Hello!! Happy Saturday! I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I'm at CHA right now enjoying the creative time with friends and bloggers. I so look forward to this every year. I always come home renewed and energized and ready to be creative. It's the one time of year when I can see my bloggy friends... And, not to forget, see ALLL the new products! This year I am particularly interested in the new things from Tim Holtz. Be sure to check out my A Blog Called Wanda facebook page if you want to see photos from the show floor.
Before I left I made one last card... I was inspired by this piece of cool map paper I found in my stash... Then I was inspired by some pretty Memory Box Dies... And then some Perfect Pearls... Well then this all sort of happened! Hope you enjoy. Talk to you soon!
The sentiment is from one of the Simon Says Stamp exclusive clear stamp sets. I stamped my sentiment in Corduroy Distress Ink. I used Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls mist (that's my favorite one).
I always glue my butterflies in the center with clear Tombow glue and then hold them down with my bone folder until they stick. That way you can fold their wings up and they don't fall off.
That's it for me today! Thanks for checking in and hope you have a great weekend! XO
Love those butterflies for a thinking of you card.

Oh dear... Hope you will have a blast at CHA... Wish I could be there as well. I'm sure you'll pick up lots of inspiration and share with us... Looking forward to that....wohooooo !!!
Thank you for the pretty butterfly card. What a great idea to cut them from a map background. I would never have thought of that myself.. But NOW I will...
Sending hugs from SPAIN

LOVE the map butterflies. That is just so brilliant. I like the tip for using the bone folder. Tend to stick my fingernail in there to hold it down but often put a nail shaped dent in the paper that way. This is an overall awesome card!
