Just Add Ink # 270 Inspiration Challenge

It's now July and we are inching closer and closer to Christmas - so what better way to start thinking about it than this wonderful inspiration picture?

There's lots of stunning colours, shapes and textures to inspire you there.  Although it's a very Christmasy image - you do not have to limit your projects to Christmas themes.  Whether you make a Card, Scrapbooking layout or 3D item we love to see them all.  To help further, here is what the Design Team have come up with this week to provide you with inspiration...
