Happy New Year!

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas & the opportunity to enjoy a break. Welcome to a fabulous 2021 of fun challenges sharing what we love to do. As is our tradition at Just Add Ink we are kicking the year off with a Blog Hop.

Given the year we've all had, spending time with, missing & worrying about family has been a big thing for many. Our 'Family' theme covers many creative options relating to family events, milestones, missing family.....in your blog posts please share with us the meaning behind your project, family member or occasion.

Rather than adding all of the design team projects to this post, we have added their blog links below so you can follow the hop and leave some comments as you go.

You can begin the blog hop here by clicking on Patrice's name, or at any of the other design team members blog posts. Then just follow the hop by clicking on the next button that you will find at the bottom of all the design team posts.
