Color me up.

Well, that was the end of our long October. We woke up to a white world all around us, but it appears that we may get a break and have it all go away by the end of next week. The temperature will climb just enough to hopefully get rid of it all. A bit too soon to have all the whiteness.

How about a bit of color then? I agree! I got the colors idea from the CCMC challenge 382 and the sketch from Pals Paper Arts challenge 276. I thought the combination rather unusual, and went for just a bit of the Elegant Eggplant, while lavishing on the Island Indigo. I like the fern touch on the corner and that was stamped in Delightful Dijon. The Butterfly Basics stamp set was the set for the image used. The butterflies were cut from both the Bold Butterfly and Butterflies Thinlits and they were all I needed. A sentiment? Well, I feel that this card can be used for many occasions, so I want to keep it that way.

Thank you so much for visiting today. Remember to check grab your favorites at the Online Extravaganza starting tomorrow! I am super excited and can hardly wait. I know some items will go fast, so plan on an early shopping! Be well

I am done!

Yes, I am done... with my taxes and I am glad it is over with. It is not a fun time and there are always few items on them that really irritates me to no end. Oh well, then I go to my studio and stamp my heart out.

And stamp I did. I went to work on the Splitcoast Stamper Sketch Challenge 533, narrow the base down to Sahara Sand, decided to take a look at color combinations and somehow got to the Create with Connie and Mary blog, they have the CCMC challenge 348 as a color challenge,  and the rest of the colors was decided for me. Easy huh? The stamp set of choice here is the Butterflies Basics set and it had all the elements I wanted for this card. A bit texture on the Soft Sky card stock and my card is completed and pleasing to the eyes if I may say so.

I think of you, butterfly.

Another week is coming to a close and it was a busy one. I found time, throughout the week to make some craft, I had time to do come cleaning and organizing, despite feeling not s great, so all in all it was a productive week. Very much so.

The Mojo Monday challenge 389 gave me immediate inspiration and this was a card that I put together as if it has been in my mind waiting to come alive. The Butterfly Basic stamp set was used for both the background and the very pretty butterfly. I am loving that stamp set and its matching framelits. I added a bit of ribbon and a perfect made bow, which you can also make this easily!

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will come back again soon. And remember to subscribe and to follow my blog!

Celebrate, Butterflies.

Yes, I know, I have Spring in my mind and with days as beautiful as we have gotten lately, I can only think, hope, and call Spring to arrive soon!

This wish is clearly seen in my cards lately. I want to use flowers, colors, butterflies, birds, and all the other natural beauty Spring brings forth. While I patiently wait, I will lend a hand in bringing some beauty to my blog for you to enjoy and the  Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 254 gave me the sketch to work with. Of course I am totally drawn to the Butterfly Basics bundle and could not stop myself yet again. A bit of the Sweet Sadie Washi tape and this card was together in no time.
