DT By The Cute and Girly: Once upon a time

It has turned into april. Where did march go?? It all went so fast I didn't have time to even wave it goodbye. Now we are welcoming april, and this has got to be my favourite month apart from when I am on holidays. I just love spring don't you?? Flowers blooming, it is not so dark in the evening and even takes longer before nightfall. Love to hear all the birds singing too...Enough blabbering...

 I was gonna tell you we have another fabolous challenge over at By the Cute and Girly this month as well. Unfortunately this will be my last month with this fabolous team  as I recently started working full time and something had to go. I am so caught up in work at the moment and I had to stop doing something as I saw time running from me and I began to run late with some of my DT duties. So if I can stop blabbering for another moment the theme of the month will be Once upon a time and it is the lovely Aideen's turn to be our host. 

Your project could be based on your favourite story, nursery rhyme or fairy tale etc. OR as you can see for Aideen's first project. She has altered an actual book-for a different twist on the theme!!

We have some fabulous prizes up for grabs again this month from our 2 regular sponsors and also a new digi sponsor.

Prize 1: $20 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp

Prize 2: £10 gift certificate from Joanna Sheen

Prize 3: Three digital stamps from Milk N Coffee
