A great big hello to all our TIOT followers. 

Those were some great entries for our "So very British challenge. It will be a hard choice once again for our top 5 which we will bring to you next week. This weeks challenge is once again "Anything goes" We just love seeing all the wonderful entries you all come up with for this theme. 

This week we have a wonderful Guest Designer joining us...

Please welcome Viv

Hi!  I took up card making over 10 years ago and combine my love of paper crafting with a passion for tracing my ancestry, playing lawn bowls and following my beloved Liverpool Football Club!

I have also ventured into the world of Artist Trading Cards, Mixed Media and Altered Art, and have no problem getting messy with inks and glue.

 I  am lucky enough to have a very supportive husband and have made many wonderful friends through crafting.

There are so many talented people out here in blogland providing inspiration and I feel part of one huge family!

I am delighted to have been asked to be Guest Designer here at TIOT.

Viv has created this wonderful Exploding box for us this fortnight. Isn't it just fab!

To find out more about Viv and her work you can visit her blog here. 

Now onto some more wonderful inspirations from the rest of the design team....
