Blossoms and Fruits

So a bit of a busy post, well card wise and the first is for the Cupcake Challenge which is for blossoms and butterflies, I just knew I wanted to use my butterfly that I make, after all I haven't used for a least a month. I used W R Memorys papers and I wanted to match the flowers and in the end I punched them out cos I couldn't match the colours and for a change I embossed the background with a folder other than swiss dots.
On Simon Says Challenge it Summer Fruits and more or less anything goes, colours, papers or image has long as there is connection to Summer Fruits. I got hold of this fab paper by Doodlebug with strawberries but I've also used one of WOJ summer kit with the strawberries on her clothes and I rediscovered the strawberry stamp too. I've used the swirly punch too and could that be the heart embossing folder too.
Look what I got too, an Award from Abi, many thanks.
As to the Parcel I received a postcard from the PO to say there is £9.97 to pay because they failed to put the postage on the parcel. OK it was a big parcel for a start there was a 12 by 12 album in there. It was a geniue mistake and the shop in question just wants the receipt for what we paid and will reimburse me. I do get parcels regularly from them so I knew it wouldn't be a problem.
I have just checked Papertake Weekly to see the new challenge, which is a fabby sketch by the way to see I've won.
