Happy Friday everybody! We made it! Doesn't it just seem like some weeks are forever? That was this week for me. Glad to be home and done with my work week. Looking forward to some R & R with the DH and Mr. Buddy. Hopefully some stamping time too. What are your plans for the weekend? Our weather is gorgeous...85 degrees today. But, I hear it's supposed to be raining by Sunday. Spring! Whatever you're doing, I hope you enjoy the weekend!
A lot of peeps have emailed me asking about the new photo in my blog banner/header. I took that photo back in March on my work trip to Florida. CLICK HERE to see the rest of my photos from that trip. That is Miami Beach in all its glory. Isn't it splendid? My favorite is that cruise ship off in the distance. And, I love that blue color. When I took that photo I took it intending it to be a blog banner! I'm trying to think of that when I'm out and about...what shots would look good long and narrow?
Today I'm posting the last card of "Butterfly Week!" I hope you've had fun seeing all my butterfly projects. Today's card is back to the clean and simple style...with a pop of red! Take a gander...
The entire background is one stamp...from Hero Arts! It's so pretty. It has that text and then the pretty insects mixed in. Yum. I used a swirl stamp from Judikins to pop some red in the corners. The butterflies are stickers I got at Michael's. Really simple... I had the sewing machine out for another card so I decided to sew this one too. That's it!
Here is the entire "Butterfly Week" collection! TOO fun!
Thanks for stopping by! Hugs!
Wanda, I have loved all your butterfly cards!!! Such a great variety!! This one is just beautiful in it's simplicity (although I would not have realized that it was so simple!!) That is one gorgeous background stamps. TFS :)

I have enjoyed your butterfly cards. Today's is my favorite. I love the 'all over' stamp, the distressed edges, and the colors. Red is perfect for the card base alsong with the butterflies! Awesome! LC

I enjoyed Butterfly Week! I really loved today's card -- it looks "doable," except for the sewing...sewing on cards boggles my mind! Well, actually SEWING boggles my mind, period!
Lovely flowers from the Capitol, too.
Rain this weekend?? Can you believe it? It's got to get hot for the end of the month Jazz Festival, though - it's ALWAYS hot for that!
