SSC Week 130

The theme this week on SSC run by Hels is Butterflies, so how could I resist, lol.


I would normally have put at least one grunge paper butterfly on this, but as it's also a birthday card I decided that I was fed up with paying excessive amounts for postage, just because one adds a few embellishments to a card.  I reckon that Royal Mail have got wise to us crafters and decided to make more money.

Used the usual DI's, mostly T!m's stamps with a few others thrown in, can't remember who the main one is by, and I just can't be bothered to go back into my craft room  studio to find out.  I've even put a bit of glitter on this, OMG, will have to go and have a lay down now, something must have happened for me to use glitter.

  4. With or without embellishments it's another masterpiece. My hubby would say anyone using glitter is a terrorist.. I'm not allowed to use it unless it's glitter glue. xoxox Ann

  10. Isn't it maddening when they try to jam your envelopes through that narrow slot on the gauge and then announce it's going cost extra to post? Luckily glitter won't cost you.

  11. Beautiful card Ann even with glitter but it is the glittery season. I agree with Paper Paradise the stitching always seems to finish a project.
