Also for the month of May we have a very special guest designer.
Rowena from Crafty Pagan Designs
If you haven't seen Rowena's work before you are in for a treat. She has a mix of vintage, whimsy and just plain arty wonderfulness! LOL Please visit her and leave her some love.

It's Once Upon Wednesday time and it's time for another Special Guest Sketcher!
This week I'm very humbled to introduce a very good blogging friend of mine.
It's Jacque from Jacques Magnolia's!!!
If you haven't been privy to a Jacque creation before then you are in for a treat.
She designs for Magnolialicious, Friday Sketchers and Just Magnolia along with too many more to mention!
Her style is simply gorgeous and her coloring is some of the best you will come across and I'm honored that she not only designed us a sketch...



...but made a fabulous card using Hannah with Butterfles by Sandra Hammer to go with it too!



Please drop by her fabulous blog and leave her a little love :)

Along with the wonderful sketch for this challenge we'd love to see you use Lots and Lots of Flowers!
Remember that you can play with the sketch, the theme or both!
One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
