I'm rushing in with a crack-of-dawn, foggy Monday morning (weather and *me*...had yet another one of those sleepless nights...grrr...) to share my sort-of collage-ish butterfly card. The elements are an unusual pairing, but...I 'think' they work okay together.
My layout inspiration came from Freshly Made Sketches #185
Time to stare in my closet, to figure out what to wear to work (our classroom is a sauna one hour, a freezer the next), eat breakfast and head off.
Have a marvelous Monday and thank you so much for dropping by! Your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
Hugs,

Oooo! A lemon-buttery yellow butterfly! Beautimous! You knocked the yellow and gray scheme out of the park. As for what to wear, may I suggest zippable footie pajamas? They are nice and warm for the freezer bits, and when it gets hot you can just let the zipper down a little. Genius! ;)
You just keep rockin' those challenges, girlfriend! I love that you often use butterflies...they are so sweet, and such a signature for you! As for me, I'm still in my jammies. Waiting for DH to get up so I can get his list for the grocery store! If I didn't have to leave the house, I'd wear them alllll day, lol! I'm with Becca on this - footie jammies sounds like the perfect outfit! Have a great week. Bev
One of my favorite colour combos. Lovely card :) Sorry about the low sleep nights...peri-menopause can be a culprit. Melatonin is a natural sleep aid if you haven't tried it. Wishing you a great week.
Sorry for your sleepless nights!! HUGS

I am loving your take on the sketch Carol! Your butterfly is awesome, and I love the stamped "banner's", they are just perfect! Love the grey and yellow color combo too, I just did my spare bedroom in this color combo with the added white color. lol Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda
AWESOME card Miss Carol...just love the look you created with your signature critter "the butterfly". Just love your sweet card!
Gorgeously colored butterfly and just a card infused with class, hipness and collage-iness - so very sweet and I would love for that butterfly to just flit itself right over my way!! So fun and so delightful!! So, I sure do hope you are doing well and being awesome!! Thanks for your visits to my blog and your amazingly sweet and proficient way with words!! You are so awesome!!!

Oooooo. Love the way you incorporated this beauty with both sketches and the color que. Fabulous design. I love the collage-y feel. Wonderful work as always!
This is gorgeous Carol!
These elements do not just work "okay" together....they were MADE for each other! Good eye for an awesome combo! A bit of whimsy, a bit of elegance and bit of subway grunge! LOVE IT!
For me, those 'sort of collage-ish' stripes are fabulous, Carol ... so perfect as a backdrop for that stunning, sunny, splendid butterfly! Hugs, Anita :)
Sleepness nights are just horrible, aren't they? I do think the butterfly works well with the more grungy stamps. Clever pairing, Carol! Great eye for design.
They DO work very well together Carol, love the colours too! So glad you joined in the fun @ FUSION!
Perfect together!!!!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at FUSION.
Deanne :)
So pretty!! Love the butterfly, goes great with the background!!
