Flight of the Butterfly

I just love this stamp set. I love butterflies and it is such a great set. I was feeling a little uninspired today, so I made this card to try and get the juices flowing. I always go back to this set when I need a bit of inspiration. I am hoping to get a few more cards done today and then I will be back to scrapbook LO's. I really need to get my son's album going. I am hoping to have it all done by the end of the year. Wish me luck.lol. For those of you that don't know me, while I love scrapbooking, I never ever seem to make any progress. It takes me hours or day to do a LO...I am constantly re-doing it and thinking it could be better. I hope you enjoy today's card





Until next time, Happy Scrappin'

Cards for my nieces

I have been in a fairly creative mindset the past few days and have actually managed a few LO's and 2 cards. 2 of John's nieces have birthdays in the next couple weeks, so I made their cards last night so he can mail them on the way to work. I have also been using embellishments that I normally don't use, not because I don't like them, but because I normally forget to use them. Catherine, I actually stamped RIGHT ON A LO!!, not even on a piece of paper, but right on the actual page, twice!! I am very proud of myself for trying lots of new things too.

Both the cards I made are all Stampin' Up!®. The first uses Almost Amethyst, Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White cardstock, Delicate Dots DSP, Almost Amethyst, Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery and Mellow Moss Classic Ink. The centers of all the flowers have Micro Beads. The stamps are Flower Fancy and Garden Greetings.



This card uses Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White cardstock, Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, and Chocolate Chip Classic ink, and the stamp set is Flight of the Butterfly.


I am going to try and take pictures of the LO's I did the last few days and post them soon. Until then, Happy Scrappin'

super busy

I have been super busy around here trying to get everything organized and ready for our big camping trip in a week and a bit. I am also trying to get all the sugar flowers done for the cake I am making, for the wedding we are going to.

I did manage to get a card made today. I didn't have much time so I again CASED a card I saw on SCS. It was originally done by Stacey (slschaf771), and all I changed was the colors and the sizing a bit to use what I had. I hope you like it.



This is all Stampin' Up!®. The paper is Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Delicate Dots DSP. The ink is Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Chocolate Chip. I used the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set, and Certainly Celery 5/8" ribbon. The 1/1/4 in punch was used on the 2 smaller butterflies and was popped with Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used the mini glue dots for the butterfly's body so the wings could fold up a bit for depth.
