This week our cards are going off to the family of Karin, as she goes through some real tough medical issues. So cards of support and prayer are needed. The cards are also coming to my home state, California!
This week our cards are based on a quilt. I can say I know the love a quilt shows and holds. I have one that my Grandmother made back in the 50s and 60s. I can pick out dresses she made for me and a stuffed animal I still have. Quilts are timeless treasures.
The dp for this card is G45, the front and backside. I used Labels One and Decorative Labels One, with the Square swatches for the quilt pieces.

so pretty...LOVE that butterfly paper along with that gorgeous blue its set upon...and I agree...I hope quilts never go out of style as they are a touch of love and history...oops mean LOTS of LOVE and a touch of history...:0)...TFS
P.S. after i hit send I had to add too I just realized as well how you did the antennae for your butterfly...I have that punch and I think that is one neat way to add them ...TFS

Jennifer this card is just as you described a quilt - full of love and warmth! Your easel card is beautifully done with your nestie choices and beautiful paper fabric. I'm sure this will bring comfort to Karin and her family!
