Just Add Ink #154- Winners

Afternoon everyone.....Well it seems this weeks challenge was a little confusing as to what is classified as a "Pop-Up" card. We had a few entries that unfortunately did not qualify, although they were great cards, just not a "Pop-Up"...Sorry! But we did get some great entries that did meet the challenge requirements and loved them all.

But, there can only be one winner and this week the Design Team have chosen Judy May as our Top Pick!

Judy May

Here's what some of the Design Team had to say about Judy's  Beautiful Card!

 "Beautiful use of colour and texture, and the pop-up flower box is stunning."

"Stunning - so many beautiful details"

 "Such stunning colours and gorgeous detail."

Congratulations!

Here is your badge to wear on your blog.

JAI #153 Colour Challenge

We had some great entries last week for our 'hearts' challenge and so hopefully we can inspire and encourage you to join in again this week with our Colour Challenge. This combination was suggested by Nikki and I know a few of the Design Team members felt they struggled with it, but I can't see where, as their cards are just lovely. As usual with the DT there is such a variation in styles and ways to promote these colours that you are sure to find inspiration from what is displayed here. We can't wait to see what you come up with using these colours...

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

JAI Scrapbooking Challenge #14 -Lace and Ephemera

Well the months are just galloping by already as February is here and its time for a new Scrapbooking challenge ...which is to add

 Lace and Ephemera! 

and what is Ephemera you say? 

I found this list here for some ideas.
 but  generally it is charms, watch faces, ticket stubbs, paper clips, buttons, old patterns, material or postcards. The challenge is to put some of these on your Layouts as they are sometimes not acid and lignin free! Thankfully the scrapbooking product makers out there do a range of these items so we can safely put them on our Layouts! If you do want to add non acid and lignin free then we suggest you buffer it with acid free cardstock or cellophane bags or away from your photo and writing. 

So here is what the Scrapbooking Design Team have come up with to inspire you.

 Last month we had two entries for our January challenge and Mr Linky Tools closed early for some strange reason so we'd like to thank Toni Herron and Julia Quinn for their entries. Go and check out both of these gorgeous LOs!

JAI 151 - Any shape!

Fridays seem to come around so quick these days and that is a good thing because it means another Just Add Ink challenge for you to join in with and a time for the Design Team to share some inspiration with you through their projects.

Before I get on with sharing this week's challenge with you I just want to say a big "THANK YOU!" to all of our followers and those lovely people who leave us such special and encouraging comments, we appreciate them all and enjoy sharing our love of stamping and crafting with you.

Without further ado, this week's challenge, and a great idea suggested by the lovely Tina Gillespie, is to...

Just Add....a Shaped Card!

That is any shape you would like, whether it be using dies, pre-cut shaped cards, templates or even your own design!
