Party Time Tuesday Sponsor: Flowers

">

It seems like the cold weather is behind us here in Missouri and spring is upon us. My tulips are in full bloom and gorgeous, the grass is turning green, and the trees not looking so bare. This week Party Time Tuesdays has graciously asked us to sponsor their challenge and they are getting into Spring also with their theme of flowers. We here at The Stamping Boutique have lots of great images in the store perfect for all your spring cards using flowers, you can check them out HERE.

The design teams for both Party Time Tuesdays and The Stamping Boutique have created a variety of wonderful projects to help give you some ideas to build up your stash before the busy summer months are upon us! We would love to have you play along, there is always a nice little prize up for grabs!
