A Butterfly For a Friend

Quick post today . . I'm off to meet my friend Kim for some Stamp New England '09 business!! I'm getting so excited for this event - it's going to be so much fun!!

I've had this cute little butterfly from Say It With Letters for a while and finally finished it up a several weeks ago as a gift for my friend Christie. I had a hard time getting started - I think it's harder when you're making it as a gift rather than just for yourself! I felt all this pressure! It had to be perfect. . . it's not . . . but, I do like how it came out and Christie liked it so that's the important part! :)

The shape is so cute! I started out with paint but then ended up using some pretty Daisy Buckets paper. I stamped and cut out Flutterby Sophia and added her to the side of the sentiment which was printed on my computer. I cut the little butterfly above Sophia's hand out of the dp and also a few flowers to add as accents. The cool pink rhinestone flourishes are from Prima.

Have you checked out the Say It WIth Letters store lately? There is a fun Love & Valentine section and a HUGE kits sale!!
