Oh So Square
Happy Friday!
It's Shabneez here today and on behalf of the Design Team I'd like to thank those of you that took part in the Spring themed challenge last week.
This week I'd love to see squares on your card - perhaps a square shaped card or a multitude of squares, the more the better!
Here is some inspiration from the Design Team:

Spring is in the air!
Morning all!
It's Nat here with this week's new challenge!

But first, thank you to everyone who played along last week with our sewing-themed dare!

Here in the Northern
Hemisphere, the astronomical Vernal Equinox will soon mark the official
start of Spring - so let's welcome the official changing of the seasons with colours, florals, or any of other elements that shout SPRING to
you!
To get you started, here's some lovely inspiration from the design team:

Just Sew!
Good morning Lovely Crafters
Thank you so much for joining in and using Miri's beautiful moodboard to inspire your crafting last week.
It's Kathy here today, and I've been thinking about all the crafts we have in our armoury. I'm pretty sure that most of us dabble in many different crafts!
Hands up if you also crochet, paint, do woodworking, Cake decorating, pottery... or just maybe you sew?
Just Sew!
It doesn't have to be much and it doesn't have to be 'real'
For example you could add a 'real' stitch or two (or a whole lot of them!), or add something like a stitched embellishment.
Or go down the faux route with a stamped, drawn, stencilled or die cut stitching effect.
We're looking forward to seeing your ideas, but here are some from the team to help get you thinking
Kirsty
