I love this pre-colored freebie at Scribbles Designs so much that I made two cards. The first, with a beautiful purple hydrangea background paper, features the entire sentiment. I added an exclamation point with a scrap of the hydrangea, plus printed off two copies of the large daisy in the middle of the “W” in the word “Flowers.” One was used to "dot" the exclamation point, and the other embellishes the inside sentiment. 

 

I had some fun making the second card, with colored daisy background paper, by trimming the last word (You) from the digi, enlarging it, and moving it to the inside of the card. As with purple card, I added an exclamation point to the inside sentiment, but this time I printed off an extra copy of the letter “L” to create the top of the exclamation point. I again printed off one copy of the large daisy in the middle of the “W” in the word “Flowers” to "dot" the point, and printed off several copies of the daisy, reducing their size to create the three ‘period” punctuations on the front page.

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends- #211 AG

Paper Funday- #56 Anything Goes      

I had fun making this sweet card, using a Dis Digis sentiment, and an step card base that I upcycled from an old card from a friend. I selected the digi because it includes a delicate little butterfly, which allows me to enter it in the current Butterfly Challenge (one of my favorites!), which is called “Pick a Row with your Butterfly.” I picked the middle row on the chart- Design paper/Flowers/Stepper Card. An added note- All the wonderful images in Di’s Digis shop are  50% off until September pops in. (This means this sweet dig and so many others are just $1.50 for a bit longer. So just hurry to Di’s Digi to nab the sale code and start shopping!)

I’m entering the card in several other challenges including Inspiration Station’s Photo (butterflies flitting among flowers),  and wecraftcards BINGO (first column), Outlawz’ Tuesday Color Photo inspiration (my card features three of the five  colors plus the twist), and My Happy Place (my card is inspired by Bunny Hop, a theme park in Germany built to delight very young children.)
