Pretty butterflies...

 

I used a Spellbinder's curved border die to cut my two pieces of DSP.  The die adds a nice scalloped and stitched edge. 

I die-cut three lavendar butterflies that also had some stitched detail on them. 

I added a gem to each butterfly and lifted their wings with a bit of foam tape underneath each one.

A simple stamped sentiment on the inside finished my card.

I have found that die-cut butterflies help a card to sell quickly at the thrift store. People really seem to like them.

Last Friday, we attended a "Pops" concert put on by the Edina High School Concert Band. My granddaughter Polly plays trombone in the band and performed a solo during the concert. She was also part of a couple of dance numbers. That girl definitely has some great moves!!

On Sunday afternoon we attended a performance of Cantus & the Canadian Brass (the tickets were a Christmas gift from my daughter). Both groups were so talented and put on an outstanding show. If you ever get the chance to see them, don't hesitate to go!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
