Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had a nice weekend...weather was good, got in some crafty time... On Saturday some of my friends and I held a Crafty Garage Sale! It was a pretty good sale and I got rid of some old stamps and stuff and made a little cashola...to buy more! We had fun hanging out together and seeing our friends come by. The weekend went by in a nano-second. Do you guys watch Amazing Race? Finale was great last night!! Love that show...we never miss it at our house.
So yesterday I was rummaging around the craft room trying to decide what to make and generally picking up stuff. The card I posted last had some pretty butterflies on it... I started to see a theme emerge... I have TONS of butterly crafty goods! So...I am declaring this week "Butterfly Week" here at A Blog Called Wanda! All my projects this week have a butterfly theme. I had soooo much fun creating these projects! Butterflies are a sure sign of Spring and flowers. I thought it appropriate!
Here is some of my butterfly stash!!!!
Here's my first card for the week. It's a shabby chic confection full of frilly, girly things. That gorgeous patterned paper is actually the packaging from some butterfly charms I bought! I opened the package and there it was...so nice!
Just a little bit of stamping...this card is mostly just paper crafting and combining elements together. That's one of my favorite things to do!
Do you feel like joining me for "Butterfly Week?" If so...put a link to your butterfly project in the comments section. I'd love to see what you're making too! See you soon!
Love that last one ... so simple ... love the red on top of the background stamp. Your blog banner is beautiful ... you're such a talent! et

What a beautiful shabby-chic creation, Wanda! I love the pink and green and love the packaging you used. The little doily with the flower and butterflies is so elegant and eye catching. :)
