SCD TWINCHIE CHALLENGE



Another twinchie challenge over at S C D as they celebrate their birthday month...wish I could have a birthday with a month of celebrations...lol.


This weeks challenge is flowers and as I was walking past my crafting/dining table on the way to do a bit of gardening I was distracted by this pretty face and before I knew it the gardening was out the window and as I can't get my mower to work I thought I would do the challenge... well you can't blame me, can you?


The image is a fab freebie from Blanco... H E R E


Have a great Saturday evening the weather here is wonderful.

The image is from Lisa's Altered Art (See link in side bar) and the background is my own work... I feel a little tute coming on as to how I did it....
IF I can stop getting butterflys in my belly at the thought of it.
The stamps are from Fiskars which I won a while back.
