Well another fortnight has passed - I can't believe how fast this year is going.  I'm sorry my post is late - I am having problems with blogger including the fact that for some reason it won't llow me to comment on people's beautiful ards so I'm not sure how I am going to get this fixed. But rest assured I look at all the entries into the challenge and they are all just great.
So onto this eeks challenge.

Our theme for this week is RED, WHITE & BLUE AND/OR A SUMMER THEME..OR BOTH!! Whichever you'd like to work with, and whatever project you'd like to enter!! Can't wait to see what you end up entering!!!

Our sponsor for the first part of our challenge is LIMITED RUNS!!

We love to have Limited Runs with us and her adorable images...especially those yummy cupcakes! Anyways, our winner will win 3 Digital images of winners choice from Limited Runs, so lets learn a little bit about them....
When I started creating christmas cards for my friends I didn't realize how addictive it could be and it's slowly been getting larger. We all start somewhere and it's been growing.Creating Digi's just happened to be a blend of using my drawing and computer graphix together to create "Limited Runs"which is my digital stamp store. I've also started Freebie Fridays and will be doing this for a Limited time too. Each may be posted from 1 day to ??? (Limited Time Offer) May you all enjoy my digi's as much as I love to make them. So if your looking for some YUMMY cupcakes I've got over 70 Varieties to choose from and lots more with more always in the works Don't worry there are also others available too from Cute to a little scary pop by and you'll see what I mean!!! and Occassional Large seasonal Digi's for those who scrapbook digi's that are 8 By 8 Inches too these will pop up from time to time and be limited runs too

I have been trying to use my Spellbinders for my cards lately as I have sooo many of them and I really want to make use of them as they are quite expensive.  I am also hoping to make all of my Xmas cards with them so need the practice LOL.  So here is my card;

I'm afraid the pictures aren't great so don't show the vibrancy of the papers.  Everything I have used is from my stash.  I think the papers are Bo Bunny and for me nothing says summer like sunflowers!  The butterflies and insert are Spellbinders dies and I have added some distress inks, some beautiful olive green ribbon to pick out the green in the papers, a couple of hatpins and a gem swirl underneath.  There are alos a couple of Spellbinders swirls in brown underneath too and the little leaves in top left are also dies.
My husband really liked this card so I was pleased with it too ;o)
Hope you will join us in our challenge this week.
