It's a Fluttering Butterfly Day!


I'm fluttering and flitting myself today!! I am so excited to announce that I am joining the Flutter By Wednesday team starting today! For those who haven't discovered this awesome challenge yet, it is every Wednesday and the running theme is...you guessed it, butterflies! Danni started this super fun challenge, and if you haven't visited her blog, you need to go HERE now! In fact, this is her 51st challenge!

This week's challenge was to use butterflies (of course), but to also not use designer paper. Instead, you are to create your own background. This could be using stamps or your Cuttlebug or whatever you choose. The quote from the set Butterfly of Happiness by Stampin' Up is one of my favorites, especially since I am a Hawthorne fan. The card is simple, but I sometimes forget that simple can be really pretty, too! I love how the Purely Pomegranate gives it just the right POP!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my great news! I feel like I finally got my big break in the biz...Oscars here I come! Please grab a beverage, sit and relax and head on over to the other team members' blogs to see their creations!
