I am so excited...I actually had a little time to make a card. My stash is shrinking by the minute. I have been able to find enough time each week to see a few cards in the gallery and to post my favs. But, free time is similar to my scale...for weeks I will be 5 pounds heavier, and then for no reason I will be 5 pounds lighter. I used to have time to make more cards, and now I am lucky to make one, and there does not seem to be a real reason for the lack of free time. The CC colors were wonderful this week, the F4A challenge to use designer paper made me stretch a little, and the MIX challenge to use something fluffy nearly sent me over the edge. It is hard to see, but the butterflies have velvet effect white dots, and the teal butterfly has some fuzzy stuff on her wings. TFL, Franvie

Stunning background - bright and beautiful. Fully understand the "not having time to create" and missing it so much. Glad you found the time to yourself to create this wonderful card.
