  12. Valerie, Each card is so pretty. Your little butterfly girl is so sweet and puts me in mind of the quilt pattern, Sunbonnet Sue. Love the pastels & of course the flittering butterflies. Once again, you've used a new product with the Brusho W/C, so will have to find out what that is. Your card is beautiful, and I like all those splatters & splotches that look like a bright summer's English garden (at least what I imagine an English garden to look like). It's lovely. TFS & Hugs

  13. Hi Mrs A, finally got around to linking my Fireweed and Butterflies card. I really thought the colours suggested Autumn but on a drive out on Monday I noticed that the hedgerows were just teeming with Fireweed ... and it's still summer :) Many thanks for inviting me to link it here.

  27. Hello, I'm sorry I've been a bit absent of late. Seems life is moving too fast for me. Not to mention, housework has finally raised it's ugly head and I decided to tackle my carpeting. Spent 2 days shampooing. I may just hire it done next year....I'm getting too lazy! Well, off to tackle another project...well, maybe I should just visit the other summer butterflies. Housework will wait. Summer is flying by! Have a wonderful week!
