Well I'm here with my DT post and to be honest I didn't think I was going to make this challenge! Never has a challenge given me as much trouble as this one (except for my next LCI card) I was already to throw in the towel and call it a day forever!.
Then I was visiting our GDT Leesa the other day she had made a mini card (check it out HERE) and I knew that was the answer to my problem! So off I zoomed to the Mistress of The Mini Makes, Mary J for a little more inspiration and I was saved!! Hallelujah!!

Without further ado its time for another challenge at
and my dear friend Debs is the hostess and she wants us to
HAVE A HEART
So lets see some love in your creations
My very first mini card and I can assure you it will not be my last!
I love Mini cards now! It even has an inside
This was so quick to make (if you don't count the 2 hours I was looking for the yellow spotty paper!) The little bee was kindly given to us to use by this weeks sponsor
and the flowers are a MFT die with yellow brads in the centres.
Head over to the main MAWTT blog to check out all the details of this weeks challenge, last weeks winners, what you can win this week and some fabulous inspiration from my gorgeous Teammies.
Thanks for stopping by today

Hi Hon
Well this mini card was well worth all the head-scratching.... it's FAB! And what a wonderful idea!! Think i'll be trying some of those too! I know what you mean about spending a couple of hours trying to find just what you know is there somewhere and you NEED right now... LOL.... that yellow dotty paper is fab!
Why don't you put your card in the Anything Goes Challenge (where I'm a new DT member - yayyyyyyy!) - this week it's To the one I love - and you still have a few days to go to enter.
Looking forward to seeing you next week! Will have to give Lisa a poke to make sure we have something arranged.
Take care
Hugs

This is gorgeous, such a fun card. Love the colours and the image....
I love this wee mini card and of course the colour too. I love yellow. I had a right old giggle at your comment on the card for my brother when you said you were blaming my parents for not giving me more siblings.....Im the eldest of 5 kids! And dont tempt my parents....they'd have another one in a heart beat if they could, lol. The youngest is only 11 and he was a big big enough surprise so Im happy enough with the 4 siblings, lol. I'll be 32 (ahhhhhhh!) on the 17th of Feb which means between the eldest (me) and the youngest there is 21 years difference!! Strangers think he's my son! Lee x
It's a gorgeous wee card, fabulous! Lisa xxx

Oh me oh my! I am late visiting this week and I am really so sorry :( This is absolutely amazing! I am so amazed that I inspired you tried out the mini card (I don't think I have ever done that before :$ as for your addition to mini cards hmm :$ Guilty as charged and I think you and I can start a club as I am so in love with them too!) I love the black, white and yellow combo you have used too, it is all so clean and refreshing. Thank you again for letting me play along with you and the girls at MAWTT, I really have had a fabulous time :)
Oh my goodness, your card just gave me the biggest smile. I love the bright colors and that bee is the cutest. Love that yellow dotty paper. So glad you found it because it is perfect.
