Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung!  Well at least it has on this card...I originally wanted to make a tiny envelope on this using a template till I ran across this mini envelope that was bigger but it ended up working best with this butterfly punch I used...I used my ribbon to chose the colors I would use for my butterflies...I then arranged them as if they were flying out of the envelope and tiny pearls were added to the centers...You could use just the tiny butterflies on a smaller envelope and maybe print out a message to slide inside partially sticking out like "Happy Birthday" just for fun...Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Special thanks to Lori Hamilton for being the Guest Designer last week!

Supplies: Paper by SU, Envelope Michaels, Ribbon Michaels, Butterfly Punch by Martha Stewart, Pearls by Recollections...

Valentines Day with Guest Designer Lori Hamilton

Happy Valentines Day!  I am so excited to share this cute creation by our Guest Designer Lori Hamilton!  Isnt this the sweetest card!  I just love the colors Lori chose and how she framed out this Digi Image in the heart die cut then layered it with the pink coordinating paper...Love the scalloped layer...Then she layered the sentiment with two different sized circles and then a scalloped one to the bottom....The sweet heart buttons which Lori even threaded with twine top this sweet Valentine card off!  Lori always makes sure she decorates the inside of her cards with coordinating papers which she did on the inside of this one along with a digi stamp in the corner...It's always a treat to share Lori' Designs because she always gives so much love and detail to her cards....Thanks so much for stopping by today and special thanks to Lori Hamilton who let me share this sweet card with you on this Valentines Day...
