Week #114 - 'Beautifully Shaped'


Hello shabby friends and welcome to another fun week of inspiration and creativity here in the Tea Room!  This week Lenet is our wonderful host and she has chosen the theme of 'Beautifully Shaped' along with this gorgeous photo for inspiration and Lenet asks that you create a SHAPED card or project that is also inspired by THE COLORS IN THE PHOTO!  This week we're looking for 'shaped' cards or projects -- NO squares or rectangles this week, please!

Thanks for your understanding and participation!

I am pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, Jinny Newlin - Soaring!  Jinny earned this Guest Designer spot for her win in the Tea Room during the Week #103 challenge - 'Shabby Shutters'. 



And some more beautiful inspiration from our May Special MONTH-LONG Guest Designer ...
