Carol McFarland is our host for this weeks Just Us Girls Challenge where it is Color Week. Carol has chosen a wonderful summery color combination of pink and aqua. This is a great palette to work with! As this is our firts challenge of a new month, we welcome CAS Queen, Jane Taylor, as our super talented Guest Designer for June.
I just received my Waffle Flower haul that was loaded with summer fun including lots of seagulls. These birds can be a menace, especially if people nearby are feeding them (they love to drop presents from the sky). That said, I love to watch them as they are really very funny creatures. They are brazen enough to swipe a sandwich right out of your hand, or stick their beaks into a temporarily abandoned beach bag in search of some snacks... so I went with Waffle Flower Beach Tote stamp & die combo, Inquisitive Seagulls dies and lots of lots of shades of the challenge colors to create my card.
Please head over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog and check out the wonderful creations by Jane and the Design Team. Get crafty with your stash and join us in the gallery! I can't wait to see how our players are inspired by the colors.
Please note: we have created a longer timeframe for our challenges! Wednesdays at 6:00 pm EST will be our new ending time in order to give you another day to get your cards in the gallery! The Winner of the Week will be announced now on Thursdays, an hour before the new challenges open.

Stephanie... this card is super cute. The seagull with the French fry is priceless. I went shopping at the new Waffle Flower release as well... hoping my order arrives today. In the meantime, I will feast off of your wonderful card!
Very cute beach bag that seagull is an added bonus 😊
I love each and every element in this card! The seagull stole the show with that french fry, but the towels, bag, beach ball and glasses you created are fab! This makes me want to get in the car and go straight to the beach!!
I'm so happy to see this naughty guy 'enbiggened!' The 'shimmer' of your water, and his tracks in the sand are just fabulous - you are so right about needing BOTH those beach bags, girlfriend! I can't wait to get my hands on this set! xo

You are so quick, Stephanie! I just got new Waffle Flower too & haven't managed to use anything yet... Just love your seagull snuggled in the beach tote - adorable!! Thanks for sharing at Die Cut Divas!!
what a wonderful BEACH day card for our B challenge at MMM - thank you for joining us and sharing your creation.
Such a fun card! Loving all the die cuts, especially the sunglasses. And adding a seagull to the mix - brilliant! When I was a kid I once made the mistake of giving a chip to a seagull....only to suddenly have about 20 surrounding me. They are bold birds, that's for sure! (:
Meant to say....Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
Oh, my goodness!! This is so adorable!! That little bird is super cute and I LOVE those sunglasses! Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
This is so cute and I absolutely love that seagull with his stolen fry! Cute sunglasses, too.
Such a fabulous card, Stephanie! Your paper seagull is super cute, but a real life one scares the heck out of me. Terrified of birds...
hugs~c
Great card to brighten someone's day. So darn cute. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas this month.
Super fun card! Love the beach-themed items on your card, especially the seagull with the french fry. The sunglasses are super adorable - love the shine of the lens. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
