Shopping Our Stash

After a much needed vacation, I have the creative juices flowing once again. Jessi came to visit my "washi tape" posting and when I visited her blog HERE, I immediately decided to participate in the "Shopping Our Stash" challenge. For this challenge we are encouraged to use a border punch that either we haven't used before or one we haven't used in a long time! I knew exactly which punch to use! I simply had to have this punch and obsessed about it till I finally broke down and bought it. Once I got it in my hot little hands....I had no idea what to do with it :-(. It has been hovering over me like a black cloud every time I looked at it. So today was the day to tackle this beast and finally get some peace of mind.


Working in my Butterfly Garden it was only natural that I buy the MS 'butterfly' punch. So here is the card that was finally created with this nefarious punch. Ha...I win!! I finally exercised that demon. I kept this card simple so that the butterfly border punch could take center stage. Now that the punch is out on the table, hopefully I will be able to create more cards with it.

Back to creating cards in my Butterfly Garden.

  4. Marie, you card is so elegant with the embossed lines and pretty MS butterflies. Sometimes I obsess, too, about the fun things in my stash. So pretty!

  6. *blushes* I'm so glad that you decided to come play along, Marie :) You ROCKED it! Although I've got to say, I'm glad I had company in the 'what do I do with it?' area, lol! The wire antennae & pretty pearl bodies are AWESOME - so much fab dimension!
