Hello! Happy July to you :) If you are celebrating Independence Day, hope you have a wonderful day :) 
Thank you so much for joining us last month for our challenge "Something for Summery or with Flowers". We had a phenomenal response and as usual found it so hard to choose a top three! With great deliberation we choose -
1st - #76 Norma
2nd - #67 Dots Dabbles
3rd -  #54 Julie P

Thanks again to all who played along with Craft for the Craic, and congratulations to our Top 3!
Please take the badge from the side to display it on your blog!

For July, the theme is an easy one! Your Favourite Colours :)



Our challenges are open to ANYTHING crafty or arty - cardmaking, scrapbooking, altered art, crochet, knitting, sewing, cake decorating, painting, drawing, candle making, jewellery making, whatever makes you craft or be creative we would like to see it!

This month we are showcasing some of our DT entries today, and then mid-month we will show some more! So be sure to pop back mid month for the other DT projects.

Purple and pink are my favourite colours.
This is a Canvas as a gift for my husband :)
I have used mists to make the 4 different colours, gesso, chipboard shapes and flowers.
Check out Henryka's blog for more close ups.





For this month challenge- I have made my first attempt at mixed media and I used my favourite colours- purple and pink. Also I used Prima All Star papers, cheesecloth, paints, acrylic paint, gears, chipboard, brads, flowers, stamps, washi tape, embossing with white and clear powder and rhinestones. 



I had fun with inks, embossing paste, stencils, stamps, die cuts and lots of blues!

Normally my favourite colour is purple, but this summer the neutral colours are appealing more to me!




So that's our Design Team's beautiful inspiration :) 

To see more photos and details on each of the projects, just visit our blogs! Why not give the challenge a go? 

We would love for you to join in our challenge, remember anything that encourages, motivates or promotes your creativity, if it has your favourite colours, we would LOVE to see it ;) Our challenges start the first Friday of the month, and end the last day of the month (so this month's deadline is Thursday 31st July)

We are pretty easy going about rules, but if you'd like, read this page.

Thanks for popping by, don't forget to come back mid month for more inspiration!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Crafting,
Michelle & Eithne :)
