Already Hump Day! That's what I'm talking about! :) Have you ever seen a card design and think, "I wanna try that?" Well, that's what I've said when I have seen similar butterfly card designs. I like my Martha Stewart butterfly punch (yep, I have two)! So, I stamped a design, then punch them out. I wanted a bit of pizazz, so I added some fun beads to the center. The colors were inspired by Loonie Stampers Challenge. Since I do not have PTI's scarlet jewel (yet, because I'm waiting to go to CHA), I used ColorBox chianti and wine ribbon (from my wedding stash). I think the colors are close enough. I would have never selected this color combo and still do not know what to think of it, but glad I tried something new.
Speaking of trying something new, I am training myself how to edit videos on the iMac using iMovie. Yep, you heard that right, videos. I will soon start my videos up again. They should be a lot easier for me to edit and upload. So, very soon expect to see videos again. I did post a fun "here's what I got" craft supply video last night. Wanna watch it? You can here. But, I will warn you, I'm a bit goofy! I am not used to staring at a camera lens, especially when you can see yourself on a HUGE 24-inch screen!!

Hi Ashley, nice video. I know what you mean about adhesive and sewing machines. I quickly realized the two don't mix. I love all the MM stuff you bought. I don't have the stores you mentioned; only Michael's.
You're adorable :) Thnaks for the tips... gotta go look for some oatmeal ribbon, it's beautful!
Hey girl... you are really trying to bring me over to the Colorbox side aren't you? :-) I think I'm going to try some of the smaller pads in multiple colors... are they just as effective as the larger pads (like you showed in the video)?
Ok... I actually have to do some work today... ugh, I need a vaca from my vaca! :(
TTYL!
Are you going to the CHA? I'm driving up to Orlando with some friends on Saturday, Aug 1st. Let me know!!!
Your video is great!! I love your room. You look so pretty!
LOL, I didn't think you were goofy! You're so cute... I hate watching myself on film. :)
Your card is so fun!
You're going to CHA? I'll be there on Saturday and I-CAN'T-WAIT! I already know I'll be spending some dough at the PTI booth, lol. Hope to see you there!
You are so darn cute!
Thanks for sharing your shopping adventure with us.
I have that ribbon pack and I actually used it...all of it...twice. Great pack! Loved the colors, very inspiring.
I really like the jet plane stamp too that you discovered. Humm, might have to hit AC Moore while I'm out and about tomorrow.
Looking fwd to seeing your space, junky or not. You're too cute.

Enjoyed your video! I agree with you about the colorbox inkpads on clear stamps. I also really like the colorboc chalk inkpads ....great coverage on solid stamp images.
