Heck Of A New Challenge for Feb

WOW can you believe its February already! I'll be back later with the winner of my blogaversary candy but first it's time for a new challenge at

HECK OF A CHALLENGE

and the only thing it could be in Feb is of course

Love and Flowers

I hope you all get both this month and every month!
 Now I'm not very happy with this card and I can't put my finger on why!! I love the cute image from Mo Manning (this stamp was a present from my lovely ladybug teammie Diane), I love the Echo Park papers, the WOC flowers and I love the sentiment and die cut cloud from Magnolia but together its not rocking my boat!! I guess you can't win 'em' all!
Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of this challenge and some much more spectacular creations (especially from Kevin)

Don't forget to visit our challenge sponsor

or their 'bricks and mortar' sister shop

Craft and Hobby Store, Heckmondwike

to pick up some great bargains!
By Heck you'd be mad not to!

I'll be back in a jiffy 
(when I've done the random thingy) 
with the winner of my candy

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Sassy - Love Is In The Air
Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with Ribbon

Kathleen said...

Really lovely card, fabulous image and another great flower display, I have given most of my flowers of this type away as I just can't do it.
Brilliant colouring and I do love orange.
How do you know if they are just candy grabbers?
Hope things are good with you and you are making the most of the out of season time.

Fabbie card Laurie... (well what else do I expect!), love the image and your layout... and particularly how you've put the sentiment in the cloud - which looks so right for the dreamy image! Don't know why you're not happy with it!

Hope you're well....

Lisa Minckler said...

Hi Laurie :)
Thanks so much for the mustache card comment! Those are a cutting file from the Silhouette Studio cut out in white cardstock and then painted with black acrylic. Glad you liked it...it was a hoot.
Hugs and you have a terrific weekend!

Hi Laurie, oooh no I must be visiting your blog too much - you've caught Sarahitis (the main symptom of which is a dislike of any crafty thing you've made).

As far as I know the only known cure is to give all your crafty stash away the person you caught it from!

Hmmm, now I wonder did I get away with that????

Seriously though, fab card - as yours always are. Your colour choices, layouts and colouring are always spot on.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Sarah

Sue B said...
