Bronze Butterfly

Begin with a plain white card base.  The entire card

front is covered with DP (designer paper aka scrapbook paper)

Over that place two difference sizes of Spellbinders beaded ovals.

The beaded ovals have an oval of DP that coordinates with 

the DP that covers the card base.

The flourishes and butterfly are from Cheery Lynn Designs.

The flourish is from a much larger die cut that has

been carefully cut apart.  (Victorian Flourish)

The butterfly has been cut from a bronze gift wrap that is

attached to card stock.

On Being Prehistoric

 I saw this phrase several months ago and it just stuck

in my mind.  I thought it was such a totally cute birthday

card for the right person.

 The stickers are from Hobby Lobby.  The puffy cutesy

ones would be great for a child's card.  

The realistic dinosaurs are wonderful for an adult.

The phrase is computer generated and the die cut

leaves are from a Cheery Lynn Designs die.

I have been gone from the blog-o-sphere for almost a

month. My part time job is agricultural statistics.

I gather raw data from farmers, ranchers, grain elevators etc.

I even go into fields and to counts and measures of

wheat and corn to assist the USDA in making the

 most accurate crop estimates possible.

Right now is the absolute busiest time of year for me.
