Comforting Butterflies

Hey there Crafty Friends! I can't believe that tomorrow is Monday already! Where did the weekend go! It was such a lazy weekend for me! And you know what...I enjoyed every moment! I have a slightly less busy week ahead, which is great because I have several crafty things that I need to get done, including our school's yearbook!!! EEEK!!! I know it will all get done, I just need to get myself a little more focused! LOL Anyway, here is a quick project that I wanted to share with you. It is a sympathy card, but it features one of my favorite things, Butterflies! :) I really love how the colors and the card as a whole came together! I hope that you enjoy it too! Didn't it turn out just gorgeous! The pattenred paper is from the Best Friends cartridge for the Imagine. The beautiful flowers are from a Prima set that I picked up at A.C. Moore. The butterfly was cut from the Storybook cartridge. All of the sentiments are from K. Andrew Designs-Sympathetic Sayings. There were so many great sentiments on this set, that it was tough to choose the right ones for this card. I really love how the card turned out and it was super quick to put together. Well that's all I have for today! I will be back later this week to share some more fun projects! Until Next Time... Big Crafty Butterfly Hugs!

Sample Invites & A Rockstar Thank You

Oh how I have missed being able to post. I haven't had much time to create this past week. I really hope to be able to sit down and get a few things done this upcoming week. I have a belated birthday card to make and some other things on my list of things I'd like to do! 

 Last weekend I was asked by a friend if I had any creative ideas for wedding invitiations. After looking at many different blogs, I was inspired by the creations that I saw over at Weddings with the Cricut.
Here are some samples that I created to share with my friend.

I created the base for the invitation by using by gypsy and welding circles to a 5" square.

I just adore this closure for the invitation

I love the hibiscus on the inside of this invite!

Isn't this closure soo cute!  I'm also entering these into the Getting Cricky with K Andrews A-Z Challenge

Both of the closed invites together

I also had a chance to create a thank you card for a former student who brought me a special present. He loves his guitar and all things related to art and music so I knew that this guitar from Smiley Cards would be perfect for him!

Thanks for stopping by! I love to read your comments they really do inspire me to continue to be creative.

I want to share a quote that I read from the Februrary Issue of O Magazine:

" You are the creative type. We all are---even if we don't know it yet."

Keep smiling and creating! Until next time...

** Hugs **
