Day 63 - Floral Fest

I've got several things to cover today. So let's get started~

First, let's announce a winner of that end-of-the-month prize:

Congratulations...............


Debbie Stelton!!!!!!!!!!!!



You've won:


50 sheets of 12x12 Sierra Pacific card stock in a variety of colors
1 set of chipboard alphas and numbers from Colorbök
Rhinestones from Kaiser Scrapbook

Please send me your address and I'll get your prize mailed off to you!

Today we have another talented guest designer. I would like to introduce you to


Leah Cornelius


I am Leah Cornelius and am a blessed wife of almost 10 years and a stay at home mom to two little ones. I have always had a love affair with paper and all things pretty, so when I discovered scrapbooking and papercrafting 4 years ago I was hooked. I also crochet and decided to turn that art form into a little business. I have an Etsy shop called Paper Blooms that sells my handmade crochet blooms. The shop can be found here: http://paperblooms.etsy.com. I love this hobby and it has become my passion. I love the process of creating and then often times being able to give my creations away to make someone else's day a bit brighter.


Today's challenge is to include 8 flowers on your card. Not only did Leah create a beautiful card, she managed to incorporate her very own handmade blossoms. Check it out:




And DT member Vicky also has a card to share with us:



I love how you both used such lovely Spring colors - very pretty cards for this challenge!
If you would like to see more of Leah's work, hop on over to her blog Paper Blossoms.
BTW - thanks for all the excellent suggestions so far for my May card kit. You still have today and tomorrow to throw some ideas my way, and possibly win a mini card kit!
Now it's time for you to join the floral fest~
