And lastly today we have a fabulous project using an amazing image from Aurora Wings! This is a brand new sponsor to LOC and we are thrilled to have them on board - look out for more images from them this month and later in the year.

 

This project is from Samara Navi who you will be seeing lots of this month! She is on the DT at Ike's Art and has just today sent me an email with more than a half dozen amazing creations!
