A "For Fun" Sunday Card


Hey there crafty peeps!  How's your weekend treating you?  Things here have been pretty quiet - did some baking and cleaning yesterday while DH and DS#1 were at a volleyball tournament and then got a *little* bit of extra sleep this morning...WOOHOO for the time change!  I have to make some cookies today but wanted to make a quick card before I do.

The Play Date Cafe's combination this week is so pretty - a final ode to summer... *sigh*


I decided to use Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery and Whisper White.  Off I went in search of a sketch and found the perfect one over at Just us Girls:


At first glance, my instinct was to interpret the sketch VERY literally and make a flower...but that's BORING, right?  *grin*  So, I dug out my Beautiful Wings embosslit and made it into a butterfly:

Recipe - Stamp: {Topiary} Little Paper Shop  Ink: Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery  Paper: Certainly Celery, Groovy Guava, Whisper White, SU! DSP  Accessories: Buttons, sewing machine, Leafy Braqnch embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Beaded Ovals Nesties, dimensionals, Groovy Guava ribbon, sponge dauber

Thanks for stopping by this morning - I'm off to bake Chocolate Chip/Peanut Butter Chip cookies!  Yummy...see you tomorrow!
