JAI #100 BLOG HOP!

In celebration of 100 challenges, JUST ADD INK have got a Blog Hop for you this Week!  If you have already started the hop, you will have arrived here from the lovely Patrice Easton's gorgeous project at Spring Blossom Musings.  Normally when celebrating a 100th Birthday, you would expect a message from the Queen.  In keeping with that theme, the brief was to just add Crowns. 

 There is a prize for commenting on all the Design Team member posts this week, and a prize for the winner of our Just Add Crowns Challenge.  So please leave some comment love on your way around the Hop!

I decided to try my hand at a View Master card.  I kept the front of the card fairly simple, because the fun is in the "wheel" of cardstock peeking through the punched window.

Simply spin the wheel and the image changes to a new one!  How cool is that?!!

I have also used Purple (Elegant Eggplant) and Gold for this card in keeping with the regal theme!

I will be teaching this type of card to my Crafty Class Ladies at the end of this month.  If you would like to join in and live local, then register for this class today!  Please see my Class Page at the top of this blog.

In the meantime, we are by no means done!  The next stop is the wonderful Ruth Clarke, and boy, does she have a fabulous project to share with you!

Simply click on the Crown to be taken to your next stop on the Hop!
