The Just Us Girls Challenge blog is currently under construction BUT you can still play along with this week's sketch!

I feel so Blessed & have so much to be Thankful for, I thought it was appropriate to make a Thank You card & gift box today. I combined 3 challenges to make this set. In no particular order: 1. For color inspiration this week's color combo from the Color Throwdown #63, CTD63 2. For sketch inspiration Sketch #136 from Card Positioning Systems, & 3. this week's Pile it on - Challenge #18 - Three Dimensional. For more inspiration, please visit all the sites I have mentioned! Hopefully you will join in the fun! Thanks for looking! Be Sweet!
Here is my Thank You card & gift box:
As a lil' accent, I adhered a medium sized punched flower & button on the inside of the card. 
You can see from this angle ALL the dimension going on here!
This is the Petite version of the PTI's Tucked Away My Timeless Template designed by the amazingly talented Lauren Meader. Don't be fooled by the word Petite! This lil' box easily holds 6 Hersheys Nuggets!
