I'm so excited - breaking news!!!!

At last I can say something, I've had to keep this quiet for the last couple of weeks and it has been soooooooo difficult as all I've wanted to do is shout it from the roof tops.  I've been asked to be on the Design Team for The Hotspot Challenge :-)   

The Hotspot Challenge sets monthly challenges around what’s “hot”, trendy, popular or in style at the moment or sometimes they’ll go retro and visit trends from the past and challenge you to use that as inspiration!  For us crafters this shouldn't be too difficult as we are always using our creativeness to design our cards, so why not have a go - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

April's challenge is to create something from your trash (rubbish), recycle something that you would normally throw away.  I've chosen to recycle an empty tissue box and have used the card to cut out lily pads to go along with my image - Vertie's Bath.  You've still got until 30th April to enter so hopefully see you over at the Hotspot Challenge.


As well as being a monthly challenge blog they also have an online store (which is where my image came from for this card) so why not go along and have a look although I can't accept any blame if you're tempted to buy :-)

I've entered this card into the following challenges:

2 Sisters - bingo (die cut, glitter & flowers)
Etsy Inspired - creating is fun - WINNER
Little Claire's - animals
Card Makin' Mamas - spring colours
Digi's With Attitude! - spring has sprung
Frosted Desgins - handmade embellishement
AiFactory - party animal
Rainbow Lady's - springtime
Crafty Creations - paper piecing
Creative Card Crew - spring
A Spoonfull of Sugar - all creatures great and small
Passion for Promarkers - make your own embellishments - TOP 5 PASSIONISTA
Top Tip Tuesday - spring has sprung
My Partner in Crafting Crime - layer it up
