March Colour Challenge ...

Hello, here we are with another Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge for March

Our challenge this month is to create a new project following the colour theme of Aqua and White and we have two fabulous prizes:   The first prize is from the Ribbon Girl - it is a lovely Aqua Ribbon Kit

and we are so lucky to have our friends over at Lili Of The Valley sponsoring our challenge with a fabulous £10 gift voucher to spend in the LOTV online store

As well as the actual prizes, the DT will choose the Top Three entries and they can display the 'I made top three at the Ribbon Girl' badge on their blog.  Before we show you the fabulous creations from the Ribbon Girl Design Team, we wanted to share this inspiration photograph - we would love some of that beautiful blue sea but sadly the North Sea is grey and cold up here in Newcastle, it's nice to dream though?

We are delighted to introduce  Pat Frank who lives in Richmond, Virginia, USA as our Guest Designer for this challenge

All About Pat:

I am "Gramma Pat" to 5 fabulous grandkiddos...4 girls and one boy...ranging in age from 5 to 13. I've been seriously card-making for just over two years.  I knit and crochet, a bit...but only make things that are flat...like blankets and throws! hehe! Anything that I have to piece together, forget it!! Oh...and I own TWO sewing machines...but can't remember how to thread them, let alone sew! But learning to sew is on my "to do" list since I love the look of stitching on cards!!    I worked as a Neonatal (NICU) Nurse and as an Educator/Consultant in nursing for 30+ years and now, thanks to my incredibly wonderful and supportive husband, I have just recently "retired" from nursing and am a SAHC!! (Stay at home CRAFTER!)

Favourite colour combination?   Pink and greenFavourite type of embellishment?  Ribbons and FlowersAre you tidy or messy?  I have my own craft room which is being re-decorated and I am definitely messy but that will improve once my new craft storage furniture is in place!How long have you been crafting for?  My whole life!Do you listen to music whilst you are crafting?  Smooth Jazz 24/7Pat's blog and her Etsy shop
