Moving Along with Handmade flowers

Good morning my lovely fellow bloggers, I think I'm back in a routine and I actually made a card! I was a bit late as I seem to have got all confused and lost a day this week and I had to photograph it at night which is never a good thing with a flash! If you think I don't know what I'm talking about there is a good chance that I retook the photo this morning!

Its time for a brand new challenge over at
 and this week our lovely Pami 
(who I'm going to meet very soon) has chosen the theme 
 Handmade Flowers
 Now Pam is a bit of a whiz at handmade flowers and churns them out faster than interflora, but as all of mine come from Wild Orchid Crafts it was a bit more of a challenge for me!

I used my poinsettia die from Magnolia Doo Hickey and blue glitter card from DCWV, a Martha Stewart border punch and I coloured the super image from LOTV with Copics which are available from Stamping Scrapping Central

Our fab sponsors this week is LOTV and they are offering the lucky winner this fabulous prize
They also have a new release of Christmas stamps due out next week,  check their online store  HERE

Don't forget to check out the main MAWTT challenge blog for all the details of this challenge, to see if you were a winner last week and to see what my gorgeous girls have made for your inspiration this week.

I just like to add another massive thank you to everyone for the good wishes, cards and presents I received for my birthday, I really was overwhelmed by your kindness and a very warm hello to all my new followers, I will get round to visiting you all eventually! I'll be back soon with the winner of my Birthday Candy.

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Cindy said...

This is a really cute card (I love LOTV) but unfortunately you must mention a product that can be purchased at StampingScrapping.com which is a requirement of the challenge. Please join us again for our next challenge on September 12.

Cindy said...

Laurie: our sponsor has required: "Remember, you must mention the item(s) used in your project that can be found at Stamping Scrapping." She does not require that you link to the item or the blog, that would just be icing on the cake. This information can be found at the top of the challenge blog. I'm glad you're enjoying my digis, I love doing them. There are lots more on my blog if you search previous posts. If you change your post, you will be eligible for the prize cuz this card rocks.
