Hello all! I'm sorry it's been so quiet around here lately (more than a week without posting - unheard of!)... and I know I haven't even drawn my Giveaway Winner yet - soon, soon, I promise!
Life's been a little distracting, but I've got a gentle week coming up so I'm hoping to get back to the craft table as well as to a little bit of visiting around Craftyblogland.
For now though, I'm offering up a sneak peek which I hope will tempt you over to the all new Calico Craft Parts blog. Yes, as well as the lovely new designs available from Calico Craft Parts, the Design Team are all back together and the inspiration is flowing at the new blog - so do hop over and check out the projects appearing there.
I've got a trio of floral cards for you today. Yes, I know... cards. That really doesn't happen very often, so make the most of it!
I hope you'll have time to pop over and take a look, and I'll be around and about again very soon.
May your life be like a wildflower growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day.

If they don't mind hopping over to see them, I'd love to enter this in Mixed Media Monthly's challenge May Flowers - how could anybody not be inspired by the flowers of May?!
Hi Alison, good to see your post and enjoyed seeing your three fabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteI love how relatively CAS they are, the MDF flowers being the focal point.
Beautiful colour palette as always and wondering if the tree bark is real or not...
Enjoy your quiet week and all the resting/crafting you can fit in. So good to see you back!
