Dimensional Butterflies & a GIVEAWAY

If you know me you know I adore butterflies.  I probably own every butterfly punch out there but one of my favorites and most used punches is the McGill Dimensional Butterfly punch.  I love the fact that one punch can create over a dozen different butterflies depending on how you layer your pieces.  A punch after my own heart.  This is the first card I created with this punch.

I think the Peony is my favorite flower...

I have to say I have always been an Orchid girl but the Peony is a Gorgeous flower.  Since designing for McGill I have falling even more in love with the Peony.  I love the fact that I can take a few different McGill punches and create this amazing stunning flower out of any paper I wish.

My First Publication with Cards...

I have been submitting my cards for years to Cards magazine and finally received an amazing e-mail a few months ago.  My first Card ever is published in the March issue of Cards Magazine... I am still excited about this.

I haven't submitted for a few months as I have been busy etc, but will be starting again today.  Not to mention my blog updating has been a bit on the back burner but I made a promise to myself to start making time for me each day.  With that said I am off to the salon.

Till tomorrow, Happy Crafting.

New addition to our family...

This week we opened up our hearts and our home to this little one...  Meet Fiona,  She is a Morkie (half Maltese and half Yorkie)

She has already filled out hearts with so much joy.  Even if she keeps us up most nights. hehe 

With all her 1 1/2lbs she loves playing and pouncing on Lola our 3 year old Min Pin/ Chihuahua.  She enjoys her toys, her crate, chewing on our hair and just cuddling up with us on the couch.  She is already spoiled like her big sister.. hehe
