time to celebrate!

 This is post 2 of 2 for me today…click HERE for my Chickaniddy Crafts project.
Hello, post number two for me today.  Evidently I thought today was the 25th when I was scheduling my blog posts earlier this week…more on that in a bit.

I generally don’t like to post multiple times in one day but I was so inspired by a couple challenges AND I needed a birthday card for someone at work.
This card kind of took a life of its own.  I’m super happy to have used a highly neglect A Muse wood mount butterfly image that I’ve had for years…the ’14’ is from Avocado Arts Days & Months set.

I used bits & bobs from a couple collections including:

MME Market Street
Freckled Fawn
Studio Calico
Jillibean

I was inspired by the current

Obviously, the overall design of my card was inspired by Wida.   I was also inspired by:

arrow (freckled fawn glittery arrow)
butterfly (a muse butterfly)
gold (embossing & confetti)
word strips (Jillibean & mme)
splatters (confetti)

I was also inspired by

I was inspired by:

pegboard (swiss dot embossed panel)
wood desk top (cherry wood veneer strip)
graphic print (butterfly embellishment)

So I accidently scheduled my PTI blog hop post for today…wrong day!

I’m sharing it since I’m inspired to created something else for tomorrow!


Thanks for stoppin’ by!

Need to get back into the groove, but for now i will just look at your GORGEOUS cards that are here–love both, esp. the CASE entry- and all the ones that keep flickering from your FLICKR feed in the corner of my eye!! When will I see you again??
