So here's a lil' card I have to share with you that uses the sentiment from the Baroque Nested Frame's set from JustRite. I stamped in in Olive on cream cardstock. I used a scalloped paper punch and distressed the edges. The butterfly was cut from a pair of Cortney's shorts, using a Spellbinder's die. (Yep.....still using up her crazy plaid shorts!LOL!) I dyed my own seam binding with Glimmer Mist and Coffee grounds (Tutorial HERE if you are interested. ) and plopped the butterfly right on top of it. I added a button, twine, and 2 pretty stick pins to finish it off!
I was complaining to my husband yesterday that there was no coffee in the house. (We are long overdue to grocery shop.....can you tell?) So this morning I woke up to a card that read: To My Wife
You do that one thing.
You Know?
That one amazing thing?
I love the way you do that thing......
Then you open it up and it says: I call it, "putting up with me!"
HA HA! And best yet? He went to the store very early this morning and not only bought me coffee but made me a pot!

Thank you for the many birthday wishes! I appreciate them so much! It truly warms my heart!!
Have a great weekend! : )
