Hi friends! Happy weekend to you! What's up? Whatcha doing this weekend? I am going to stamp the weekend away. Monday starts Taylored Expressions sneak peeks and I need to get all my projects done, photo'd and blogged before then. I'm almost done with all my cards, but there's lots left to do! Hopefully I'll get in some quality time with the hubs too. I hope you have a fantastic weekend planned.
Lately I am obsessed with YELLOW! I am drawn to it for my projects and it lightens my mood and cheers me up. It seems like yellow is everywhere! Whenever I hear the word yellow, I think of that Coldplay song of that title. The DH sings that to me and I like it when he does! One of my favorite Pinterest boards lately is my friend Lynn's board called Sunshiny Yellow. You really MUST check it out. I promise it will make you happy! Then, while blog surfing this week, I came across this post on the Moxie Fab World Blog. All about coral and yellow. YUM. I was inspired to say the least!
So to make a long story short…I was inspired by all of these things and came home tonight to get my craft on, and this is what I made!
I had a lot of fun combining all these elements based on coral, yellow and a little pop of turquoise. The butterflies are Martha Stewart punches. The background impression plate is from PTI and I'm sorry that I don't recall where the rosettes came from. The papers are from the Tropical paper collection from American Crafts.
I added the buttons to the rosettes, from my stash, and then added some pearls to the big butterfly.
It's easy to make your own stick pins! I bought a big batch of pearl pins from the sewing section of the craft store, and for this project I glued two butterfly punches onto one. Easy peasy.
***SMILE***
So now Mr. Buddy decided that no one was paying attention to him, so he had to get into this blog post somehow! He wishes you a nice weekend too!
Take good care everyone! Have a super weekend and don't forget to smile….
