NEWS FLASH- ALLSORTS BIRTHDAY-DT NEWS

 Good morning all, today is a big day not only for 

ALLSORTS CHALLENGE

but for me

 I accepted an invitation to join the DT team I am thrilled to be part of such an amazing challenge blog and DT 


Today is the start of the celebrations the theme for this birthday week is anything 

HAPPY,  BRIGHT AND SUNNY

the prizes are awesome the main one being from

HEARTFELT CREATIONS


But it doesn't end there 
as it is a birthday celebration there are more prizes to be won from the following sponsors

We are also fortunate to have a lovely group of sponsors to whom we are most grateful, this week prize come from the following craft stores: Craft Stash, Chloes CardsTattered LaceCrafting.co.ukSizzix and Bee Crafty.

Here is my DT card following the theme
Happy, Bright and Sunny
I will be using the abbreviated name that my friends call me which is Lolo.


I have used a stamp set that I won many years ago from Raisin Boat they have been a favourite of mine and I have used them quite a few times, I stamped the flowers several times then cut them out and coloured them with Nuvo markers, the papers are Bearly Mine all have been mounted onto Lynda Chapmans black card stock, I also added a stamped sentiment a die cut butterfly and triple Organza pink bow.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges that I will link up a little later in the day as this post is scheduled

Finally I would like to share a picture of my mum and one of my brothers that I took this week, she had just had her hair done and looked extra beautiful, the lady from Adult Services visited and met my mum for the first time she couldn't believe that she is 101 years young 

I hope that you will come and join our celebrations at
a big thank you to all who visit me and leave me a comment I am so happy that you enjoy my work
hugs

Congratulations on your new DT position Lorraine / Lolo :)

Your card is super, so bright and colourful. Your butterfly die is so pretty and intricate.

I love the picture of your Mum with her new hairdo and she looks so happy with the visit from your brother. My husbands Gran was 102 when she passed away and was in good health and feisty spirit until she had a fall. They think she had a stroke but until that point she was in almost perfect health. She would not tell anyone her real age as she didn't want them to think she was old. I think that generation who had seen so much were made of a lot sterner stuff.

Best Wishes
