HI all... I hope you all had a wonderfull weekend!!  It is time for a New Challenge over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog....this week is Mothers day cards, or a card for a special lady... 
Exciting NEW NEWS......Squigglefly has two new artists this month - Niina Niskanen and James Horvath.
For my card I  have used SQUIGGLEFLY image: SPRING BOUQUET CUP by Pamela Lehto

 

I have been wanting to tryout this sunburst type card for a while now,

so I re-watched a tutorial over on you-tube. I have used a SU sentiment, and added 3 skittles from DoubleClick Connections.  (these are from her new color release-you can find her skittles HERE--aren't they gorgeous!!)

Hope you get the chance to join us!

Guess What? I've been published again....

I am so excited to say that I was asked by Holly Young of Squigglefly to make a masculine card for the upcoming article in Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine. My card is in issue #123 which will be out in the newstands on April 24th, 2014.
I have used a new set of Squigglefly images called: FLYING HIGH by Judith Hart. This new set comes with the image and several different sentiments!

Unfortunately they did not show the inside of the card in the magazine....where the rest of the awesome sentiment was...so it kind leaves you hangin'....

I am not going to leave you all hangin' though....here is the inside of my card, that you won't get to see in the magazine.
