Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Julie - Happy Saturday! Today I've made this cute 'Just because' gift card which has little post-it notes on the inside. So cute! I"ve used this super cute Bella Bear in a bee costume digital stamp which is adorable...you can also get this precoloured too if you aren't into colouring...

Patricia - For the “Just Because” challenge. I created a Special Day Tag. Which I had so much fun creating by combining several techniques. The Your Love Lifts Me Up Balloon Digi Stamp “ I colored with my Copic markers, and it came out adorable. The sentiment “It’s your Special Day? Guit Outta Here!” from theGnome Men Greetings was the perfect touch, and I inked its edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used Distress Oxide inks in these three colors — Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, and Tumbled Glass — to blend across the background on the Tag, then added water splashes to activate the inks and create those magical spots. Using Vintage Photo Distress Ink, I blended the edges of the tag to give it a vintage look… and I loved the result — the blending turned out beautifully! To finish it all off, I added a Tiny yellow ribbon and some golden rhinestones.

I just loved how cheerful, sweet, and colorful this tag turned out! Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Taty - Hello creatives today I shared my DT inspiration, a lollipop created with the cute bear obtained with the Beary cute critter Great outdoors die and the brown eva rubber. I added the leaves and the small beehive cut with the same collection of dies. The lollipop is ready to decorate gift packages or a children's birthday table.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer! Today I'm sharing an adorable card using: Winnie Sunbathing, Coast Beach Sea Scene and Winnie Starfish Quotes. This came together quickly and turned out so cute! I sized everything in the computer and printed it out onto white cardstock. I used a fancy rectangle die to die cut a card base and a card panel after I had printed the design out. I ink blended the background some so there wouldn't be so much to color. I colored up Winnie in my favorite pink and orange combo after adding coloring to the background and blending out the inking that I did. I die cut the sentiment and colored it orange, edging it with copper ink. After the coloring of Winnie was done, it was time to embellish. I used tiny shell sequins, white Nuvo Drops on the waves and a shimmer pen through-out! And my project was finished! Copic Colors used: W0, W1, W3, W5, C0, C1, C2, R05, R37, R39, R59, YG11, G94, G82, Y02, Y21, Y38, YR12,
