Hi and Happy New Year! I’m really pleased to be opening the first 2020 Just Add Ink Challenge. It’s a pretty special one!
It’s a Blog Hop!
It’s all about Celebration!
Our 10th Year!
And it’s Celebrating 1000 Just Add Ink Followers!
Personally, at this time of year, I think there is a lot to Celebrate and reflect on. The year that has been and the year to come.
For me, 2019 was fabulous, with my time in Europe being a massive highlight. At work, our busy Meeting Season went really well with European staff to help us out. There is so much for me to Celebrate and be thankful for.
2020 – while there are no big trips planned (sad face) I am looking forward to the year ahead.
I have been so blessed to have been with Just Add Ink for the entire 10 years, since it started. Over the holidays I have been reflecting on the cards and projects that I have put together for the Challenges over the years, which has been fun. So for a laugh, here’s my first ever Just Add Ink Project: This was a colour challenge.
So – now to 2020 and the card I have created for the Celebration Blog Hop.
I have made this card to Thank a lovely lady.
The Stamps, Dies and DSP are all current Sale-a-Brations products that you can earn for FREE.
Can you see the sparkle on the Water Lily? I added a bit of Wink of Stella.
The Celebrate Blog Hop is set up in a loop so it doesn’t matter where you start. All you need to do is to follow along is click the “Next” Button at the end of each persons post and you will be taken to the next stop. Remember the Blog Hop also incorporates the Just Add Ink Challenge for this week – so after you have finished Hopping……go…create….and then Share your project with us at Just Add Ink.
So – here we go!! To advance onto the next Just Add Ink Design Team Member, click on the ‘Next’ button below. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the lovely Nikki Spencer…Enjoy and Celebrate with us!!
As I mentioned before, I feel there is a lot to Celebrate and be Thankful for at the moment. But I also know, that not everyone feels that way.
To encourage a few ladies to think about what they are grateful for or perhaps to acknowledge the little things that bring them joy, I decorated a couple of note books for them. That way they can write down the joy in their lives, in the hope that over time, they will be reminded of all the blessing around them.
Ink Everywhere 
Love the colours you have used in your design and how they reflect so much light that co’ordinates with the beautiful designer paper. The touch of glitter always adds a touch of class to me.
Love the idea of your notebooks… must use that idea if you don’t mind.
Congrats on the milestones of Just Add Ink. I love your creativity and willingness to share. Thanks for opening your heart to the world.
Fabulous card, and what a lovely gift those notebooks are. Congratulations on being part of such an awesome milestone!
Happy 10th! The photo inspiration is just gorgeous and you’ve captured it well in your card. It’s fun to look back on the first card, isn’t it? Enjoy the celebration. Karen F.a/k/a Kampin’ Karen

Your project is so lovely Chantell, the colours and design are a beautiful combination and those notepads are such a thoughtful gift.
