This card is for 2 challenges:
Clearly Inspired Challenge #32
Mojo 199
The design sketch is from Mojo Monday and the color scheme is for the Clearly Inspired.

The color scheme is lime, turquoise, ginger and mud.  

The butterfly stamp is from Martha Stewart.  I first stamped it with Stampabilities light green, but then I decided it was way too light, so I stamped over it with Distressed Ink peeled paint.....But then I decided that was too dark, so I stamped over it several times with the light green again.  Sometimes you have to just keep playing with something to get it right.  LOL!
The sentiment is a Just Rite stamp in Momento bahama blue.


Thanks for taking a look!

Glory Be!! I'm back!








Oh my gosh! After what seemed like forever, we finally got the office finished and put back together and I can go back to making cards.  My hubby says I can't wipe the giddy look off my face.  I will confess that I almost wept when I finished my first card.  Silly...... it may seem to some but it made my soul happy.  Today's posts are a set of eight cards that is a kit from Basic Grey called Curio.  I got the kit at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington TX in June.  I bought so much stuff there that it's kinda embarrassing.  This set has wonderful vintage papers and embellies.  I had never purchased a set like this before but I certainly will again.  These cards turned out really nice and I was able to snap them together in a matter of hours.  I'm thinking that I might give them as a set as a gift.

Thanks for taking a look!
