When I first saw the inspiration picture I immediately noticed the white, the silver and the rainbow of colours. I thought of trying to incorporate a Christmas tree but it just didn't work.

I wanted to keep with the gentleness of these colours and try my hand at minimal but colourful, something I rarely manage to achieve!

I always love a good sketch and this is certainly a good one! I started out wanting to do something a little different but somehow I have returned to my regular style!

This has to be one of the quickest and easiest cards I have made in a long time and you just have to love DSP for this technique!

Flowers I can do but doors and windows are a whole other story so I used decided to take a 'spin' on the word window and use a window frame.

This challenge took me ages! I tried so many things but I don't have a lot of 'woodsy' supplies. I ended up taking my inspiration from the woods and the colours and created this crittery birthday card!

I don't think I have ever worked with colours as strong and deep as these and I thought I would have to come up with something masculine. I was in the middle of something else when this retired stamp set came back across my desk and I think the end result is very 'me'.

Today is my darling Dad's birthday and since I wanted to make the card cheerful I thought I would combine it with this challenge!

Lots and lots of ideas for this challenge but I decided to use an old retired stamp set. I have so many birthdays this month and next I really needed to replenish my stash!

If you follow me or my cards you can see that this challenge is right up my alley! It includes everything I usually put into my cards. Choosing which two was going to be a big problem!

One thing I have not done in a long time is Christmas cards. Usually time gets away from me and they aren't done with enough time to send. I decided to bite the bullet this time around and start my Christmas creations (time will tell if I finish them) with this JAI challenge.

If you are a bit of a follower of my cards you will know I very rarely do green cards and if I remember rightly, Pretty Peacock was not a favourite the first time around. However, the new Lemon Lolly is a stunning pastel yellow and pairs beautifully with Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock.

Well this one indeed turned out to be a challenge for me, I hasve nothing musical in my stash at all! Thankfully I found some stamps I recently inherited from my Mum that (kind of) fit the bill!

Welcome again to our latest Just Add Ink Challenge and this week we have a 'Choose Two' challenge for you!

I assumed this challenge would be relatively easy and had planned to use Banners and Pastels but nothing about my card this week came out as planned! I started working with the Subtles colour range and that very quickly fell apart and it wasn't until I finished this second attempt at the challenge that my first idea came together but now I'll save that for another challenge.

I'm (semi) back for the latest Just Add Ink challenge! This week we have an Inspiration Challenge for you!

How is everyone? Sorry for the extended break but some of you may not know my dearest Mumma passed away in early February after an extended battle with Multiple Myeloma and I have just had no inspiration or desire to sit down and create anything. She was finally laid to rest a couple of weeks ago and although my heart is still very heavy with her loss I needed to pull my finger out and create a birthday card for my amazing sister who has been an absolute rock for me, and my mum, since Christmas.

What a fun way to kick off the year! Initially I was going to have a play with probably my most favourite stamp set - Birthday Blooms - but as I was looking at the cards of mine that you guys liked most from the last year the most obvious choice became to remake, with a twist, the card I made for my Mum's birthday last year.
