At last the sun!!

Hello blogworld,

At last, something seems to have worked and we now have had a day's worth of sun!!  Maybe, finally, all the summery challenges have worked their magic and speaking of summery challenges - that's the reason I'm here.  It's a new challenge over at Dream Valley Challenges and the theme this fortnight is 'Summer'.

Our sponsor this time is the fab Squiggle Stamps, so why not pop on over to the blog take a look-see at my teamies wonderful work, a peek at the prize and pop an entry in while you are there.

And to get you thinking, this is what I came up with - the final 'Thank you' card from Emily.  This one went to one of her Teaching Assistants.  I thought it was appropriate for the challenge as it's the start of summer kind of occasion, she's holding a Sunflower and there are butterflies in the paper!  Hope you agree!!

I used:

Dies:

Memory Box - Picket Fence
Die-namics - Decorative Doily

Papers:
