Challenge #50 - "Going with the flow!"

Hi everyone . . slight change in plans this week as Lou has been up to her ears in family stuff and we wanted to make sure that our birthday celebrations were "simply the best" so the birthday party will now be NEXT WEEK and boy, oh boy have we got a PARTY lined up for you . . . prizes galore and loads of yummy inspiration too . . . no RSVP needed . . just join in with the fun!

This week we've decided to alter things a little as things are a bit up in the air, so suitably have gone with the theme of . .

"going with the flow!"

Simply translated this means, make anything you want . . . but please make sure it's decent and can be published !!! There will be a "surprise prize" for the lucky randomly chosen winner which has been donated by Lou (as an apology for all the mix ups). The DT had a blast with the theme this week and this is what they came up with to inspire . . .

"Forget me not"

We would like you to rummage through your crafting stash and use a long forgotten stamp or alternatively look through your computer hard drive and use a long forgotten digi image. We are all guilty of neglecting areas of our stash and now is the time to get these poor images out, give them a dusting off and let them out into the daylight this week! The DT are also as guilty as everyone else and here is their take on this weeks challenge. Don't forget to pop over to their blogs to get the full "low down" on the long forgotten stamped or digi image they have used this month for this week challenge . . . .
