It Has To Be Spring....

there's butterflies! Even if they are made out of cardstock it is still a sign right?  Wisconsin has been so cold, I'm more than ready for some warm spring days.  I have a garage to clean (graduation) and flower beds and garden to work on.  This year, I want to have a bigger garden.  I want our family to start eating a little better and cheaper.   Come on spring....I'm ready!  :)

This is not an original design.  These cute little butterfly easel cards were Bronwyn Eastley's idea.  Aren't they adorable?  They would be great for a girls birthday, wedding, placecards, or just little simple cards or even gift tags.

I like the daffodil delight.  It's so bright and cheery. 

 

BUT I will be honest w/ you--the Perfect Plum is my favorite.  I know that those who have followed my blog for awhile just about fell over w/ that statement.  I know I don't usually like purples, but look at the Perfect Plum butterfly...  beautiful!

 If you look up Bronwyn's blog, you will see that I did my easel a little different.  I folded mine down so that it matched the shape of the butterfly.  I don't know if it makes a difference either way, but I went w/ down instead of up.  LOL

For my butterflies I used the Beautiful Butterflies Die (page 206), the Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder (page 214) and Rhinestone Brads (page 187).
