Three Challenges!!!

Afternoon peeps. It was lovely and sunny here this morning then late morning it all disappeared. Never mind it is still fairly warm. I was going to have my hairdresser come this morning to give me a bit of a tidy up but she phoned to say that there is major eruptions in her life and she had to put it on hold until next week. I think myself lucky that life is okay with me at the moment.

My card today is for Three Challenges:-

Pollycraft Monday Challenge#44 - Summer Blooms. To enter this challenge click here .

Sir Stampalot May Challenge - Butterflies & Blooms. To enter this challenge click here .

I am afraid the picture of this card is a little dark. My photographer did tell me to choose the other one but I wouldn't listern. Lol!!!!

I have used Petite Scalloped Circles Large & Standard Circles Large Nesties from Spellbinders to Cut & Mount the image.
