Our first All Dressed Up challenge & release of 2014 is here...and what a fantastic release it is.
Both our teams have joined together for this Challenge/Release, and we are also having a blog hop...more details of this below!
We have four new releases this month, all of which can be found over on the store
Our theme for the the challenge is "Anything Goes". A nice and easy theme to start the new year with.
Here is my design team card for this challenge;
I have used 'Little Bookworm' which you will find here. I took my cue from the gorgeous retro hat she is wearing and used vintage DP and colour palette. Isn't she so cute?!
I also learnt to tie a beautiful double bow; something I have been meaning to do for a while. I know some of you already have this skill but if not, I checked out a few different tutorials and found the video tutorial here the easiest to follow and it made the nicest bow :-)
