This is for the MMTPT97 challenge and the QFTD13 challenge - I had to try two at once since I have so little time and need to catch up on my challenges.
MMTPT97 was all about Darla the Dragonfly this week. Seems her daughter had reached a turning point in her life and Darla wants to show her the world before she moves on to the next world (seems Dragonflies don't live long after they reach maturity). Also, it seems that dragonflies have a million enemies - poor things! We were to include flowers and nice critters in this challenge so I included a nice dragonfly and some pretty sparkly flowers for Darla and her daughter.
As for the QFTD13 - the Queen of the week is Marleygo! How fun! Leslie loves Teapot Tuesdays so it was great that I could combine the two challenges. This is the card I cased:
It is a sparkly beauty - I picked it because of the butterflies but especially for the punched border. I decided to use the MS Lattice punch since I didn't have her special MS punch but I know Leslie loves the Lattice punch too (she is a Punchkateer so she loves every punch that actually works). I tried the bow in the corner but it didn't look right since my image is so big so I did the ribbon down the middle. I did it all in pink because when I was sitting down to do challenges, I had just read that the TSC challenge had a rule to use no pink - then I couldn't get pink out of my head! Leslie's card didn't have an image in the middle - actually it had a bunch all over over. Congrats Leslie, I may case another today if I get some time. You are definitely deserving of this honor - you leave so much love in my gallery that there is no room for spiders or dust and you are extremely talented! Hugz to you!

Yeah! Way to rebel! Even it it wasn't for this lil beauty! Lol. Nancy, I love how your mind works! You need to be Punchkateer Queen for the use of the border punch alone! And all that delish *pink*! (Oooo, should I copy this to Tater?) Lol. Your card is very honoring to the sweet Lesley. ad I love the softness of your main image. Beautiful! And, beautifully pink! Hugs....
