The weekend is over already? It went by super fast today because we had to spring forward one hour. It always takes me at least a week to get adjusted to the time change. I hate that! Anyway, this weekend was very encouraging, inspiring, and full of creativity. On Saturday night, I cropped at Scrapdoodles. That store has EVERYTHING in it and I love it! I picked up some great finds that I didn't think existed. Don't you always find stuff when you say I'm not spending any money?! The chipboard flourish and the vintage pom pom trim on today's card were some of the 'hot' new items!
This card was inspired by the Loonie Stamper's Challenge for the week. This time, it had nothing to do with colors or layout, but your project must include BUTTERFLIES. I'm not sure if I qualified because I only used one butterfly! I think I must have used the rest in my K&Co embellishment pack! Anyway, this card transformed itself into a vintage feel. At first, the butterfly sat there in the center (with the ribbon/trim) all alone and it was so NAKED! So, I remembered my chipboard flourishes and added one of those. From there, I made it a vintage card and distressed everything.
As a side note, does the sentiment on this card make you think of the Golden Girls intro song..."thank you for being a frieeeeeeeeend." Sorry if I put the song in your head now!
You all...have a great Monday and thanks so much again for all of your support, encouraging words, and for participating in my Birthday Blog Weekend!

Love it Ashley!! Love your hot new buys. Prima is one of my TOP favorite companies and I did not know the vintage pom poms existed either. And the yellow....one of my very fav PTI colors. Makes me happy.
Wow! You really made us Loonie's cards look like dollar store versions! Love it!
Sooo pretty and springy! Love that teeny pom pom trim!
Wow... I never would have thought yellow would look so good on a card.
Great job!
