Neon butterflies...

 How on earth did I not Blog about this card LAST month?  Have I lost my mind?  Don't answer that, it's rhetorical!  Anyway, I received what seemed like a gazillion of these various shaped neon butterflies in a Secret Sister "reveal" back in the beginning of May.  It took me a little while to figure out what to do with them but when it all came together, this was the result and that was at
the end of May...
 

Every one of these cards was sent out to someone on my Correspondence List.  The majority left the house on May 26th.  I got a little embarrassed when, in one of my groups, they all started posting the same card.  They must think I don't make anything different.  Oh well!  I do LOVE to make multiples and I do LOVE to send cards, so I guess it's inevitable.  I also sent one to the woman who sent all these neon butterflies to me and I've yet to hear if she got a kick out of it...



HAPPY Father's Day...

I CASEd this from something I saw on Pinterest for MY dad... :)

Amanda's Art...

 I received this wicked fat envelope from a pen pal's daughter the week before my husband and I left for vacation.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do with some of it, so here we go...

 This was what was enclosed.  Eight sheets of her artwork AND a letter signed, "Your New Pen Pal, Amanda"...

 I fussy-cut the girl labelled "Elsa" and the orange flower.  I did a Google search to see what Elsa's coloring was and used my Copics to color her gown, hair and eyes.  She had what I think was a showflake in her hand and I couldn't cut around that very well, so I chose a punched snowflake to be in her hand instead...

 Found a frame I wanted to use from our stash...

 

 And started Mod Podging napkins, monoprints, punched stars and snowflakes and some red mesh from a nectarine case.  Since Elsa is from FROZEN, I added the label from my beverage of choice, Sparkling Ice.  Clever, eh?!!

 Almost finshed...

Added her name and the year and it's going back to her tomorrow with a letter from me...

What d'ya think?
