**NEW CHALLENGE** A little bit Crafty!!

Good Morning everyone
I hope you all enjoying a nice Easter weekend . We have been lucky enough to see the sunshine for a couple of days, it makes so much difference even if it is still cold.


Well its the first of April and a very exciting day as it is the start of a new monthly challenge

This is run the wonderful and talented Paula. She has lined up some amazing sponsors giving really great prizes to the lucky winners.  I really feel so honoured to be a part of her new design team
The first challenge couldn't be easier


Anything Goes

We have 3 wonderful sponsors for this challenge :

My mum's craft shop £10 voucher
Lacy Sunshine stamps $20 voucher 





The design team were given the opportunity to choose an image from Lacy Sunshine, one of our sponsors.
I picked Lizabeth Wild Daffodil as daffodils are one of my favourite Spring flowers and made a twisted easel card.


Close up of the gorgeous image

Items Used:
Digi stamp -  Lacy Sunshine  Lizabeth Wild Daffodil coloured with Promarkers 
Papers - Prima Alla Prima
Sentiment - Forever Friends ( I think!)
Memory Box Fabulous Phlox available at MCH

You can see the amazing creations made by the rest of the design team over at A Little Bit Crafty Challenge.
I hope lots of you will be able to join us this time.



I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:

Lacy Sunshine - Anything Goes
