Ink4U Blog Hop

If you have just come from the amazing Lisa Eisner welcome, if you are just starting the blog hop welcome to Yvonne's Creative Corner.  I am proud to be apart of this amazing group of talented designers and members of INKspirations 4U.  to enter this blog hop we had to pick a tutorial from the many different classes that have been held and recreate it for the blog hop.

The wonderful Madeline Morcelo has a new upgraded Ink 4U website and what's more it is FREE to join just pop over to www.ink4uthestudio.ning.com.  This is the new and improved INKspirations website where you can join different events first event starting July 2012.  There are sections for photos, My Page, Groups, Events the list goes on and the fantastic thing you can join for FREE.  

There is a challenge running until May 19th so pop on over and have a look at what is going on.  It is going to be an amazing site to relax and enjoy and of course HAVE FUN!!!

Now onto what I have made for the Blog Hop.  It was very hard to choose what to make because all of the designers do a fantastic job with there projects and it makes it all that bit harder to choose a project to re-create.  

  

I have made the "Mixed Bunch Accordion File" from the INKspirations 4U Celebrating U! 2012 Edition.

I had so much fun making this now just to think what to put inside cards, photo mats the list is endless, if you would like to re create something like this then join www.ink4uthestudio.ning.com remember that it is free to join the site.

Now that you have seen what I have re-created for the blog hop it's onto the amazingly talented Madeline Morcelo to see what wonderful project Madeline has chosen to re-create.
