Where Flowers Bloom So Does Hope!


























Good morning friends, I hope you are all staying well and safe in these unpredictable times, we all need some kind of release whether it's crafting, cooking or catching up with box sets.  If it's some crafting you want then hopefully these can take your mind of things for a bit.
Here's our new challenges for for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Say It With Flowers'.  Dora our Teamie at Stamping Sensations draws and creates her own Digi images, this image is one of hers and was a joy to colour, using Spectrum Noirs.  I added a sentiment from Apple Blossom.  The background I created using Distress oxides then stamped an Apple Blossom butterfly over the background.

We have sponsorship this Month from

A new look blog Tracy!!

Two super cards as always, the PB hedgie is very sweet and a nice design, but the beautiful Tulips are my favourite and a lovely sentiment as well - is that the reference to Apple Blossom in tour list?
