Flower Power

Please click here for my Birthday Candy and here for the Crafty Sentiments Blog Hop.

Hello everyone, another sunny day here today, 28C .. quite hot ... looks like it won't be long before we'll be heading to the beach! Today I have my DT Card for the new challenge at Sweet Stampin and the theme for this week is FLOWER POWER.
I decided to use one of my LOTV stamps for this card, one that I hadn't yet inked .. how could I?!! :[

Well I'm so happy I used it today, I loved how it turned out, a very quick card it was too and perfect for a Mother's Day card which I needed. 
Image I coloured it with my promarkers, paper was a magazine freebie, corner die is Cheery Lynn and centre one is Spellbinders Nestabilities.

A close up of my butterfly.. its' one of those Dimensions stickers from Anita's, so pretty I think.

We are this week sponsored by My Favourite Things who are offering a fab $25 gift certificate and we also have our fabulous monthly sponsor, Joanna Sheen with another great voucher of £10 to spend in the store.
      


I thought I would take this opportunity to post a photo of me with Pamela, also a DT girlie at Sweet Stampin, who is in Malta at the moment for a holiday with her husband. We met last Tuesday for dinner and again yesterday for a coffee and a quick visit to my place.... My hubby came too for dinner (he's taking the photo) and we all had so much to talk about. It was lovely to meet up, will be remembering this time and looking forward to their next holiday on the island, when they come again.. I think they will  :D  

Some challenges now of course yay :D
