This month is our birthday month! Our first challenge was April 2020, so we're now three years old. In celebration of this special occasion, we have not just one but four prizes up for grabs!

Prize 1:

A mystery prize pack donated by Charlotte / Lady Joyful (UK/EU only)

Prize 2:

American Craft Jen Hadfield stamp set and Bloom Street by Paige Evans stamp set donated by Pamela (US only)

Prize 3:

Stampin' Up Scenic Garden stamp set, donated by Tammy

Prize 4:

Lisa Horton Large Framed Traditional Rose Die donated by Angela B

First, we still have Marina of My Perfect Life joining us as a Guest Designer this month! Marina was the winner of the February challenge. Here is the fun card she made:

The prize winners will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules. Rules are in the sidebar if you need a refresher. If you have a preference as to which prize you would receive should you be the winner, please mention that in the comments below and I will try to take that into account when the winners are chosen. I cannot guarantee it though! Also, you may have noticed that some of the prizes are only for specific locations, so you will need to leave a comment on this post letting us know where you're based so we can make sure you're in the running for the right prizes!
