Hello!! I can't believe we are so near to the end of April already, where does the time go? Despite the title we've actually not had many April showers, in fact it's been quite glorious on many days, will it last for the bank holiday weekend though and my trip down to sunny Sussex for a family get together, I do hope so. I do miss being a stones throw from the beach and I'm looking forward to taking a walk along Worthing seafront for the first time in years, well I can always pack my wellies, mac and brolly...lol.
Anyway April showers and flowers are certainly reflected in my card for today...
Who's changed the photo upload thingy?...it's taken me ages to try and upload my card....grrrr I do hate it when blogger change things. Oh well at least it's here now!!
Now I must thank my lovely buddy Shell, for the fabulous tutorial over on her blog for Fan Fold Flowers and for also experimenting with them herself to see what they looked liked if they were flattened, FAB thats what they look like. Please go check out Shell's blog it is full of inspiration and Shell's amazing reflections on crafting and life in general all from her little shed.

And before I go I have got to share with you a picture to show how clever Mollie Mops can be when it comes to carrying her favourite ring and chew bone at the same time...lol
She came in from the garden like this and sat there for 10 minutes like this, trying to make a point at how clever she was...rofl!!
Enjoy your day!!

Lovely job on this! Thank you for playing along with the Papertake Weekly challenge.
Oh - doesn't Molly look adorable - and ever so clever! She made me giggle :0)
Your card looks lovely - I especially like the image. I've not made the flowers before with backing papers as I wondered whether it might be too thick, I always use copier paper - but it looks like yours have come out a treat - glad you tried it :0)
Enjoy your trip away - I'm sure you will all have a fabulous time.
Take care
hugs
