Pretty Butterflies and a Fabulous Sketch? Yes, Please!

Today begins the month of May! YAY! Why Yay? Well, first of all, because it rhymes and that just makes it fun to say. Hey! That rhymes, too! And so does HEY! HAHAHAHA! I am SO cracking up right now! Just say'n. ANY...WAAAY... (*giggle* that rhymes, too...) ... I am quite ready for May, because quite frankly April was on the side of CRAZY INSANE MADNESS and I would love to say that I could hardly keep up, but it wasn't even that good...I totally DIDN'T keep up! So, I'm ready for the fresh start that is May Day! You? K. (HAHAHA!!!!...Seriously, you guys...I crack myself up with this rhyming thing!)

We have some BRAND NEW awesome guests over at Skipping Stones Design this month! Heidi Van Laar is our sketch artist and Jennifer Rzasa and Taylor Usry are our guests. I KNOW, RIGHT! All star cast, here folks!

Here is the card I created for today, but you TOTALLY have to head on over to Skipping Stones to see what everyone else did! The sketch is super easy and SO fun! You should totally play along!

Live the Life of Your Dreams


I used my FAVORITE SSD set, Healing Wings, along with some tape from Love My Tapes and fabulous paper from the Amy Tangerine collection by American Crafts! *LOVE!* I colored the butterfly with Twinkling H2O's for a shimmering watercolored look.

So...head on over to Skipping Stones and check out the sketch and get crafting!!! You know you totally want to do it and for a chance to win a free set of stamps? Really, folks? This is a no-brainer. Just say'n.

P.S. I'm gonna post another super fun card today, so don't miss that post, either!

Jingle Out!
P.P.S. Are you excited about May? I am. Yay! (HAHAHAHA!!!!) K. ;-)

    One of my favorite sets too!!! Used the same butterfly but in a bit different way. Beautiful card!!!

    excited for May? well I guess it means we're even closer to the end of school. Yay for that! My son is thrilled its finally May because he's turning 13 this month....a teenager. (sigh) I feel old now. ;)

    The grey and gold are very effective. I like the simpleness of this card but that scalloped border gives it a nice edge!
