Pin It This month, I am one of the special guests over at One Scrappin Sista's blog. All this month, she has had her crafty friends stopping by to create beautiful projects using her favorite colors. I chose to create a Beautiful Butterfly Birthday card using turquoise, orange (my favorite color), and purple. For my project, I made - what else - a birthday card.  I recently picked up an American Girl border punch & a Cuttlebug embossing folder - from the  Cricut Companion Once Upon a Princess set -  that, both, featured butterflies. I was so anxious to use them on a project together. What better time to create than now?!?! I used turquoise Recollections metallic cardstock from Michael's along with purple & orange cardstock from their seasonal packs.  I used some of my VersaMagic chalk ink in Sea Breeze to ink the edges of the card base & layered pieces. I added some white ribbon from my stack & a few brads and viola!  ...

So I have been keeping busy & getting a few orders out. These have been fairly simple, yet elegant at the same time. Both feature my new favorite embossing folder from Tim Holtz's Alterations line. The "save the date" cards are flat and were placed in an envelope for mailing. The "Afternoon of Elegance" invitations are top folded with the details inside & will also be placed in an envelope for mailing. Both of the customers who ordered these goodies were very excited when they received them! Don't forget the "Inspired by... Fridays" challenge for this week... There's a Cricut cartridge up for grabs!
