Black/Purple Butterfly Album

Here is a small album I made a week or so ago with the paper I’ve been DYING to use. 

 It’s black and white, with purple/teal accents, and I used chipboard die cuts and pretty butterflies to decorate it. I’ve just got to add that I LOVE my cinch Kymberlee sent me for Christmas, and I LOVE the French Manor cartridge from the Circle. It’s my go-to for prettiness!

 I also included a beautiful flower I made with my cuttlebug quilling kit Kymberlee sent awhile back. I love making flowers with it. I have no idea what to do with the book, so I told my little sister she needed to get a purple prom dress so she can have it!

In other news, I am SOOO close to being finished with Whitney’s baby book. Just need to integrate seasonal pages with a safari theme! (So far I’ve got Santa driving a train full of presents, elephants, hippos, and lions for Christmas, and a snake coming out of an egg with bunny ears for Easter). I still need Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, and a page for their move from California to Colorado. Ideas please! I can’t wait to show pictures when I’m all done. It’s been a labor of love. 

Flowery Birthday Card

Here is a flowery birthday card I made using French Manor and Walk in My Garden. It's not what I had pictured, but fine nonetheless. It just so happens that this week's Circle challenge is to make flowers, so I think this counts! Yay! I've never entered one before, and it's random, so I've actually got a chance. It's an easel card, which is something I haven't made in awhile. I used a flower and brad to hold it up. I hand cut the flowers, and added pearls and ribbon. I'm kinda proud of myself in that I used all white paper for this card... used pink and green stamp/chalk stuff, and misted walnut dye for the wooden lattice.
