I’m a writer, blogger, cook, mum to three fur-babies, and wife to a wonderful man. I also work full-time as a child carer. I have a series of blogs all under the main heading of The Joyful Soul. In these blogs I explore my love of creativity in various ways.
It’s time for a new challenge at Perfectly CAS, and this month our theme is ‘splash’, which is entirely open to your interpretation. I chose a cute image for my card to invoke the splashy feel. Don’t forget that for this challenge your design should take up no more than 1/3 of your card space.

Our latest challenge at Cupcake Inspirations is a colour challenge, with a beautiful inspiration image. We’re looking for projects using maroon, teal and gold. These colours should be the focus of your project, but beyond that you can be inspired in whatever way you like!
The first challenge of the year at Cupcake Inspirations is Arctic Animals, and we’re now into our second week. We have a sponsor for this challenge, and our lucky randomly chosen winner will receive three sets of digital stamps from Pixel Paper Prints, who also provided the images that the design team have used.
