jac-inks Challenge #3

Hi stampers, and Welcome to

"jac-inks" Challenge #3

- our first INSPIRATION  challenge.

There are lots of beautiful countries in this world of ours and here in the Southern Hemisphere, we are finishing summer (so sad) and heading to Autumn. In fact today (as I'm writing this blog) is the last day of our Summer, so to ease ourselves away from this carefree time we thought a photo full of vibrant colours would be the way to go!  

You can find more beautiful photos of Hawaii at Hawaiipictures.com

Jenni is the host this week and she has chosen this idyllic photo that reflects a recent holiday in Hawaii. 

As it is the last of Summer here in Aussie land,  let's see how warm you can make us feel with your wonderful creations. 

Remember you do need to use a stamp somewhere on your entry

... and here is some further inspiration from our DT including our guest designer for this challenge:-
