Butterfly Artwork by Hart Things & Butterfly Wings

Yesterday, Lukeyloo & I went to our first Farmer's Market of the year.  We visited my friend Liz Bladorn's booth with her amazing artwork and totally fab setup.  I had to purchase this beautiful butterfly print of her's.  The frame is what pulled at my heart saying "buy me".  The butterfly is amazing with trees in it's wings.  This beauty is already hung in the dining room.


Liz has a great blog you can check out HERE.  It is called Hart Things & Butterfly Wings.  She does amazing photography, graphic art, and is truly inspirational.

Whimsical Flower Card

I was in a fix to make a cute, quick card for my sister Emily for Mother's Day.  She is Lukeyloo's godmother.  I found this card below on Pinterest and used it as my inspiration.  Click HERE to visit the site that the card is from.  It is in what I believe to be Russian but the pictures helped translate! 
 This is my version of the card....

I let go of my A-type personality and free-hand cut the circles using the Joy Ride 6x6 Paper pack from Cosmo Cricket.  It helped to cut one size and then use it as a guide for the other patterns of the same size.  I folder craft paper to make the stems and used a simply tan paper that I scored using the Martha Stewart scoring board for the "pot".  To make the pot, I scored to lines on each side. I then folded and glued the first fold on the inside.  The pot was looking a little boring so I added some sticker words from the Authentique Blisful line.  I love the saying!
