JAI 82 - Just Add...Something from your stash!

Hi inkers

Wasn't that a great colour challenge put up by Bronwyn Eastley last week? Thanks to all those who joined in  and we hope you will join in again with our new challenge for this week. What Jo Eades has challenged us to do this week is to rummage through our craft stash and find something we've had in there for ages and haven't used and put it into a new project. This challenge was put forward by Jo as a way to say farewell to items being retired from the current Stampin' Up! catalogue and allowing room for exciting new products to be released in the new catalogue, available from 1 September!

How often do you buy items with an idea in mind and put it in your craft room and then end up forgetting to use it, only finding it ages later when looking for something else. Well now it is time to find that long lost item and give it pride of place in a new craft project and share it with us all here. I dare you to go deep into that craft stash you have and find something forgotten...go on I dare you!

Here are some projects created by Design Team members to inspire you to get creative with your long forgotten items...

Hello Everyone

Happy Thursday to you all.  Hope your week has been good to you.  Did anyone notice if the Linky Tool closed early?  If it did, please accept our apologies.  Mae and I are learning the 'behind the scenes' ropes and the Linky Tool seems to operate on its own logic when it comes to setting the closing time.

I noticed that many of you found this colour combo one that you would not have normally chosen, but that's why Just Add Ink is a challenge site. *smile*  Even though you felt out of your comfort zone, you all produced beautiful cards.  Thank you for taking up our challenge!

Anyhoo, it's time to announce the winner for this week, and it is Erna with this beautiful card -

Congratulations!

A Fond Farewell to Gardenia

Recently we have had to say farewell to one of our Design Team members, Gardenia Pepworth, who has decided to step down from the team and branch out in a new direction. You can see her new venture Soleful Steps on Facebook. Here is a snapshot of some of the lovely creations that Gardenia has shared with us here on Just Add Ink...

Gardenia, we have loved your work and all that you have done with Just Add Ink as part of the Design Team and we all wish you the very best in the future and with Soleful Steps! We'll be looking for you in the challenges!

Lots of Love,
The JAI Design Team

JAI 81 - Colour Challenge

Hi inkers!

Well life must be busy for not only many members of the Design Team but lots of our followers too, as last week we didn't receive as many entries as we often do, but those that we did receive were very inspiring and great interpretations of the sketch provided.

This week we have another Colour Challenge for you and again Bron has provided us with this interesting colour combo! She really likes to put some challenges our way and I suppose that as we are a challenge site...that must be a good thing then, don't you think?

Here are the colours to use...

and here are the projects from the Design Team to inspire you and entice you to join in the challenge...
