This week we would love to see a little ST.PATRICK'S DAY OR GREEN
Before we show you what the Inkette's ahve created for today's challenge I would love to give a big warm Inky welcome to HELEN
"I am 48 years old, married to my lovely hubby Steve and have three children (two are all grown up and flown the nest, leaving just my youngest daughter still at home). We live in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside in the UK and have a dog, a cat and rabbits. I had a life-changing event three years ago when I suffered a brain haemorrhage and that prompted me to totally re-prioritise my life. One of the main things that came out of this was to spend more time doing the things that make me happiest, and one of those things is crafting. I was taught to knit, crochet, sew and embroider by my mother and grandmother at an early age and have dabbled with them all over the years, but I am always drawn back to paper and card. I love the versatility of it and the huge possibilities there are to make things with it. My favourite is card-making and scrapbooking and I love messing about with die-cutting, dry embossing and my Promarkers."
and here is the beautiful projects Helen made for this week
