The Ribbon Girl Blog: August Card Challenge...

Hello everyone here we are again with our monthly Card Challenge - this month it's an easy peasy 'Anything But A Square' challenge. The Design Team, plus this weeks lovely guest Tracy Payne have created some beautiful cards to inspire you, remember that all the products listed after the projects can be found in The Ribbon Girl online store and there are more details about each project on the Design Team's individual blogs.

(Also, to celebrate The Ribbon Girl's 4th birthday there is a nice giveaway on our Facebook page which is open until Tuesday evening)

As usual our card Challenge is sponsored by our lovely friends at Lili Of The Valley and The Ribbon Girl

This challenge will run for 1 week and closes at 9PM UK time on Saturday 9th August. Our usual rules apply - create a new card that follows the theme - ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE (please no backlinking to old projects), blog about it mentioning this challenge then leave a link using the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post. The prize will be redrawn if the winner does not claim it after 1 week of the winner being identified on this blog

Our Design Team will be taking a well earned break over the next couple of weeks so there won't be another challenge until August 31st
