We have two challenge sponsors this week. First, is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. The winner will receive a generous prize from them!

This week's challenge is:
Flowers!

(plus a sentiment)

As usual, the design team has been hard at work creating some projects that we hope will inspire you to create something using flowers! Easy right? Some of the design team have used the digital stamps that Kim is selling so you can see that they have tons of possibilities!

A note about this week's freebie:

Every other week, we'll be sharing freebie sentiments chosen by a member of the design team. These are some of their favorite sentiments! Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them. This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Kathryn! Kathryn is a pleasure to have on the team and we hope that you enjoy the sentiments she has chosen this week!

If you like the freebies given away in this blog every week, please consider purchasing one of the sets for the special fundraiser HERE. We appreciate your help for this great cause.

Sentimental Sundays Weekly Freebie:
