I wanted to use the Color Blue but the card I had in mind, I needed to tweak a bit more so I went with this Beautiful Butterfly card.

DID YOU KNOW? There is no blood test, no scan, and no image that can detect Autism. Diagnosis relies on behavioral observation and screening.

card from most recent buffet

Here is a card that we used on our last card buffet.
This card was fun to create. We stamped gorgeous grunge all over the card, then embossesd it with The Happy came from the hello you thinlets from the occasions mini. 

The birthday stamp came from the crazy about you stamp set and the two are sold separately or as a bundle. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
We are getting closer to our Stamp out Autism blog hop
Be sure to come back.

Butterfly thinlets

This card was made at Valentines Day but never got used at any of the card buffets.

I used the sale a bration DSP Irresistably yours.
Silver and Red Glimmer paper with the butterfly thinlets and Red card stock with Red Ribbon and White cardstock for punching. It was fun to make and I love it but so sad that I just found it and never used it. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I am trying to post something daily again and see where it goes.
My daughter is in the process of building me a new blog but not sure where she is with that.
Have a wonderful day everyone

Butterfly Bliss

This Butterfly stamp is beautiful but now you add the framelits to it and wow, I love them both. 

For this card I used Swallow tail stamped in Wisteria Wonder ink on White and then I cut the Butterfly thinlet out of Blackberry bliss and glue dotted it to the center of swallowtail. I stamped the thank you from Lotus Blossom in Blackberry Bliss ink and adhered the card to Blackberry bliss card base.

Thanks for stopping by today.

One of the cards we made last weekend at our card buffet.

This card was inspired by created by one of the Founders Circle achievers and I can't find the original. But I changed it a little by embossing the lost lagoon piece with the Stars Embossing Folder. I got a lot of wow cards from those ladies. 

Thanks for Stopping by today.

Take the catalog and Get at least $100 in orders from friends and family, or book a (New) party and I donate my commission

On December 10th I will add up all the $100 orders and all the $150 parties and I will donate all of that commission to 1 persons family. 

Here is how I will decide what family to give to......
Everyone that participates will give me 1 name and phone number and I will put all of the names in a hat and draw one lucky person. 

Or, if I get alot of participation, I will draw more than one name.
