This is one late card for last weeks Featured Stamper - M (aka Stamp Muse) or affectionately known to some of us as 'The Divine Miss M!' M and I started on SCS about the same time and I have loved seeing her along the way!! I would have been sad to have missed her special occasion - so M, I hope this is a case of 'better late than never!'
I was inspired by this card of M's: FS122 - Butterflies to You from Me by Stamp Muse at Splitcoaststampers
and made it last night but have so much trouble trying to get a good photo...today has been very overcast and windy, so any photos outside were ghastly, so I had to resort to PLAN B.....one of the main problems with the photographing was the silver panel...now those of you who know me, know that this is recycled...now what could today's be from...Apple Pie...and yes, DH saw to it that I had a good supply of it! LOL!
The beautiful butterfly is from a set that Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn - Happy Birthday Peggy!) sent me in the most amazing RAK, the flowers are from the lovely Sabrina (aka okay1mom2girlz) in another gorgeous RAK, the rest is from my supplies and pretty self explanatory really!
Thank you for looking and all of those encouraging comments - it is always such a 'buzz' when I see that you have been - wouldn't it be great if we could visit in person!! I have set aside tomorrow to get caught up with a few cards and get organised with a Layout. I have Scrapbooking tomorrow night and my Su demo and friend, Ann has just arrived back from the USA today and informed me via email that she has made a dent in the Stampin' Up Industry...so I can't wait to see what she has brought back!! I hope you are having a great day!! God bless you!

Yes, it would be great if we could meet in person!! Hop on a plane, Linda!!!! I was thinking of as I was out walking, and wondering how cold it gets in your part of Australia in Winter, as I was realizing that summer is winding down here.
I am certain that the Divine Miss M will love this beautiful card! That silver panel is gorgeous - and you have done a great job photographing it!! I can imagine how difficult it was! Beautiful flowers and just a lovely card!!

Linda if we could meet in person and spend time stamping and getting to know each other would be a dream of a life time!!! I love how you ran the silver through the CB! I'm off to give this a try. Beautifully done!

You have picked one of my favs of M's cards. In fact, I did not have to go see which was your inspiration as it is now sitting above the left side of my desk!
What a pretty case Linda; I like how your version is all Linda! I love the recycling. My aunt has given me her pie plate bottoms to try this. So cool how you both inspire me!

Oh, Linda, this is definitely soooo YOU! I love it! You did a great job with the apple pie tin with those pretty flowers and butterfly. Thanks so much for including a butterfly; you know I love 'em! Sweetie, I am honored that you were able to play. It means the world to me to see your creation in this gallery. Thank you so much! It sounds like you have a lot of happy stamping ahead of you ... enjoy!

Yumbly! First thing I thought was 'what a lovely tart tray, how nice of the Lolly Man to help Linda'! Lol- I was not wrong! Linda, you get more involved each day and bring more ideas to the table! (Or is that from the table?) Hmmm....What a great tribute to M. Love your paper piercing and sponging. Yum-bly!!!!! LYMI

I thought I had commented on this card Linda, but I don't see it. Hate when that happens. Oh, you surely did do The Divine Miss M proud on this case. When I saw that card of M's, I thought about your, so I thought it was neat you chose that card. You did a fabulous JOB Linda!! Wow, that silver embossed panel is amazing and love the b/fly, flowers and paper piercing. Beautiful!! TFS!
