I am waiting for the day when I start my description by saying.." I had all the time in the world to leisurely creat this card and even more time to upload it" , but that never seems to be the case. I mignt just start writing that anyway so I don't sound like a frantic lunatic. Since it has been raining here in Southern Calif. ("rain" and "California" - 2 words that usually don't appear in the same sentence) I have been going to the library to color on my lunch hour. This was a quick image to color with copics using the CC507 colors. I used the SC517 for the layout. Such a terrific, versatile layout. I have been using my unknown flourish die cut and MS pine branch punch a lot because they are out on the dinning room table and I am too rushed and frantic to search in the deep, dark recesses of the coat closet for anything else. The stamp is a postage theme for the WT508, and even though the colors are Christmas, there is no sentiment and I know a few people with birthdays now that I can use this for, so I included it for the F4A430 for a non Christmas card. I did make a second one of these with a Christmas sentiment. Well, I am rushing off like a "frantic lunatic" but hopefully I will be able to make another card..card making is my form of yogo. TFL, Francie

Oh, Francie, what an amazing card! It's gorgeous! I love the rich colors and the wonderful image with the beautifully colored butterflies! Wow, they are gorgeous! And what a beautiful layout with your gorgeous bow (wow, I sure love it with its Christmasy feel), and I love the gold flourishes that add such a wonderful, classy touch! Wow! Yes, I've said it again! But I'm not along in being totally in love with this card! Hugs, sweet friend, and I pray you continue to get the much-needed rain!

Breathtaking. I love all the elements and details. Your butterflies are colored beautifully, and they such a delight because they aren't normally associated with the holidays. But they are perfect! It's been raining a lot in northern ca too. We need it. Blessings!

So very GORGEOUS!! A thing of real beauty from the rich colour, to the homespun bow and frosted snow tipped postage. You DO look like you had all the time in the world to create this stunning detailed beauty)
