Lately I love working with this butterfly die template, it's so pretty and delicate, I couldn't help making another card with it. When I started this card, I had a completely different idea in mind, but I'm happy with the way it turned out, so I will save the other idea for a different day LOL!! And who doesn't like working with Prima paper...
Sorry I've been absent lately, I've mentioned a few times that DH and I bought a Houseboat, and we have been working like crazy to do a few things to it before they put it in the water. DH has sanded, primed, and re-painted the entire thing, and we are having the pontoons completely sanded and sealed while it's sitting in dry dock. I've been cleaning the inside, and of course making changes to the decor to make it more our own. Plus, I've been working for City Hall the last couple of month's to help close out some files, and last Wednesday was my finale day (back to retirement). Now I'm working on CHA projects that I'm way behind on... But I do see a light at the end of the tunnel, and things will get back to normal soon. I do miss sharing with you, and can't wait to get back on schedule.
Thanks for visiting - Linda ❤❤
