Hi everyone Darcy here. Last week Keren Baker showcased several ways of making embellishments, lots of ideas that could be used on anything from cards to scrapbook layouts. Lin joined us, and showed step by step how to create a really bold journal cover. Then Alison returned with a really pretty,summery frame, colour mixing made it a wow! project. We ended the week with a newcomer to the blog, Jan, who made the most delightful JoFY themed card.
Thanks to everyone who joined in and made projects last week.We thoroughly enjoy seeing your creations. We really appreciate it when you take the time to leave positive comments, it means so much to us and the designers. The newest journal challenge is also up, you can find all the details HERE.
P.S. We have a new section in the sidebar. Look for the title 'The Classroom' under that heading you will find links to previous posts that we feel contain really useful techniques or product information.

Now that we, at last, have some summer... penny has been getting in the spirit by creating this beach holiday themed piece. Using driftwood and different sizes of microscope slides she has made this delightful scene. I love how we can see through each layer.

Just make sure you come back to this post, and use the linking tool below to show us your entry. We have extended the challenge entry deadline to 5pm on Sunday evenings.
Make sure on Sunday 20th July by 17:00 (5pm London time) you need to have your link entered below, and you will go into one of 2 draws to win new stuff.
To help you find the linky tool when you need it, just look at the final green paragraph on each blog post, there you will find a link that brings you back to this post.
Weekly Challenge guidelines
The first draw is for every single entry listed, so if you have multiple entries, you get entered multiple times.
The second draw is only for one entry per name, and the winner of Draw 1 is not included in this second draw. Having 2 draws makes it fair for everyone, no matter how many times you can join in during the week.
As this challenge is to show how you have been inspired to action by this week's designer, make sure in your blog post you explain what prompted you to create.
Please don't feel you need to copy a designer's work exactly, it may be one small aspect or idea that you want to explore that sends you into the creative zone. You are also welcome to use any stamps/ products / substrates you have to hand, we do not expect you to exclusively use PA products - but of course it is lovely when you do!
The winners are announced Sunday evenings in the 7pm blog post (as above). It is your responsibility to check back and see if you have won. If you are a winner, email Darcy darcydotneedles@hotmail.com with the name of the stamp you would like, and your snail address. We do not chase people for unclaimed prizes.
If we are away at an event, then the winners post would generally be updated by Monday evening with draw details.
