Good morning, friends 🙂
It is no wonder that my head is spinning this morning.   I have so much going on in the ‘personal arena’.   I took my brother and nephew to the airport yesterday, to send them back to Colorado.   It was so great to see them.   I am missing them already.   I would have kidnapped my nephew, Gabe, but his mom would have frowned on that! 🙂
We received word a couple of days ago that my aunt Marci’s cancer is spreading. Â She is leaving tomorrow for Maryland to visit my Granny, an aunt and cousin. Â When she returns, the doctors are going to decide when and if they are going to operate to remove the mass. Â My Marci has been through way too much over the last six years. Â Â She really deserves a break. Â I am praying hard, and would appreciate your prayers, too.
I do have some exciting news coming, but it is going to have to wait for a day or so.   So, as you can see, I am on a roller coaster!  Thank God, I have such an awesome bunch of boys who have rallied around to make the days easier.
So, this morning I endulged myself with some stamping.   I wanted to make a baby card for a friend who just delivered a baby girl yesterday, but the challenge didn’t afford me the arena for that.   I will just have to do that later 🙂
Today’s Limited Supply challenge was to use die cuts as our main image. Â Sadly enough, I don’t have alot of die cuts. Â I have this beautiful Nesties butterfly though! Â It seems I have done alot of flowers and butterflies lately. Â I am going to break that habit!!
This is pretty simple. Â I die cut the frame and popped it. Â I die cut the butterfly in three colors (crushed curry, rich razzleberry and white). Â I sponged some rich razzleberry onto the white layer while it was still in the die. Â I stacked the butterfly and voila.. done.
Here are my deets:
Stamps:Â There She Goes‘ Spread Your Wings (sentiment)
Colors: GP White, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, GP White, Razzleberry Lemonade dp
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: silver 1/2 pearls, ribbon, dimensionals, label 4 nesties, nesties butterfly, sponge
