I know I have not been posting everyday as I have been. Things have gotten so busy. I am now babysitting my grandson again, though only 2 days a week. I go to my mothers on Fridays to work on those itty bitty flowers to sell at the Egg Show in October. Finally, Sundays are busy with church activities. I need to revamp my schedule so I can get in my craft room more between all this.
Anyway...I do have a card for you today. Can you believe it took me 3 days to make this! WOW...it is hard to get my brain into crafting between busy days :o(
I really like this Nestie set. I have been having trouble getting it to cut properly and have had to cut some of the triangles with my craft knife. Finally it dawned on me to try new Big Shot plates (I try to make them last a long time, lol) and they came out perfect! So if you are having the same problem as I have had, you may want to try new plates.
This beautiful picture is from
Nicecrane Designs and comes in a set of 8 called
Women's Paintings Vol II . They are so pretty I could hardly wait to use one.
I was able to use one of my homemade butterflies using the
Colorful Butterflies Collection, also from Nicecrane Designs. I have a tutorial on how to make them
HERE. I really would love to have you try them out. They are really easy and I would love to see yours.
It seems that no matter what I did, the picture of the inside kept coming out crooked. Sorry about that.
Thank you for stopping by today and spending some of you time with me :o) <<<wish I knew how to add real smileys, lol
Hugs,

Beautiful card, your butterflies are amazing. Now what you mean about reorganizing craft time. Just not enough hours in the day.

This is so beautiful. I am definately going to check out the site for the image and your tutorials for the butterflies.
This isn't just a card, Sandy, it's a work of art! Wow, absolutely stunning! It would have taken me three weeks to create something this beautiful instead of just three days! Fabulous :)
