Inspire.Create.Challenge #185 | Clean & Simple

Good morning and welcome to Challenge #185. This week we have a Clean & Simple challenge for you.

Clean and Simple are two words which rarely appear in my own style of crafting but sometimes it is nice to strip everything back and see what happens!

We want to see your creations with the theme in mind and share them with us.

Here are some the Design Team have made to get you started.

So now it's your turn, the challenge closes at midnight (GMT) on Wednesday 5th February.

Have fun!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #182 | Christmas - Anything But a Card

Good morning to you all, happy December. Christmas always begins for us on the 1st December and today we will be playing Christmas music and decorating the house. Over the years I have made various projects which only come out for the Christmas period and I thought it was a good subject for a challenge. So the challenge is to make a project for Christmas which is anything but a card so it could be a decoration, gift tags, gift boxes, home decor or a handmade gift, liniwhatever you wish.

I am excited to see your contributions to this one. Here are a few for inspiration.
