Now it is time to start our NEW CHALLENGE at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE and it is THROW ON THOSE FLOWERS, so do just that - we want to see flowers on your creation, whatever way you wish, just make sure we can see those flowers!! Remember, our challenge will run 2 weeks, so every other Wednesday night/Thursday morning (8pm EST on April 11 or 8am April 12 in West Indonesia), depending on what area of the globe you live, there will be a NEW Challenge. You can use any images, stamps, etc. that you like as long as your challenge creation is NEW (no backlinking to previously made work) and follows our theme. You do not have to use images from MILKCOFFEE SHOP, but if you do, you will receive extra points for when we pick our winner using random.org (2 points for each creation using image from MILKCOFFEE SHOP, otherwise 1 point per creation).

Our AMAZING Challenge DT Members have created some beauties for your inspiration today using images from our newest collections at MILKCOFFEE SHOP. If you have a chance, I’m certain the girls would love a visit to their individual blogs.
For my creation today, I have used MILKCOFFEE SHOP image “Little Lady.” I love this sweet image and I had such fun coloring her with my Copics. I added daubed edges after cutting with Nesties. Stitched ribbon from Michael’s, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, sentiment from Just Rite Stampers, bling from Darice, sentiment cut with Nesties as is scalloped square. DP from First Edition, and CS from Bazzill. Hope you like it.

PEARLS AND SWIRLS AS THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE GOES WEEKLY!!
Do you ever have one of those weeks where no matter how hard you try, you just can’t move forward?!? I feel like I am having one of those! First my car needs a new tire yesterday, and of course, it couldn’t have been a simple fix – had to wait for them to take off the tire and then tell me it wasn’t fixable – nail went in at an angle and too close to tire rim, so had to get a new tire. Tires on my car are not normally stocked by tire place, so they had to order it, which meant I went home and waited for them to call me, then had to go back for them to put tire on. It’s all good now, but then hubby calls this morning that his transmission isn’t working and he needs me to take him to rental car place – argh!
Ok, deep breaths, and moving on… EXCITING news today at THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE CHALLENGE – we are going WEEKLY!! That’s right, a NEW CHALLENGE every Tuesday, woo hoo!!

You will also get an extra entry for each layout submitted.
For my card today, I used the adorable “Princess Gwendolyn” from THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE. I colored her with Copics and cut using Lifestyle Crafts dies. I chose papers from Making Memories, ribbon from Michael’s, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, sentiment from My Craft Spot cut with Memory Box die, and pearl flourishes from Prima. I sure hop you like it!! Also, hope you will come play along
