JAI690 just add a fancy fold - 100th birthday faux centre step

Hello and welcome! Today's project is for an amazing milestone birthday celebrated by a friend of a friend this week and this week's Just Add Ink Fancy Fold challenge. And you all know I love a fun fancy fold.
 

The card request was to include two of the recipient's favourite things - reading and animals. I included the Scottie dogs from the Christmas Scottie stamp set (sadly retired), the stack of books image from the Bird's Eye View stamp set, and a pretty blue floral print from the Countryside Inn paper pack (which also has some animals on it). I also made a bookmark which you'll see below.
Here's how the card turned out.

 

JAI 689 colour challenge - hot air balloon birthday

Hello and welcome. It's colour challenge week at Just Add Ink, and we're using a bold combination of Gorgeous Grape and Tahitian Tide with white. I love both separately but can't say I've combined them until now. I've used them with the Hot Air Balloon stamps and dies bundle to create a bright birthday card. Here's how it turned out. Tell me what you think.

Hello and welcome to a project share using the new Beach Day stamp and die bundle. This is my team project for this week's Just Add Ink sketch challenge.
Australia loves a great beach - and we're lucky to have so many of them - so this bundle was a must have buy for me. Here's how my beachy card turned out.
