Thanks to everyone who played along with Keryn’s Anniversary dare last week.
Once again you didn’t disappoint us with your beautiful creations and we’ve all had fun, blog hopping to see them all.
Sadly, this week will be Anne-Kristine's last creation for us, we hope you've gained as much inspiration from her fabulous cards as we have. Thank you Anne-Kristine for sharing your special brand of creativity with us these last few weeks.
The good news is that the Lovely Paula has agreed to stay with us for another month (woowoo) which means we get the whole of September to enjoy seeing lots more of her wonderful work. We'll also be introducing a brand new Guest Designer next week....

This week it’s my turn (Sue) to dare you and I was having a bit of trouble finding a challenge that would stretch the imagination and get those creative juices flowing. The idea for Inchies came to me when I was chatting to a friend about people taking liberties and she uttered the old saying, “give them an inch and they take a mile”……..Ahh. Inchies I thought!! "Inchies" are 1 inch (or 2.5cm) squares of card, inked, painted, papered and decorated in any way you like, they are often made to a theme then swapped with others in a group rather like ATCs are.
If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, the design team have come up with some great arrangements on their cards as you will see when you scroll down but I’ll let you into a little secret, even they were complaining that it was difficult this week.
So off to your craft desks with you, I can’t wait to see all your cards!!
Have Fun

So my dare this week is to make inchies and put just five of them on your card.
There’s no set theme, colour or shape, I’m just intrigued to see how many different ways you can arrange the five tiny squares.
When you’re done, link your cards in the usual way so we can all come see your creations. There’s no set theme, colour or shape, I’m just intrigued to see how many different ways you can arrange the five tiny squares.
