Just Add...Kathy Tanner!

So check out Kathy's blog and find a card of her's that inspires you and get creating! Here is how Kathy inspired the other Design Team members for this week's challenge (mine will be added later as I have had a few hiccups in my planned week, so much that I haven't been able to find the time to create a Kathy tribute, sorry Kathy as you inspire me greatly!)

Jodene Tripp

Paula Dobson

Here Kathy has CASED herself, so it shows you can revamp your previous creations as well when you feel the MOJO fails or you need more inspiration...look through your own earlier work at times.

JAI#101 - Sketch Challenge

Our 100th challenge has now come and gone and we had some fun with the associated blog hop and the addition of 'crowns' on our projects. Thanks to all those who participated in the challenge, went on the blog hop and of course those of you who left us some lovely comments. We appreciate our followers and especially those who take the time to join in with our weekly challenges...so without further ado we have another sketch challenge for you this week...

This wasn't my week to design and with my son's wedding just gone I was pleased. However, I am doing this week's post because Delys has gone on a well deserved week of holidaying at her mum's holiday home...right up the northern tip of NZ...Tokerau Beach...magic place she said and I am sure she will tell us some things about it on her return. She did however put together her project for this week's challenge before leaving.

Check out what the Design Team made using the above sketch and then join in the fun yourself and link up your project below.

Now while some of you may be quivering in your boots at the thought of scrapbooking..Ruthy and I would like to show you one of our first ever LOs. Anyone can scrapbook and there are no rules..if you like what youve done thats all that matters. While I cringe at my first LOs that are nine years old ..its the process and memories that are often overlooked that are important in the journey.
