A very good morning to everyone, it's certainly warmed up a bit here - I hope it has in your corner of the world, though I had to go to work yesterday and it took me about 4 hours to warm up when I got home!
While I was away in Yorkshire the temperature at home apparently hit -15 degrees in Sunny Hunny!
It's time for a fabulous new challenge today at
and before I go into details I'd like to thank everyone who joined us for the last challenge, we had some gorgeous work and I'm glad I didn't have to pick the winners from them!
This week is a wee bit special as most of you already know, we have a brand new release and so secret have these images been, no one on the DT has seen each others cards!
And normal for a new release we are celebrating with a BLOG HOP and some fabulous prizes are up for grabs! First lets get the details of this weeks challenge and the lovely Lisa has set this theme of
SPRING IS IN THE AIR
and the new release images are just gorgeous! Well mine is ( I have to go and look at all the others yet!) They are called Floral Delights and are the sort of images you can use and use and use!
It doesn't show in this photo but I have gone over all the stems in green and the fabby glass bowl has been glossy accented! I've been itching to use some Kraft card for ages and I punched my tiny tag out of that too. My gorgeous little ladybug is from Sir Stampalot and they will be appearing on plenty of my cards from now on!
And a little peek inside..
Remember you don't have to use an LCI image to join in with the challenge but we sure love it when you do!
