Good morning to you. Here in the South East of England the weather is very hot and boy are we all enjoying it. I hope the weather is as good for you wherever you are in the world. The Sweet Pea Stampers just want to say thank you to all of you who took part in the Red, White and Blue challenge last week. Some really stunning cards and projects to see once again.

This week we have a recipe for you. I have to admit it is rather a challenging one. Sometimes it is good to let yourself stretch the creative imagination and step outside of your comfort zone. So we want to see the following recipe in your card:

No pattern paper
1 butterfly

3 different embellishments

Cannot wait to see what your creative imagination creates for our challenge.

We have a great line up of prizes for you this week. We have 3 prizes on offer.

The first prize is from our very own Linda who is the proud owner of JAZZLINS DESIGNS. Where there are plenty of Sweet Pea stamps and other delights to buy. Hop over to her blog for full details. She is offering the winner:

a Sweet Pea Stamp,
a pack of cosmic shimmers
and a bag of embellishments.

Wow an absolutely fantastic prize I think you will agree and this winner will also be given the chance to be our Guest Designer next week.

The second prize is a choice of 3 Ching Chou Kuik digital image sheets from The Crafty Purple frog which is run by our very own Amy

The third prize is donated by the fabulous Sweet Pea Stamps. This weeks image is the magical ching-chou kuik's Fairy of the Night
