Flutter By Wednesday #15

Happy Flutter By Wednesday! The challenge this week on the Flutter By team was to create a card using punches/diecuts and of course, butterflies or fairies. I'm running low on birthday cards so decided to make one of those. I used the sketch at OCC this week for the layout.

I forgot that my butterfly would be on the blue paper so I ran it through my Cuttlebug embossing folder and then inked it with green ink. I thought it still needed something so I outlined it with my black pen and then applied shimmerz to it. Here's a close up:

We have some new team members so be sure to check out their blogs. I've included their links to the right. Stop by Danni's blog to see who the featured team member is. Why not make a card and share it as well. Danni has set up a Mr. Linky for you to post your creation.

I wanted to thank all of you for the emails and comments I received about my health issues. I REALLY appreciate it!! I've been a little tired so I'm behind in responding but I will do that in the next day or so.

Quick Abby share - yesterday was Kindergarten Round Up. She was so excited to go and see her new school. When we got there kids were outside playing and she asked why there were so many big kids at her school. I guess to a Kindergarten a 6th grader does look pretty big!! One of the things that the kids got to do was take a bus ride. For many of them this was their first and boy were they excited. Abby was no exception. She kept smiling and insisted that I take a picture of her.

Doesn't she look happy? She then decided that I needed to take a picture of her making a funny face on the bus.

You're laughing aren't you? I know I do - we call this her google eye look. :o)

Thanks for stopping by and looking!
