Flower Show July Challenge

Hi Everyone

I cannot believe we are already in July; where does the time go to.  Really sorry I have been so remiss at blogging - there has been an awful lot going on at home over the past few weeks that my crafting has definitely taken a back seat :(.

Anyway, onwards and upwards and I am really excited to tell you about a new monthly challenge we will be having.  At the beginning of each month we will give a theme and you can create a layout, card or off-the-page item that fits in with the theme and submit it by clicking on the inlinkz icon at the bottom of the blog post.  We will randomly choose the winner and you can enter up to three times as long as they are different creations.  The winner will win a £20 Bellaboo e-voucher, so definitely worth entering :).  All that we ask is that one of the main products you use on your creation is a Bellaboo product ie a stamp, patterned paper, one of our kits, a mask etc and mention this on your Blog post with a link.  If you don't have a blog you can still enter, just send me an email with a photo of your creation.

The July Challenge is....

FLOWER SHOW

This can be a layout with photos of a Flower Show, floral papers used in your creation or perhaps a floral stamp, the choice is yours.  To get you started we have some creations from the Design Team:-

'Just for You' Gift Box by Nicky Parry

Nicky has used the 'Park Drive' Monthly Kit to create this beautiful box and the Wild Meadow Stamp Set on the sides and tag.  The box will have cards in and makes a beautiful gift.

'Hinge Card' by Wendy Gay

Details of Wendy's beautiful card can be found on her Blog.  

She has used flowers and papers from the Prima range 'Engraver' 

'Thinking of you' Card by Tracy Harris

This beautiful card is created using the Blooming Great Stamp Set from IndigoBlu., Distress Inks, Walnut stain, Mustard Seed and Rusty Hinge and Brighton Pier Megaflake and Flitterglu.

'Bloom & Grow' Layout by Martina Gardner

Martina has used papers from the Miss Nelly range by Kaisercraft to create this lovely layout of her daughter and with the leftovers she has created this pretty card. 

'Opal the Optimist' Card by Kate Holliday

I have used one of the new Stamping Bella Stamps 'Opal the Optimist' together with the gorgeous new papers from Echo Park 'Beautiful Life'.

Just a few ideas to wet your appetite, we can't wait to see what you create, so make sure you get your creations in by midnight on 31st July for you chance to win a £20 Bellaboo Voucher.  Good luck!
