Week 254 - Spring Blossoms


Good morning, Brenda here with a new challenge as well as a big thank you to everyone who joined in Helene's no flowers theme, we thought it may be a difficult one but clearly not and you really rose to the challenge with some fabolous entries.

So in contrast this week my theme is...................

********Spring Blossoms********

I probably say this every year but Spring really is one of my very favourite times of year when everything just bursts into colour as if my magic, isn't Nature wonderful ?

We have two lovely sponsors this week..................


Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none. Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel ? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it !


And we welcome for the first time Baker Ross who have a pretty collection of Spring ribbons and embellishments for one lucky winner.

Co-founded in 1974 by Patti Baker, Baker Ross is still a family owned and run business whose innovative ideas have led us to become one of the leading suppliers of arts & crafts to schools, playgroups and organisations in the UK. We employ over 80 dedicated and hard working staff located at our office and warehouse in Walthamstow, London.
Baker Ross has been importing and distributing arts and crafts, educational and fundraising products to schools, playgroups, charities etc. in the UK and abroad by mail order since it started, and now supply thousands of different organisations every year. We currently offer over 4,000 items through our website and catalogues. 
Now for some inspiration from the DT and a big thank you to all my talented fellow DT's for their beautiful creations for my theme, you are all stars...........................
