JUNE/JULY CANDI CHALLENGE

First of all I would like to make my apology for the lateness in posting this month's challenge, I have been on holiday in sunny Suffolk - to a beautiful place that was supposed to have internet access and I had every intention of posting on Monday 15th but it was a futile attempt as the internet service was beyond a joke.

Aptly though the theme for this month's challenge is .......

SUMMER HOLIDAY

The challenge will run from today until 14th July when the winner will be announced

and will be supplied with a hamper of flowers

and one of our very own "I'm  a winner" blinkies to add and show off on your blog!!

Thanks for stopping by today - I just wanted to say that you still have a couple of weeks to enter this month's challenge to win a hamper of our fabulous Sweet Lilac  flowers

The theme this month is vintage and you can go to the challenge post here 

and here is an extra inspirational piece by Jo Rice (click on the link to take you to Jo's blog) 

I love the arrangement she has done with our flowers and leaves here.

INTRODUCTION

If you're looking for our current challenge of Vintage which runs until June 14th - you will find it here.  Have you done your piece yet and want to link it?  Will you be taking part this month?  Looking for further inspiration? - read on

But if you're reading this and wondering who the ....  .is that daft woman in the picture - well let me introduce myself - Linda Page - and I have been invited to become the blog administrator for this blog challenge - a task I shall take great pleasure in!   I have added a link to my personal blog on the design team page of this blog.

If you are lucky enough to live near Crafts 4 U 2 Do - the bricks and mortar home of Sweet Lilac flowers then you may know me as a regular demonstrator for Crafters Companion.

I may pop up from time to time with inspirational posts from myself but I wanted to also let you know that I have added another gallery to the sidebar of the blog featuring further pieces from our design team - these are not necessarily following any particular theme just pieces that they have created using Sweet Lilac Flowers and that they have been kind enough to share with you all.  Hopefully I will be adding further pictures as time progresses.  

I am looking forward to seeing all your fabulous makes.

Bye for now
