Fortnightly Challenge 60

Hi everybody and welcome to our latest Fortnightly Challenge. 

We have two lovely sponsors as usual for this challenge.

Our Randomly Selected Winner's prize is sponsored by the lovely

Little Miss Muffet - the shop can be found HERE
and the blog can be found HERE
who are providing our lucky winner with
3 images of their choice from the web-store.

"Howdy from Little Miss Muffet Stamps! This little shoppe was inspired by a house full of Little Miss Muffets and arachnophobes alike. It isn't too difficult to imagine how I ended up here since I've been drawing and coloring from the moment I picked up a crayon. Now as I sit in my hobby room I get to share my passion with my own Little Miss Muffets who love to work along side of me. Now I'm excited to share creations from two additional artists... Pollycraft by Paula and introducing Simply Sophia!! With our three unique styles there is something you are sure to enjoy!"

Our Forever Friends Favourite's prize is sponsored by the lovely
who are providing our lucky winner with
a $10.00 voucher to spend at their web-store.

The theme of our challenge is to
USE LOTS OF FLOWERS


We were joined for this challenge by Guest Designer Katie, who won the Forever Friends Favourite spot in a previous challenge.
