Michelle!!

Well Done Michelle - such a cute watering can! Please contact Caz using the address in our side bar. Thanks to everyone that took the time to enter - we really love coming to visit!

Ok! So onto this month! Well, as we said at the start, there are changes this month! We are so pleased to say that our DT member, Katy is back to join us! Hope you are as inspired by her work as we are.

We have also changed the stamps that you can use in the challenges, as The Paperlane stocks so many! So in addition to the wonderful Molly Blooms, you can also use Magnolias too! The rules have changed slightly - please have a look at the side bar for further details.

The theme this month, set by our wonderful Katy is "Glitz & Sparkle" so grab your glitter, your spica pens, anything that'll bling up your entries! The winner will be chosen by random, but they will be able to win 4 Copic Ciao Pens of their own choice!

Hopped off!!!

Are you looking for the little blue frog?
Slight technical hitch, hes hopped off for a day in the sun! Kerry says he will return tonight, i guess that depends on whether he finds a princess to kiss and turns into a handsome prince!

**EDIT** The blue frog is back! Without a princess sadly!

Enjoy the Challenge! Kx

Going Live Tomorrow at 8am!

Thanks so much everyone for waiting patiently! Tomorrow is the day when the challenge goes live, and you can enter!
