Thank You.....Teacher

Good morning, and here's to another sunny day!  Unbelievable weather for this time of year, and we're enjoying every minute of it.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Charisma Cardz, and hopefully you will take the time to enjoy the wonderful creations that the DT has to share.

My card today uses an older image from Stamp Fairy, one of our sponsors.  Only after I'd coloured it up did I realize...oh no...he's holding a flower, so I decided to add a sticker and now he's holding a lollipop.  Perfect for my grandson to give to his JK teacher!  Yes, summer is nearly here and school will soon be finished.

Our sponsor this week is

 

and our challenge theme  is 'NO FLOWERS ALLOWED.'

Here's hoping you can tear yourself away from your garden for a little bit of crafty time, but remember...no flowers.

  5. Such a sweet card Joyce, love the blues and bling.
    We have been basking in sunshine this week, the temperatures have got up into the 30s, we go from the sublime to the ridiculous haha. I have been able to get out in the garden though.
    Hope you are well.
