Anniversary in the Islands CC196

Well, I had started the components in Design Studio for my Cricut for this card last night, as I needed an anniversary card for my sister. This morning I found out she is going to Antigua for her anniversary, hence the cuttlebugged waves on top. Not necessarily the direction I would have taken originally, but I wanted to follow today's color challenge too, so...but, I do like the way it came out. No stamping on the card, but I did stamp a pretty heart on the envelope. tfl

True Blue Friend Butterfly IC157

This is my entry for today's SCS inspiration challenge inspired by this piece: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18280372Looking back at my gallery, I seem to be on a blue kick lately...oh well, great color to be stuck on!! lol

I started out trying to ink my script cuttlebug folder to make a black and white script background like in the inspiration piece, but failed miserably...the black script was backwards!!...lol. Sooooo...wound up with this...I like the way it turned out, and I still have the blue and black butterfly!

The sentiment stamp is one I received as winner of blog candy from Silke Ledlow. I had to guess the weight of her 6 month old puppy, Luke, which was 53 pounds!!!! Yikes!! Thanks, Silke!! tfl

Thinking of You Dandelions

I made this card tonight for my husband's co-worker, whose father is in critical condition. He will be taking it to work for everyone to sign and send to the family.

Butterfly Dreams, SC205

Here's my entry for SC205. The idea was to keep it simple since we're all busy for the holidays. I'm glad, because I have been trying to discipline myself to finish up shopping and crafting my Christmas presents, so, between that and Thanksgiving festivities, I haven't been able to keep up with the challenges lately. I know you can all relate to that!! Anyway, I've been itching to do a challenge, and this one fit in just great! Thanks, Roxy!!
