Another name for Butterfly is Papillon

I'm just under the wire on a couple of challenges.  But I think I'm going to make it if I type fast.



Play Date Cafe had some beautiful colors last week.  The challenge will close in a few hours and I'm so glad I got this in.  I haven't played with them in so long.  I always intend to, but somehow don't quite get to it.  I'm so glad I got to use these beautiful colors.


I used Pool Party, Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight.


The Less is More challenge is a One Layer Card week and the theme is



Three of anything that is, three colours, three images, three stamps, three words, the number three....it's up to you, but don't forget the white space, a simple design and just one layer!

I used three colors of ink for the splotches.  Oops, I'll bet this will be thrown out because of the black. Is black a color?  Probably, but it's not a spotch!  I guess I could say that I used 3 large rhinestones.  But that may be stretching it a bit.


The One Layer Wednesday challenge was over at Simplicity last week.


This week's OLW is to make a birthday card with LOTS of bling.  Your bling may be rhinestones or glitter or other shiny things!


For me this is a lot of bling with 3 large rhinestones and 4 small.


And last but not least is the CASology challenge.  This is the second week of this challenge.




Do you see my happy?  I'm so happy that I'm going to get these all in under the wire.  I've had the idea brewing for a couple of days and sometimes the ideas and creating time don't necessarily come together. 


All supplies are Stampin' Up!
