Have you heard that saying, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"?
That's my excuse/reason for not sharing this until now ... a ton of stuff has been overwhelming me. I've missed paper crafting, photographing, and blogging. I've missed participating in challenges and crops. But with the Lord's help, we're finding joys in each day and He's carry us through it all. What would we do without Him?!
I'm finally getting some time to thank Marie Isom--Marie with a :) -- and Gina Brandstetter for giving me this blog award last Fall.

I'm totally stuck on the pretty Lucy papers from CTMH! Flowers and butterflies are my all-time favorite design elements. The inside of this 5 x 7 card is blank, to be used as a notecard.
I used CTMH ivory cardstock, Lucy papers, Flutter butterfly shape, Lucy Glittery Rub Ons, the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the flower center, foam squares (under each scalloped circle), and a Pearl Opaque.
Other: sheer ribbon, glue dots, and Marvy punches.
If you haven't gotten your Lucy papers, whatcha waitin' for?
Just a reminder that you can browse the new Idea Book and even order fast and easily online by visiting my site: http://janeehaas.myctmh.com
Next ups: A CAS (clean and simple) card using more Lucy papers AND a two-page layout of an adorable itty bitty girl. Thanks for visiting my blog!
The Lucy paper packet and the Lucy Complements Glittery Rub-Ons are new items in the Close To My Heart Spring/Summer Idea Book. The Lucy colors include Blush, Creme Brulee, Sweet Leaf, and Grey Wool.
I used two rub-on florals on the front of the clear card (inside the Cricut-cut medallion frame in Hollyhock) and one on the inside of the card on top of the diamond-patterned paper.
The Sweet Leaf butterfly is a die cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. The Hollyhock paper butterfly is a M-S punch. The small printed butterflies are CTMH's Flutter Paper Shapes. Small glue dots and CTMH Bonding Memories help to adhere all the parts of this card.
The stamp "Our Love" is from an older stamp set, Celebrate Life. I used Hollyhock ink.
Clear cards are clearly my favorites when I'm in the cardmaking zone!
