Good Morning folks!!! How are you all??? Happy New Year to you all!!! I can't believe how quickly 2013 went - so how many of you made resolutions?? I decided not to this year as I never seem to keep them and so all I'm going to do this year is try a bit harder with my creativity!!!  

So I'm here today with some news…. I have been asked to be a doll!!  Yep I have rejoined the Paper Nest Dolls - I have such a soft spot for these images that I could not resist accepting!!! So I'm here today to share with you the first challenge for 2014!!! We have a nice and easy theme for you…

I had so much fun colouring her.  I printed and cut her using my cameo, the with love was also cut on my cameo - The wings on the sides of her are a magnolia die that I have never used till now - I decided to make them stand out a bit more by covering them with stickles! The butterflies were punched from my Martha Stewart using some scraps of kraft card I found on my mass clear up! The pin, cheesecloth flowers and gems are all from my stash :) 

Well I do hope you like her! I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

More Shabby Chic and Butterflies

Only me... AGAIN! I did say that I had been busy.... 

So one more to still make today and then we will be finished for the day... the rest will be done on Monday/Tuesday for delivery on Wednesday! Ok so I do have a few other small bits to do... but they will take me an hour or so... 

So I'm here to share the card i have made for my Mother In Law from hubby and I... I have to say I become completely stumped with making cards for the family, al least if someone else says that want a card with xx on it, you can do it, just never know what to make!!! 

Yes... I went back to the old faithful Stitch Bear Shabby Chic paper! I love it, I can't get enough of it!!! and YES the trademark butterflies with rhinestones. But sometimes staying in the comfort zone is whats best... well for me! LOL!

Im not going to rant on about how much I LOVE this punch again! 

I may try to find a new style one... If you have any suggestions please let me know! 

I used the paper on the inside of the card too, once again changed the opacity of it, and then added another lovely verse from a website! 

Well I still need to do dinner, get kids to bed, make some more cards and I may be trying something new tonight... If I have time and it works pop back... Im quite excited about what I'm going to do... Im picturing it in my head already!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Butterflies and Gems

Evening all, well had a very productive couple of weeks on the quiet!! My hands hurt but its all for a good cause. 

Lots of glue

1150 Rhinestones

200 Large Butterflies

50 Small Butterflies

Later... we have the finished products! 

Day Inviatation

RSVP Cards

And finally, Evening Invitations

I appologise for some of the photos, the first two were taken on my phone, hence why the colour looks a bit rubbish! They are all pink, its just the camera that makes them look funny.  I can't take them again as they have been collected and the Evening Invitations will be collected later tonight! 

I hope you like them! 

See you soon
