Third post for today..... and there is another exciting Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge! 

Today’s Challenge has been chosen by Heather and this week it's 

“Use Your Scraps“

As you all know I keep going on about my stash of scraps, I will have to take some pics for you I have been keeping my scraps and collecting crafty stuff for over 10 years, there is soooo much that I need to use up!  This is the perfect opportunity to use up those crafty scraps that are sitting there begging to be used!

So here's my card for this week, I have used Summertime Pat which I had printed off a while ago for a previous challenge, so I decided to give her an autumn feel and use the autumn colours..... 

Some of you may recognise my scraps of DP's theses I've had for years and they are from sizzix, the green flowers I've had in my draw for sooo long!

Autumn Pat 

and the flowers.....

This week we will be giving the lucky winner a fab prize from The Crafty Pad so make sure you enter for a chance to win.....
