I Have Colorful Friends.

I do have colorful friends. One of my sweetest friends has conversations with her cat.  Another has the loveliest southern Kentucky drawl. And my daughter whom I consider a friend can make me laugh so hard that I ALMOST pee my pants. My sister has been my friend my entire life. My husband is my friend that loves me despite all my flaws.  

Friends and Family... I love them.

I am entering my card in qkr-stampede-challenge-89-clean-simple.

CAS

I joined in on a CAS challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  The theme for this challenge was "love".
This is what I came up with.  I doesn't get any simpler than this.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up and the butterfly is from Skipping Stones.  I colored the butterfly with Spectrum Noir DR7 and CR11 and added some gems and mounted it on black card stock.

I find myself move more towards the simple lately.

Please stop by Sunday. I will have some news to share.

Remember Me?

It's been almost 2 weeks since my last post.  I need some inspiration, so I will be doing some blog hopping.
Getting back in the groove isn't easy for me.  I chose this stamp from Skipping Stones to help me get started.

I colored this Skipping Stones butterfly with Copics and then covered it with Diamond Glaze and popped it up under the wing.  I added some pearls to the wing and placed the butterfly on this branch which I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. The boarder was also cut with the Cameo and was suppose to have leaves in the the lover right corner, but I edited it out, and used the sentiment from Kaiser Craft.

I have a lot of cards that need to be made this weekend. Hopefully I can get some inspiration from my friends.
