Let's Ink It Up is Back!

I just wanted to say a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  I took a much needed break, and just enjoyed my family and the festivities.  Now I'm back and raring to go!

The challenge at Let's Ink It Up this week will be fun and easy, we'd like to see anything!  That's right, anything goes!  Our sponsor this month is  Make it Crafty.  Here's what our sponsor has to say:

Make it Crafty - Think it. Make it. Love it!

Make it Crafty is a dream come true for Zoe who has loved making projects from paper from a young child. Whether it be drawing, making cards, colouring, or her absolute favourite 3D mechanical projects; Zoe is always trying to think about new ideas to play with!

For a number of years Zoe has wanted to share her ideas and love for craft products with you and so Make it Crafty was finally born where she sells some of her favourite products as well as her own range of both digital and rubber stamps.

Zoe only sells products she uses personally so she is always ready to help you where she can. You may also like to stop by the Make it Crafty Blog to see the latest projects, news and tips!

The prize from Make it Crafty is a stamp of your choice, so let's get creating in this new year!



For my project I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and made this cutie:

I just loved this turtle from Inky Antics' set Flower Turtle.  The sentiment from that set was so fun so I added that as well.

The funny thing is that it was so sunny when I went outside to take these pics, and then I came in and it started a snow squall!  What a strange winter we are having so far......

I have entered this card into the following challenges:

Kaboodle Doodles - anything goes
Craft Your Passion - anything goes
My Time to Craft - up in the air
Charisma Cardz - birthdays and celebrations
Southern Girls Challenge - anything goes

Have a great weekend!  See you soon!
