Well hello and welcome to the first Just Add Ink challenge for 2015. It's nice to be back :)
Once again we are starting off the year with a blog hop to showcase the design team's projects for the challenge. You may have arrived here from Louise Sharp's blog (wasn't her project delightful!) or you can begin the blog hop here. Just click on the blog hop button at the bottom of the post or the link in the text at the end to move on to the next DT blog (Jodene Tripp). (You'll be glad you did!)
So what are we kicking the year off with? This week the challenge, from Christine, is to Just Add Love with the added twist of using a tag sketch as part (or as) your project. Here are the details.
An important January project for me every year is a birthday card for my little Miss - I think you'll be able to work out what milestone birthday we are up to this year ;) The first version of this turned out like something you would make for your 80 year old granny - perfect for that but just SO not right for a 10 year old! The new version is scrappy and bright (but not shabby) and rather remarkably liked by Miss almost 10. Thank goodness for that!

The rest of the Just Add Ink DT have a wonderful array of inspiration generating projects for you to see so please do continue on and visit the rest of the team. Your next stop on the blog hop is Jodene Tripp's blog. I know she has something just gorgeous for you to see!
Hope you can join us for the challenge,
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

ReplyDeleteAnother STUNNING card Kim! You know I have a soft spot for crisp, clean shabby chic..Miss 10 has good taste!
ReplyDelete10, a number that had me so overwhelmed when our DD turned ten (nearly 2 years ago now) - how are you holding up? It was like suddenly we had a big girl and my baby was gone! xo
Wow, Miss 10 would have felt very special receiving this beauty. So many of your signature details. Love how you've laid out the tag with the numbers & vellum too & ...
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for cheering me on for my first DT challenge
Hugs, D
