Just Add Ink #777...BLOG HOP!

 

Welcome back to our first Just Add Ink challenge for 2026!

As we always do, we are kicking of the year with a full team "Blog Hop" with the theme of "Add Something Seasonal" for this year.

If you are happily hopping, you would have arrived here from my lovely and talented friend Narelle and her fabulous seasonal project.

As its the middle of Summer here and that generally means beach hangs and finding all sorts of creatures in the shoreline and rock pools.

So the Ocean Friends bundle and Friends of the ocean dsp were an easy choice. Hints of Bermuda Bay & Lemon Lime Twist cardstocks, with the Gold Open Weave trim and some Sunny Day Iridescent dots to add some sparkle.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Celebration stamp set.

We would love you to join in with our hop and share your seasonal projects, wherever you are in the world!

To see what the rest of the team have created, click the NEXT link and continue on the hop to the lovely Jan McQueen

Welcome back to our first Colour INKspiration challenge for 2026.  Lou has provided some lovely colours to create with and you'll have 4 weeks to join in the fun.

I wanted to combine the colours with some new supplies and have used the lovely subtle "Lasting  Linen" BG stamp in crumbcake, with a new fave floral, the "Fragrant Layer" stamp set and popped them all on 2 of the Party Banner diecuts.

Finished it all off with a linen thread bow & some 24-26 In Col shimmer dots.
