Love this inspiration photo for this week's Just Us Girls challenge. So wished I had a truck stamp but no such luck so I honed in on the sunflowers and the chalk board behind them.Out came Clearly Besotted's sunflower stamp and matching die and it was great fun making the chalkboard :) A stitched outline and some twine for a country feel and my card was done.
The rest of the JUGS team along with our August Guest Designer, Kristie, have some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going, so head on over to the Just Us Girls blog and check out what they've created. Simply create a card using the sketch and link it up to the JUGS blog for a chance to be chosen as the Chic of the Week. Remember, if you are chosen as Chic of the Week, you could be invited to be a Guest.

Gorgeous!!
Perfect interpretation of the inspiration photo! Love that chalkboard (that is something that intimidates me) with the beautiful sunflower. The twine is the perfect addition to this.
I hope the soccer games go well! Love the big happy sunflower!
Thnks for this beautiful card Marisa! you've shown me another way to use this fab stamp and die. Only used it once! Doh! xxx
This is darling Marisa. I love red and sunflowers together. It's funny, I am creating with sunflowers right now too! Love your work.
Bear Hugs,

A very striking card, Marisa. Who need a truck when they have a beautiful sunflower? :-)
Perfectly classic - it's lovely!!
Super fun inspired card - love that sunflower
Beautiful. Love the sunflower.
What a wonderful message on this chalkboard and a beautiful sunflower to boot! Hope you win that soccer game! Good weather is always welcome!
Great card, Marisa! I love your beautiful color combo and that darling sunflower!
No truck stamp required, Marisa, because the elements you've selected to use are absolutely amazing. I'm swooning over the sunflower; show-stopping gorgeous! A card that's farm-fresh fabulous! Hope the soccer tournament is going well; cheering that the weather is cooperating! We'have had nothing but rain and clouds all week; now that I'm going back to work tomorrow (eek!), the forecast is for sunny and warm. Figures...

Beautiful card, Marisa! Love the chalk board and lovely sunflower!
yes, chalkboards are the ultimate fun! I think that's why I haven't replaced my main board in the class with a whiteboard…I'm old school like that! LOL
Wonderful! Love your sunflower and chalkboard!
Beautiful card!
Perfect interpretation Marisa! I didn't even see the chalkboard till I was done!! You nailed this challenge! Love it!
Wow, that sunflower is GORGEOUS! Love the colors on this - that blue panel is so pretty with the shading and the sentiment is wonderful - very cool! Hugz!
Ok - so the chalkboard looked blue this early in the morning...LOL!
