Challenge #8: Flowers!
**Psst...in case you missed it, we are having a design team call which closes on May 28th! See this post for more information!**
This week's challenge is inspired by nature

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:
Siobhan used her hoarded stickles (yes, she keeps extra bottles on hand in case she runs out...don't judge!) and hoarded blingy Martha Stewart butterfly embellishments to make this teacher appreciation gift set.
Haven, our winner from Challenge #6, made this stunner! It is an award for a girl who will attending Girl Scout camp! Let me tell you, my little Girl Scouts would go ga-ga for this!
