Welcome! Today I am joining in a Guest Designer for my friend Kelly Kent's Paper Adventures Team Blog Hop! The theme for the hop is Australia, which is really suitable at the moment with Australia Day being on January 26 and all the horrible devastation that is happening here right now.



I decided to take inspiration from those horrible headlines surrounding the Australian bushfires for my card for this hop and I used the kangaroo and koala image from the Animal Outing stamp set, two animals which have really been impacted by our fires.

Welcome to our latest Just Add Ink Challenge! This week we have a colour challenge for you with colours suggested by Rachael, and you get to choose which 3 you use!





With so many gorgeous rich colours to choose from it was hard to pick just 3! In the end I chose Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay and Call Me Clover, 3 colours which ordinarily I wouldn't put together!

Welcome to 2020 and a new year with Just Add Ink! We are kicking off the year with a blog hop and our theme is 'Celebration' in honour of our 10th year and also hitting 1000 followers on our Facebook page!





You may have hopped here from Nikki's blog or you may be starting the hop here but regardless I know you will be flawed by the Design Team's creations for our annual hop.

I wanted to use a new set for my project so I chose the Painted Poppies from the new January-June 2020 Mini Catalogue. With a thick Whisper White card base I popped in a Purple Posy layer to set off the watercoloured background. Not having the matching DSP yet this gave me a chance to play with colours for my poppies and I ended up using Blackberry Bliss and Blushing Bride, with Granny Apple Green for the leaves. I've set the colours off with some gold accents and the gorgeous Flax ribbon.





As part of our milestone celebrations the design team are offering prizes. Our Top Pick & Honourable Mentions will receive a special gift. We'll be choosing some other entries to receive a little something also - to be eligible all you have to do is leave a comment on each of the blogs along the hop - 14 stops in total. Prizes include stamp sets, card kits, embossing folders, ribbons, rhinestones, handmade cards/tags....

PLEASE NOTE: Prizes are only eligible to South Pacific (Australia & New Zealand) entries - sorry to those of you from all around the world, postage prices are very steep these days.

I hope you're inspired to join in our first challenge of the year and please follow the hop right around, you won't be disappointed! The next stop is the ever-so-talented Jackie Aitken with her stunning project!
