Good morning! This week's challenge over at the
Noel Mignon Challenge blog, is no use of Designer paper.....of any kind! Rub ons,vellum, and Hambly are OK........but no patterned paper!
It definitely was a challenge, since usually I love layers and layers.....but that's why they call it a challenge right? I used the
Sun-Kissed and Lemonade Stand kits. The background is a Hambly transparency, the butterfly is a Jenni Bowlin rub on, and I added a few, stickers and buttons. The little fence was from Hobby Lobby in their wooden crafty section....and knew I could use it somehow on a future LO! I added several Thickers to spell out my niece's name...since several of my letters were missing!

The letters were outlined in black Sharpie to give them a bit of pop!

I love the look of this great big butterfly! I am a bit butterfly obsessed these days anyway!

Head on over to the
challenge blog to see the rest of the DT's fabulous LO's! We hope you can join us in the, "No Designer Paper's Challenge!" (You can win a prize!) Don't forget to pick up the newest kit,
"Office Party." There are only 8 left! : )

And just a quickie update......my air conditioning in my hunk of junk van was fixed. Apparently, it was low on Freon and was checked for leaks. There were none......so they filled it back up and so far......so good! My bathroom tub is out and the new handicapped accessible shower is in! I've cleaned and put everything back and Cortney tried it out for the first time yesterday......ding, ding! I think we have a winner! : ) And a lot less stress on my back! The family and I went away for 3 days last week to French Lick, Indiana for a mini vacation and had a really good time. There is something about going away that helps us to reconnect. We swam, played golf, went horseback riding, took a historical train ride, ate out a lot, and took nature walks on their beautiful garden paths. So needless to say.....life has been busy! But it's all good!
