Limited Edition

Wow--what a week already and it is only Wednesday!  I am gearing up for four weeks on the road and there never seems to be enough time.
Today I have a card for you that I simply love
I love the bright colors, a layered flower, cuttlebug, and a chambray ruffle.  Simply, easy, but the wow factor is there (or so I think)

Butterflies.........

It's Monday and I hope you all had a special holiday weekend.  I was lucky enough to get a bit of crafting--it's about time right!
Well the title is not because I nervous but rather the exact opposite.  A dear friend of mine recently celebrated here one year anniversary of breast cancer and I wanted to make something for her as she is one of my biggest fans when it comes to my cards--think I make all of her cards now.
She LOVES butterflies so when I got this from SEI it was like fate had stepped in!
It's a butterfly mobile.  The only place I had to hang it to work on it was my light fixture.  There is about 150 butterflies in total and took a good bit of time to make--I am much better when it is paper glue and sparkles than I am in these 3D art projects.

So I am going to try and hang it before she gets to the office on Monday!
I do have some layouts and cards to share as well.  We are back on track with normal posts (even through my work travel is still crazy--I have worked ahead!)
Make sure to leave those comments for your max number of chances to win this weeks CTMH blog candy stamp set.
Make it a great one-

What's up Peeps!

Hey my peeps--what's going on.  I am so sorry my job had taken over ever minute of my life the last few weeks but I was needing a crafting fix so I made a card this evening when I got home well after the Voice was on and over (a bit bitter about this).
So this fun Easter card is actually a thank you card--I know I know--long story I will get to shortly.
I did a four mat stack with the turq solid embossed with the cuttlebug and the top white is where I stamped. The middle bunny I added glitter using my xyron technique I always talk about.
Here is a close up of the layers--I love taking two colors and using them to really pop--simple but packs a punch.
So here is the stamped images--all from CTMH and the same stamp set.  I did a little three 3D here in a new sort of way.  No pop dots!  I know crazy--but I did use one of my must haves from the new CTMH catalogue called Adhesive Springs (Z1725)
So here is a side view--the springs are about a 3/4" long and 3/4" round--I have so many ideas for these--I think I have purchased like 50 sets--hoarder much!
I added a few scraps to the inside to pull it all together.  Before I forget let me tell you about the envelope.
I simply love this egg stamp and had to use it so I added it to the envelope--yet one more way to tie it all  together.
Products used:
Daisy White Card Stock from CTMH
Lagoon Card stock and ink from CTMH
My Peeps Stamp Set (B1402 $9.95) from CTMH
Adhesive Springs (Z1725  $2.95 set of 6) from CTMH
Pattern Paper from Lilybee Designs Buttercup collection (love love love this collection)

OK on to the long story.  Well the other day a co-worker gave my staff chocolate bunnies (an who does not love a chocolate bunny) well there was not one on my desk so I jokingly was like why did I not get one.  The next day I got a big bunny on my desk--I thought it was funny but did not know who had done it.  Well I had a business trip to Little Rock and Friday morning I got a text with the below-
My response to the image was "somebunny's got jokes!!!"  I laughed about this for a good 20 minutes!

Alright enough for today--there is more to come this week and after the holiday we should be back on track!
Make it a great one-

I am in Little Rock till Friday afternoon on a customer visit so I will post again on Saturday a few fun things I have picked up over the past few weeks--I have gotten a crafty package everyday this week!
Next week will also be Five days of give aways!  A different CTMH stamp set every day!!!
Make it a great one-

I'm back

After an amazing trip to Europe I am home and back to normal.  Normal is all relative!
So I was in my craft room for the first time in a while and have got some cool things to share this week.
Today I want to encourage you all to head over to Pink By Design Stamps for a very cool Spring Blog Hop.
So here are a couple of pictures from my last stop London where Crafting seemed to find me!
I do love me some ribbon
I just loved this arrangement of hat pins.

OK back to paper crafts on Tuesday--remember to check out the PBD blog hop and we will see you back here on Tuesday!
Make it a great one-
