Butterfly Gifts

Happy Tuesday friends.  I'm going to try to make this post pretty quick since Clara is chomping at the bit to go outside.  I've been going through all my stuff that I've bought to alter and came up with a couple of gifts.  I'm trying to get a jump on Christmas and birthdays.

My projects fit all of these challenges: Crafty Creations #81 Butterflies, Fab 'n' Funky #36 Flower Power, little red wagon #42 altered item, Simon Says Challenge make a gift, Crafty Catz #46 Buttons and butterflies, One Stop Craft Challenge ##94 not a card

Here is a couple of views of the mug.  I really like how this turned out considering I only paid less than a dollar for the mug.  Now I'm on the hunt to find some more.  I wonder if the $store has any that are similar?

Don't you just love the post-it notes on this?  I think I got it from the Target $Spot last summer.  I wish I had more of them.

Ingredients:

Paper: DCWV-Blossoms & Butterflies

Embellishments: Prima-Flowers, irock-rhinestones, Target $Spot-ribbon, making memories-button

Tools: Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly Punch, Tulip heat setter

Other: coffee mug, photo frame, post-it pad

Have a fab day everyone!

Post 1 of 4 today!

I know...4 post today! 

I have four cards that are due for challenges today and I really like to keep each one in a different post for labeling purposed.

Heres the first of the four cards that I made last night.  I just love TGF Stella.  Isn't she the cutest.  This was my first attempt at making "shiny" black hair.  With the help of a couple of utube videos and looking at all the wonderfulness on my BFF Rachel's blog I think I did fairly well.
