Playing Golf at Lilies Little Fairies

Good Morning Everyone, 
We have a brand new challenge starting over at Lilies Little Fairies today and some very exciting news!!
This week our theme is.....
                                            NO FLOWERS
I've used one of the vintage boy images called 'Playing Golf' for today's card.

I've coloured him with promarkers and flexmarkers and the background papers are from Craft Creations.

I've used a Marianne Creatables fence die, A Mb tree die (not a flower!!- lol) and a MB cloud die.

Our sponsor this week is 

There is also the chance to win a voucher from the fabulous Lili Of the Valley. We have 2 £10 vouchers for 2 lucky winners!
                                                          

Now, onto the exciting news....

This will be the last ever challenge as Lili's Little Fairies. No, please, don't be too sad, read on.

We have had a blast as LLF but it is time for a new start and from next week (5 September), we are becoming Crafty Little Fairies, a new look and a new address.

We are going to open up the challenge to use images other than LOTV. So, you can still use your Lili's and we would love to see them, but you can also use other images too. How cool is that?! I am sure the Fairies will continue to share their love of Lili with you all but this does mean more of you will be able to join in the challenges with us.

So, we hope you are as excited about all this as we are - see you next week for the first ever Crafty Little Fairies Challenge!
Don't forget for this weeks challenge you must use a LOTV image or die cut to qualify for the prize draw.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Passion for Promarkers - Recipe (1 image, 3 papers, 3 embellies(clouds) and 1 sentiment)
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for all your lovely comments. I will try and get round to visit you all later as I have a busy day today, lots of family coming over...apparently it's someone's birthday....21 again (I wish!! lol)
