Hello

OMG!  I missed the last Ecal challenge or two! Not sure what I was so involved with that I would space out on Ecal Challenges.  Do you believe it's Spring already?  Be still my heart.  So here's my first tag for the Spring Tag Challenge using a tag from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I colored Primrose Kitten digitally and added a sentiment from my stash.   

Romantic Hearts - New Release

My card today is Pinterest inspired. The papers are from the new Romantic Hearts collection. Quick and easy card to make.

The butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch.  This was so easy to do - I'll be making more for sure.  

Pet Wishes

Hi, All!

I have cards that I did Thursday for the Tucson Pet Adoption Event on April 11.  I adore the images (cat from Kadoodle Bug and dog from 2 Cute Ink).  They are both so adorable!  These are obviously pretty fast and easy to make - important as I have such a large quantity.  Enjoy! 

Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps - Sketch Challenge

Hello! Sending you lots of butterfly love today! Hope you're having a wonderful week!

For today's card, I entered a Sketch challenge with Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps. I turned the

I turned the sketch on its side - allowing me to use the Miss You sentiment I had printed.  I finished the card off with some green butterflies - very simple card today!

Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #235

Sunday is here and, as usual, Operation Write Home's weekly sketch challenge is in full bloom!  It's been my favorite time of the week because I have so many cards to make and sketches take most of the thinking out of it and I'm generally pretty productive.

Those of you who have been visiting me each Sunday must be thinking "Another RETIREMENT card?"  Still working on an order...I'm a bit tired of them myself.  LOL!

So here's OWH's sketch for today - and my cards.

Butterfly Wishes - Day 4

Hello!

I've been featuring cards with butterflies made from scraps. But for today’s card, I wanted to do a bit of something more special for my friend's birthday.. This time I chose to use the Raindrops on Roses paper collection that I won - compliments of Heartfelt Creations. My friend loves vintage - so perfect! And I might have to restate about those scraps, because I dug into this paper collection so quickly and have made many Easter cards and a wedding card for my daughter - I actually pretty much have only scraps left!

Box cards are all the rage now - and I wanted to do something different for my friend, as she sees most of my cards (she sells them for me in her restaurant). And I've been wanting to try to a box card - so perfect timing.

My card did miss something when I was finished....so Martha Stewart's butterfly punch always comes in handy to add a finishing touch.

Enjoy today's card!
