BUTTERFLIES, BUTTERFLIES AND MORE BUTTERFLIES

Good morning, it is once again Monday and another work day. I love going to work (smilel) that is where I can make some more money so that I can buy more supplies to make more cards and crafts. I am back with another post and this one is all about the butterflies. I love butterflies. They come in so many gorgeous colors and they change their whole personality in a lifetime. First they are the ugly caterpillar, crawling around on the ground. And then after a long rest in a caccoon they emerge from a long sleep as this beautiful butterfly that can fly. How cool is that.

This is not a project  that I had to color. I used two butterfly stamps that I bought at Michaels. I made two other butterflies on the bottom of the easel card with the butterfly Spellbinders. And the really gorgeous butterfly with all the colors is from Jolie. The paper used for the card is all from my scrap file. The two blue DP was from the Lime Rickey pad by Basic grey, the rest I am not really sure about. Like I said it is from my scraps. The bling is from my stash. and the button is from The Paper Studio. The sentiment on the one stamp says "Find your wings and fly!" The flowers are from my stash.

The challenges are:
Crafty Creations Butterflies
Flutter by Wednesday A recipe: 1 part sparkle; 2 parts designer paper; 3 buttons or gems
Crafty Catz Buttons and butterflies
Digital Tuesday use your scraps
Fab N' Funky Flower Power

Well, that is it for today. I hope to be able to post something else before I take a few days vacation starting on Friday. I will be going to the south suburbs of Chicago, my home town for many years. But, I will only be gone a few days.
