{SPARKLE}...

..."God's promises are like the stars - the darker the night, the brighter they {sparkle}" 
David Nicholas...

The original concept of this LO came from Beyond the Door challenge blog with an inspiration challenge.  I decided to go with the Black & White colour scheme. 

 After having looked through all my personal inspiration folder I came across a LO in a very old magazine which I have been thinking about; as well as deciding on this B& W photo I've been wanting to scrap for ages, I was totally inspired by the amazing, accomplished artist - Jeni O'Connor. 

I'm afraid the photos of my LO are not the best, as my DH had the camera all day, and it's nearly cut-off time for the current challenge over at the gorgeous Lime Tree Creations' March challenge.   oh yes the flowers really are not yellow - they really truly are WHITE !!! <LOL >

So without further ado, I am submitting this LO for the following challenges:

• Lime Tree Creations March challenge : "include at least one... CLOUD...Create a Layout, Card or OTP and use something from Lime Tree Creations. (I have used one of the beautifully hand knitted (white) hearts (middle bottom flower) that I purchased at their February sale.

• Beyond The Door March Inspiration challenge:

<my inspiration for the black, white & grey/silver colour scheme>

• Bird Is the Word Challenge Blog : The current word, to be used somewhere on your LO is "Sparkle". the photo is of my beautiful grandaughters, whose smiles also sparkle and always make my day when I see them :)
