a stamping convention years ago. It's from a company caller Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I stamped it multiple times on an aqua panel to create my own background paper. I'll add a sentiment inside when I need it.

I hope you like it! Head over to the JUGs blog to see what the team and our guest designer Kristin have to share. They have some seashell creations that are sure to inspire you to join us!
