Now on to this month's challenge which is kindly sponsored by Oak Pond Creations

I've been an artist since the day I was born I just never knew it. I have always loved arts and crafts. It's relaxing, therapeutic and just plain fun. As a child I used to color and craft a lot. As an adult I let real life completely take over and forgot about this past time. As a papercrafter, I wanted to make my greeting cards special by drawing my own characters and illustrations for them. I'm happy to share them with you :) Happy Crafting! <3 -Kim

We are going to be doing things a little differently this year - there will be posts on the 1st and 3rd monday of the month with inspiration for you and whilst we do try and get around everyone's blogs to comment on them we cannot promise to comment on every one. Rest assured that we do LOOK at them all though.

Here are some cards by some of our design team for your inspiration:
