Butterfly #99 . . .

99??? Could it really be true that I have done 99 butterfly cards???? That just seems too totally unreal to me . . . WHICH MEANS . . . I only have FIVE more to go!! We leave on September 1 to go to Germany and pick up my son!!! WAHOOTIE!!! I can scarcely believe it!!!

I saw this Magenta stamp a while back and just could NOT help myself!! A butterfly "flap" stamp??? I think this is soooo cool!! Got it with a coupon, too, so THAT was happy!!! I did this for WT227 - Seeing Double. The idea was that we were supposed to include at least one element that was doubled. I used TWO brads, DOUBLE wrapped my ribbon, and used TWO of the 5-petal flowers. I am not quite sure about my coloring (getting into tight spaces can be tricky!), but I DID try to use colors that I don't normally put together . . . so there ya go!

I was asked to share more photos of my niece's wedding . . . soooooo . . . here is a picture I snapped of her (and edited a bit in Photoshop). I really prefer the "unposed" looking shots to the totally staged ones . . .
