Big, beautiful...

butterfly. :) I was so happy when I got this long desired Martha Stewart butterfly punch, and here is the first card made using it...

Using up some scrap seam binding here....


This card is for you, blog reader and putter-upper with my nonsense! I've so appreciated all the comments you leave me, and I keep promising a special giveaway and I keep not getting around to it. Soooo, while I don't have that special giveaway ready yet (it's still formulating), I do have a random, little giveaway here today!

Stella and Rose 6x6 Designer Paper Pad - I think this has most of the designs from all four collections, if not all. It's a nice little pad I picked up at my local craft store yesterday (the same one I get my white speckled cardstock from), and I thought it'd be a nice little thing to pass on.



So there it is! I've just cracked open this pad and made a super clean and simple card with one of the sheets - I'm loving all the sweet patterns in it, and I hope you will too!
Just leave a comment - I'll leave this open until...um, hm...well, until I feel like closing it. haha ;)
Oh, and feel free to let anyone else know about this little giveaway, if you think they might be interested in this paper pad - any random commenter is eligible. ;)

Have a blessed Sunday!

  2. This is a fabulous butterfly punch, I have both sizes and they have been well used. I do scrapbooking with the parent of our sick babies (NICU) and they nearly always reach for this punch. You are very kind to have this giveaway!
