Hi everyone! I had a very unusual evening...not one person was in my house last night except ME! Woohoo! Stamping time! I actually had some relaxing creative time, using the As You See It sketch:
And the beautiful colors from Create with Connie and Mary:
I finally ordered the Butterfly Basics set....not sure what I was waiting for, but I was convinced that I didn't need another butterfly set, LOL! But isn't it pretty? I paired it with Awesomely Artistic; they just were made for each other! I stamped a whole bunch of their images on top of the photo "frame" as well as behind it; added a couple of different washi tapes; put some vellum in the corners (which are a wee bit difficult to see) and tied it all up with some Lost Lagoon baker's twine and a really old sentiment from Small Sayings. Oooh, so much fun to create!
Thanks for visiting today!
Cassidy made some playdoh cookies and sandwiches, and had a wee impromptu tea party/picnic on the patio:
She had to cut up the "sandwich" so her baby could eat it!
Enjoy your day!
LOve your collage card, LeAnne ... I may such a mess of things when I try this! Truly you were meant to have that lovely set of butterflies! I want to tea party with this party girl!!!

Ohhhh, ahhhhh....you creation is a collage work of art! Thanks for playing along with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful, LeAnne! What a fabulous collage and you slam-dunked both of the challenges. What a treasure a little alone time is, isn't it? Glad you were able to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card LeAnne it's a great interpretation of both challenges. And of course you did need another butterfly stamp set. You can never have too many butterfly stamps really can you? :-) Thanks for joining us over at Create with Connie and Mary this week! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collage card LeAnne. You always do such a great job with collage cards. Yes, these butterflies are so pretty. I like the little fiber knot you and bits of washi tape you've added.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see that Cassidy can actually have a picnic outside there. We got a bunch more snow last night - yuck- can you believe it::!!! It's April after all!!
Wishing you a great weekend.
So pretty. Love the colors and the pretty butterflies. Great collage.
ReplyDeleteLove this LeAnne! Great collage as always. Nice use of both sketches... Barb
ReplyDeleteI love those rare times when I'm home alone too! I agree with you that Butterfly Basics and Awesomely Artistic are made for each other and you've amply demonstrated that with this joyful collage of images. Thanks for joining us this week at As You See It.

ReplyDeleteHi LeAnne! This card is beautiful! I love the colors that you used (I must try this combo as I am a huge fan of all three!) and the way you incorporated everything just makes my eyes happy! Beautiful! Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteI know I've said it before, but I love how you've been documenting Cassidy's life in your daily photos! She is growing so big and is just beautiful! I love the collage feel to your card...and you never can have enough butterflies! Such a great arrangement that makes a truly beautiful card! Thanks for playing along with the color challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you resisted that butterfly set this long either LeAnne! I love the collage feel to your card - you really are so good at this! The washi tape and little know of twine are nice touches too. A great entry for Create With Connie and Mary this week!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your beautiful card LeAnne! There are so many fun details and love the little touch of Washi Tape! How did you resist that butterfly? Thanks for playing along this week at the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo many stamps and textures...and you made them work so perfectly together! Awesome! Congrats on being a Top 3 pick at Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I start? I LOVE this card so very much! My fav details are the washi tape and the little piece of colored twine on the side of the frame. It's all absolutely stunning though! Thanks so much for for playing along with us this week at As You See It Challenges! I'll hope you'll join in our new challenge posting tomorrow morning!
