Just Add Ink - Blog Hop

Just Add Ink 198 - Blog Hop

Firstly, Happy New Year! 

This is my first blog post for 2014 and what better way to celebrate than thanking a friend for their friendship. I am so blessed to have beautiful friends and sometimes with the craziness of life we can forget to thank them for being there. Thank you to ALL my family, friends, blog followers, supporters and people in my life who make it so special.

Secondly, this is a Just Add Ink Blog Hop. And might I add, my first ever Blog Hop! (Big smiles)

 What is a blog hop? A blog hop is where a group of 'bloggers' post a topic and share links to other blogs and you the reader/follower move from one blog after another seeing all the entries. 

You should have just 'hopped' here from Kim Badelt. If this is your first stop you can hop all the way around from here or start at the Just Add Ink page. The inspiration for our blog hop is to make something using either the new Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board or the new Thinlits Card Dies. 

 

I chose the new Thinlits Card Dies using the circle card die. 

If you are a follower of my blog you will know I used the stamp set 'Kind & Cozy' from page 82 in my last Just Add Ink challenge! Yes, I am loving this little flower stamp, it's too adorable. 

Your next stop or 'hop' is the ultra talented Mae Collins and I am sure you will love her beautiful creations using both the Thinlits and the Envelope Punch Board!

Thanks for stopping by,

Just Add Ink - Colour Challenge

Just Add Ink 153

As most of you know, I love playing along with the Just Add Ink design challenges. I always get so much inspiration from everyone who submits their works of art, so pop on over and see all the creations - or even better, play along!

This week is a colour challenge suggested by the amazing Nikki Spencer.

I used to love this colour combination. I still do, but probably more of a pink girl now! Blue and yellow is a real trend in counrty magazines, so went with a country theme. I also have a soft spot for shabby-chic chairs!

"Freinds are kind to each other's hopes and cherish each other's dreams."

To all my friends who support my hopes and dreams - thank you.
