Hum

...feeling too lazy and uninspired to come up with a better blog post title today. ;)

Here's a card for the CFC55 (bling), Crop Stop (pearls), Simon Says Stamp (gems), and A Blog Named Hero (kraft and blue) challenges.


So wishing I had gotten the Antique Flowers and Butterflies die and stamp set when I had the chance...could've saved me some time on this card and looked a bit more professional. ;)


Added some glitter to the center of the butterfly just because glitter is so darn pretty. :)


I'm obsessed with making these ticket borders! So quick, so fun, and so cute!

Thanks so much for stopping in today and have a blessed one!
