Here is the cake - don't you just love it!!

The winner of this challenge will win some awesome goodies from my (Vicki's) handmade store,

hold a new release sale sometime this month, so keep an eye out!! :)

Here is some inspiration from our awesome DT!!

March Challenge!!

Can you believe it is March already? How quickly this year is flying by!!

We have a new challenge for you! We want you to take inspiration from our GREEN mood board!!

Of course you need to include a handmade item on your page too!

And here is some inspiration from our design team..

Ali

I took inspiration from the pops of colour in the photos as well as the shades of green .
Handmade embellie is the APOCD flair.

Amanda

Handmade stuff: Charms Creations Lollipop, Flutterby Designs flair and an old fimo cloud from my stash!

Catie

Inspiration taken from the colours (maybe just a little ) and the crayons and paint brush... they inspired me to get really creative with the background and make lots of texture. Have also taken the black and white and added them.
Handmade stuff is the flat flowers; they were all white to start with so stamped a couple with Staz On ink, and coloured the others with gelatos, as well as the flourishes and the shipping tag.

Chloe

I was inspired by the nature pic.
Handmade items from Burdy's and A Lil' Something.

Paula

My handmade item is A lil' Somethin' button

We would love to see your take on this inspiration board! Link your original entry to the linky bar by midnight March 31 to be in the running to win an awesome prize from Catie's Craft Corner!!
