Hello 65

Mona Pendleton | Tuesday, May 3, 2011 @ 3:00 AM | , , ,

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week! Thanks so much for visiting and for the sweet comments over the past several days during the Waltzingmouse Stamps previews :) I was stamping up a storm preparing for the release before heading out of town with sweetie. I am back home, well rested and ready to stamp! You know how much I LOVE Melissa Frances products right? Welllll, I am tickled pink to tell you that one of my projects is being shared today on the Melissa Frances blog!!! If you have a chance, I would be thrilled if you would check it out ~ click HERE :)
I made this card featuring some of my favorite die cuts combined with a few different patterned papers from the Melissa Frances 5th Avenue Collection. I made a fluttering trail of butterflies using both a Spellbindersâ„¢  Butterflies Two die template and Papertrey Ink Butterflies dies. Like flowers, a crafty girl can't have too many butterflies :)
Thanks so much for looking! Hope you have a great day ~ Be Sweet :)

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Fancy Phrases
Die Templates & Machine: Spellbindersâ„¢ Butterflies Two, Floral Doily Accents, Lacey Squares, Classic Squares SM, Grand Calibur, Papertrey Ink Butterflies, Tiny Tags 
Patterned Paper: Melissa Frances 5th Avenue Collection
Other: Vintage Crinkly Pink Bubblegum Ribbon Courtesy of Kimberly @ My Craft Spot
