SUNSHINE AT "FOR YOUR INSPIRATION" , AND 3 YEARS OF BLOGGING!

Hello my wonderful bloggers - I hope you are all having a happy week, and some warm  sunshine.
*******  
At the FYI CHALLENGE we have loads of  sunshine to share with you - just take a look at this  fortnight's inspiration picture!  (SUNGLASSES ALERT)!!
You can interpret the picture in any way you wish, and we would love you to join in the fun.  My talented Teamies have created some fabulous cards, so why not pop over to take a peek!


 ***************


The card is SU Pumpkin Pie.
Large flowers and grasses -  Cuttlebug Poppies die. 
Dark brown felt was used for the large flowers - one of the flower heads has been double-layered for dimension.
The grasses are cut from brown velvet paper, which I've had for years, and I couldn't resist adding just a tiny bit of magenta velvet paper to give the card a "lift".
Sentiment - WeRMemory Keepers.
Ribbon from stash.
Circle punch for flower centres. 
X-cut corner punch.
*********
Wow - tomorrow, May 18th, it will be 3 years to the day since I set up my Blog, and those three years seem to have flown by.
I have been blown away by the crafting talent I have discovered in blogland, the kind-hearted people, the feeling of community, inspiration and enjoyment. 
 I would like to send a huge Thank You to my Fabulous Followers, and to everyone who has ever taken the time to leave a much-appreciated comment during those 3 years. 


~ THANK YOU ~
(and love to all)

This is gorgeous Sylvia - you've really got the spirit of the photo in your card. Love the flower arrangement and the touch of pink.
Congratulations on three years blogging. Just checked when I started and it was March 2008. Doesn't seem that long at all and like you I've learnt so much from the experience. I hope we are all able to carry on blogging for many years to come.
