Hi there! Hope you are all having an amazing weekend! It's time for a new CR84FN Color Challenge! Thanks so much to all who took on CR84FN41 ~ as always, so many awesome projects entered and such sweet comments left :) Please join us in welcoming the ever so talented Mackie Robertson as our Guest Designer, who will be joining us over the next 4 weeks. Her beautiful designs may be found on her blog: MackieMade Paper Creations. For the next two weeks, we will be playing with the pretty color combo shown below. The beautiful photos featured in the graphic are Courtesy of: Beccarillo Photography.

I needed a Thank You card to send off to a sweet friend who did something very nice for me. I pulled out a few PTI stamp sets and Melissa Frances patterned paper and this is what I came up with:

I added a few "homespun" buttons made using a PTI die that has been neglected as well as the pretty little butterfly stamp and die that has never seen daylight since it arrived at my home! What time better than now to make good use of all these goodies that I paid good money for only to sit in my craft drawers?! That butterfly was just asking to be sprinkled with glitter!

Thanks so much for visiting! For COMPLETE details, please visit the CR84FN site and for some fab inspiration, please be sure to visit the CR84FN designers and our current guest designer: Mackie Robertson (Guest Designer), Suzanne Czosek, Lisa Somerville, Stephanie Kraft, Sue Lelli, Deborah Frings, Andrea Mathews
