Butterfly..... Showcase 9

Good morning everybody and welcome to all my new followers. I would never have believed I would have the lovely total of 245 Thank you I must be doing something right lol. It`s very wet and grey here so I know what I will be doing :O). 

Before I get onto my Showcase for this week. I am having a DT call for 2 new members to join my wonderful girls if you are interested in joining us leave a comment and I will get hubby to draw the names out of a hat, I can also announce that the lovely Marie-Celine Crafting Owl will be joining us next week.

This week my Showcase is....... Butterfly

And my Guest DT this week I have the very TALENTED..........

Linda Simpson

Lindsay

Tina

And of course mine.
entering this one for challenges

For this I used a 5 x 5 white card, I  printed the orange nesting shape from MCS and stamped and embossed with Enchanted Gold. The next layer I  dry embossed  white card and used a Martha Stewart punch. The butterfly was printed onto white card several times and after a few mishaps I decided to get my PeeWee glitters out that had not seen the light of day for a few years, Once glittered and dry, I cut the butterfly out and attached pearl gems from stash. I hope you like it, I`m not to sure about it!!!!    I hope you will visit the girls blogs and leave them well deserved comments as they have done me proud.
The variations  on one butterfly  image is amazing.

THANK YOU Lindsay, Tina and my guest Linda, you have all  done a wonderful job

Hi everybody, sorry I have been MIA, it`s just taken me nearly 3 days to go through my craftroom and have a good sort out, talk about being organised first time ever for me, not sure how long it will last lol, even hubby was shocked so of course I had to do his side of the room, thankfully only took me an hour to do his  I just threw everything in a box and said here you go sort that out, this was Saturday and it still sits there under his desk.

It`s time for Challenge 10 over at LEJ Designs Challenge Blog

For my card I used the lovely............... Tulips 1 digi.
