There are 3 rules to the challenge:

1. use colors from the picture

Guest Designer

Kate Wiles of Down Right Crafty

Hi I am Kate Wiles, I live in New Waltham, near Cleethorpes, on the East Coast of the United Kingdom at the mouth of the River Humber, with my husband, eldest son and my beautiful dog Star.

I suppose I have crafted since the age of about 8. Starting knitting with my mum and grandma, then crocheting and from there to cake decorating, flower arranging and making ballgowns. I had a spell with the husband decorating the house windows and in October 2008 when the husband took up fishing I decided I needed to find a new hobby to keep me occupied. I chose card making, which rapidly turned into attending scrap book classes at a local shop. I attended some card classes learning lots of techniques and became addicted to stamping, altered art and scrapbooking. I am also now I suppose addicted to blog challenges.

My small box of tricks grew to taking over a full corner of the lounge, at which point my husband very kindly converted one of my unused bedrooms into my very own craft room. This was christened the "Beach Hut" due to its sand, sea and beach hut colours. I spend many an hour in there enjoying myself.

I am so excited to have been chosen for the challenge 44 Guest Designer and hope you all enjoy the challenge. I know I did.
