Thanks!


Hi!  It's a rainy day here today, so I thought it was the perfect weather to hang out in my craft room for a while!  I know I will be knee deep in wedding preparations in a few weeks, so I need to get in my Maggie time whenever I have a few free minutes.  I colored this image with Ranger Distress Inks, Copic Markers, and Prismacolor Pencils.  I used my Spellbinders Imperial Gold Labels 4 in two sizes for the framing on the image.  I also used that for the narrow lace trim on the sides of the card.  The butterfly was made using a die from Papertrey Ink and adding some pearls to it and a bit of distress ink too.  The leaves flourish is by Cherry Lynn and the flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts.  The mini tag die is from Magnolia Doohickey and it is stamped with a Close To My Heart stamp.  I don't think I have mentioned this before, but all the different doilies I have been using under my cards in my photos are made by my mom.  I have a buffet drawer full of them in whites, beige, and ecru and they are in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
