for use in digital stamping, greeting card creation, digi stamping and invitation designs.  

They offering £10.00 to spend in store to one random winner.

Our second sponsor for this month is Petal Lu, here is a bit about her:

Hello, my name is Lucinda Lucker and I am the owner of Petal Lu, I am a wife to John and mum to Sebastian, Josephine and Benjamin and together we run our village Pub/Resturant, in Bristol.
I have crafted since I was a child, mainly sewing, tapestry and knitting. I started paper crafting 7 years ago and my flowers hit the market mid 2012 since then they have gone from strength to strength, releasing new colours and constantly working on new designs.
All the flowers you see, are hand made by myself and I love every minute of making them. 
and Lucinda is offering this package of luscious flowers


The theme for this month is Spring or Pastel
