MMM Masculine Game

Monday it is... Whew... start of a new week girls! Well todays House Mouse and Friends blog challenge is to make a masculine card. Now most think that football is a *masculine* sport, but there are plenty of women out there who love it as well. ME for example. hee hee I kept this very simple with just a little fancy framing and some brads. Guys are more simple when it comes to cards. I like how this turned out.

Butterfly Kisses

The sun is shining here today but man the wind is blowing, eek. My sinus are going crazy, not that you want to know all that. LOL Here is a little jar I had laying around next to some butterflies I colored a few weeks ago. Just now got to this project and put it together. I love the springy feel it has. I used the new set from Clear Dollar Stamps called Beautiful Butterflies. You can find this and the other new sets here.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Gift Set

Today is Tuesday and that means Timeless Tuesday over on Flourishes newsletter. Today Becca is challenging you to use your Spellbinders dies. I have a favorite one which is this curved rectangles. I am trying to work on some much needed thank you gift sets. So this was perfect. I was making a little bag to hold them and thought why not try to use the die for the box. Voila it worked. :0) I added sparkle around all of the frames and the box. Hard to see since I don't have much sunlight today. If you click on the picture you get a better view of it.
I hope you get to play along with the blog team. For those of you who play and link so they can find your creation you have a chance to win, what is the prize you say. Well read here to find out!
