JAI #169 - Inspiration Photo

This week Delys has given us an 'Inspiration Photo' to use for our challenge and I must say I did find it a challenge, although it offered many options.....beach, water, colours, silhouette, reflections etc.....whatever you could find from it that inspires a project.

Here is the photo...

To also help you with further ideas, here is what the Design Team have come up with this week as a result of using the photo as their starting point...

JAI#167 - Just Add...Fabric!

This week has flown by or have I slept through it after the excitement, fun and exhaustion of our Stampin' Up! Convention in Brisbane last week? Convention is a great opportunity for many of the Just Add Ink Design Team to get together face-to-face and enjoy each others company as we have become such good friends through this challenge site and Stampin' Up!

It was also good to meet face-to-face many of you lovely followers and weekly challenge participants that went to Convention too! I won't name any of you here as I would be likely to miss someone and I don't want to offend, so waving ~~ to ALL our lovely challenge followers and participants!!

So without further ado here is this week's challenge...

To Just Add...Fabric!

Here is what the Design Team have come up with this week to provide you with inspiration...
