Your Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

Its that day of the week that we all look forward to the most, seeing how we have all interpreted this weeks challenge, I say it every week but I will say it again, it never ceases to amaze me how you all make such unique, amazing cards that are so different even though we are all working to the same rules and for the most part we all have very similar products.

I think Spring is a the very best Season, full of life and colour, bringing us the start of the better weather and longer days.  Our gardens are starting to spring into life, the first bursts of colour beginning to appear. 

Let's see your cards.........

 Brenda

Such a pretty Spring card Brenda, I love the stamp you have used, I particularly like how the daffodils fall out of the box, you have coloured it beautifully too.

Thank you so much for taking part.

A huge thank you Cheryl for 3 amazing Spring cards.

Lilian, WOW!  You too have got your card making 'mojo' well and truly back, you have designed 3 absolutely stunning Spring themed cards for this weeks Challenge.

Snowdrops and Crocus are the first flowers that bring splashes of colour to the garden that is looking fairly dull after winter, your cards really bring that same happiness inside too, they would brighten anyone's mantlepiece! 

Thank you so very much for 3 stunning challenge cards.

"I used the Diesire creat a card delicate Butterfly cut it again then cut butterfly's off & put Pixie powders on them & glued them onto the white butterfly's Then I did a strip of Pixie powder down the other side stamped Chloe's butterfly stamp & cut it out with matching Die."

Thank you so much Lynda, you put so much work into every card you make and it really shows.

Margaret

Margaret such a lovely challenge card, Paul and I both noticed how lovely it was to hear all of the different birds songs in the garden the other day, its so peaceful, we are lucky as there are plenty of bird nesting boxes around this house and garden and lots of very mature trees for them to nest in, we are looking forward to watching them as they gather things to build their nests.  

Thank you for such a lovely challenge card.

You are all amazing, there's no other way to say it, just look at this amazing display of cards, Janet will be thrilled to look at these today.  

I hope that you all have a lovely relaxing day, whether you are a Mum or not, it is Sunday after all, 

my Ikea treat is going to be a trip to Ikea, (not sure if that's a good idea or not)!

Then Becca is going to cook us Roast Beef and Yorkshire puddings, oh I can't wait, I wonder if she will clean up too?? maybe with the help of the others.  Either way it will be a nice treat.

What do you all have planned?

Sending love and hugs to all of you,

Love and hugs,

Sandra
