Hello...well, another whirlwind weekend visit to see my family - we've just walked in the door - and to stave off the inevitable missing for a few minutes more, I'm popping in with some cards to share. Before I do, let me just say: oodles upon oodles upon oodles of fun with my niece and nephew! Stories definitely on the agenda for later this week, but I'll share one highlight (of the zillion that happened). Picture: almost four year old niece clamped to one of my legs; almost two year old nephew clamped to the other. "Small" battle being waged (thankfully, pulling me apart like a wishbone wasn't 'quite' part of the kafuffle), at rather high volume. Their sibling rivalry issue?
"My Aunty C"!
"No, MY Aunty C"!!
" NO. MY AUNTY C!!"
And no, I didn't intervene...I was basking in the joy of feeling mighty darn special. Winner of that round? Me! Oh, how I love those two munchkins!!
Today, I'm sharing a set of four little notecards, featuring the lovely butterflies from Clearly Besotted, inspired by
CB Challenge #8
and
Fusion #4
Again, another round of simple and little...(the butterflies on the envelopes, also CB, were from something that didn't work quite as I envisioned, so they were rescued and transformed toenvelope decor)
Time to unpack...
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visits and comments make my day!

Best kafuffle...EVER!! Ahhhhh, the special moments, huh?!! Could anything be better?!! Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound, and I can NOT wait to hear the rest of the stories of your weekend adventures with the kids! Seriously, how on earth did you manage to make not only the sweet thing you posted previously, but to make these soft pretties as well while you were away?!! You must have travelled with the MCU again ;) !!! Gingham + polkies....what a cool combo! Perfect bling choice, and fab graphic green and sketchy yellow background stamps for these sweet minis! I think it must have been "meant to be" that those butterflies didn't work out on another project, because I think they found their perfect homes on the envies! xo
Darling cards and I just love the story :) Nice to be popular and well loved!
WOW, I can see how you would be in the middle of a tug of war!
And my, I would also fight over these butterfly cards!! Beautiful!!!!
