Spring has Sprung!

Well it's not really Spring-like where I am quite yet but it is time for those dreaded April showers! And that's part of our theme this week but before we get to that, I have a lot to announce.

First, be sure to check out my post from yesterday announcing our March Top Ten and our Guest DT for April!!

I also was offering a little goodie package to one lucky player from last week's challenge and that person is......#7 Chrissy Winters!! Chrissy, please send me your mailing address so I can pop something in the mail to you!

This week we are starting up with 2 new sponsors - please welcome Michelle Zimmerman of Life's LITTLE Things and LeAnne Dudley of Dudleychick Designs.

LeAnne is offering one lucky player from April's challenge the following prize package:


and Michelle's prize is what you see below:



Thank you to these two generous ladies! Remember, you have the whole month to play along with the challenges and the more you play, the more chances you have to win!

Now on to the challenge. The theme is April showers brings May flowers so we want to see what you create with showers and/or flowers. Let's see what the DT created:







Beautiful and sooo Springy!

Now it's your turn - create something with showers and/or flowers and let us see your artwork. Just link up below (be sure to use a direct link to the page of your blog with the challenge artwork, not to the whole blog) and we'll stop by and see what's "springing" up in your artwork~

Oh and be on the lookout for an announcement soon about our 1st blog bunny hop that you can participate in - it promises to be a hare-raising good time!!

I don't know where I've been---I thought your challenges were still only open for a week, so I haven't been participating. I'm thrilled to discover I have more time so I can play along. Thank you! Thank you! Love this one, btw. And congrats to Mary, I saw your name pop up as a new member on another challenge blog!

Hi everyone, I'm so glad I found this blog. I really need the challenges to stir up my creativity. I was a SU! demo for 10 years and just switched to CTMH last month so have limited supplies. Thanks again

I love this site and join in every chance but is there any way to remove links to those who didn't use CTMH products? There seemed to be tons this time who didn't play by the rules:-)
