Tanya - For this week's Flower Frenzy Challenge I've made my first ever pop up box card featuring flower embellies and a sentiment and paper from the Lily Bug Love Collection that you can get on download or CD versions and little itty bitty collections too and black and white digis for you to colour yourself. Full details on my blog.

Fiona - Hi everyone this week I have used the new collection Stamp soup Lemonade Fizz
a great cd with loads of flowers. I used the wheelbarrow template to create my make. As well as all the abundance of flowers available on the cd.

Audrey chose New Bonnet image from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Collection which I added to one of the cut and create templates from Paper Boutique CD Collection Volume 1, which is this lovely flower pot card. I also added extra flowers from Work and Play Volume 12 Big Kahuna Download Collection. Hope you like it, hugs:)

Monica- For this week make, I`m working with a beautiful birdhouse template included on Twiggy & Toots collection. To add the flower frenzy look, I used one of it`s beautiful flower pattern paper and then I 3d the flowers. The bird, nest, butterfly and of course the lovely digi are all included in this collection.

Gail - I just had to use the brand new release Lavender Tea, I just lurvee this new collection and the co-ordinating stamp collection is fabulous. There's a brilliant pre-order deal available for the CD-Rom and stamp set for both the Lavender Tea and Lemonade Fizz collections, available here and is a great value for money.

Helen - I've used elements from the 'Lily Love Bug' collection (available here as a CD and here as a download) to create my card. I enlarged one of the flower embellishments to make a layer for my card and then added more smaller flowers and a sentiment to the topper.

Lynda: This week I used the beautiful Winnie sugar sprinkles springtime collection. The image is one of the many toppers you get on the cd, it's so cute!!! The papers, flowers and sentiments I used are also included in this collection. Lynda xx
