Spring Butterflies

Hey y'all, how goes your Wednesday?  We ended up with a couple of inches of snow yesterday but to my relief, Ryan still had school today : )  Daphne loves the snow, she keeps asking to go outside every 10 minutes so she can play in it again.  I was smart this time and shoveled off the back patio so it won't be all icy and slick there.

Anyway, there may be snow on the ground outside, but it looks like spring in my craft room.

I bought Sketched Butterflies when SU! had a sale on bundles last fall and I got two other ones that I don't think I've even inked up yet, but I've enjoyed this one.  I started out with the AAA Challenge:

Butterfly in the skyyyy, I can fly twice as hiiiigh!  Okay, I might be stretching the CAS part just a little bit, I felt like the patterned paper block needed that thin mat to offset it from the Petunia Pop card base.  Even for CAS cards I like to do colored card bases.

Speaking of colors, check out the Sunday Stamps challenge:

I translated that to Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pebbled Path, and Basic Black (which is the only one I didn't use).

Supplies, all SU!

Yesterday I got an email from Daphne's foster mama, who had Daph and her litter mates when they were just 4 weeks old.  Look at this adorable potato!

She said that all the puppers had a bad case of fleas and they were so young that the only treatment was a bath with Dawn dish soap, which Daphne absolutely Did Not Like (and I can confirm that she still doesn't like baffs).  So apparently things started out tough for poor Miss Daph.  We know she was adopted by someone else and then returned to the Humane Society months later, which is when we got her.

And here's what she looks like at 10 months old:

Ryan thinks she's even cuter now than she was as a baby potato.  And now our baby girl has a loving home, lots of toys, and absolutely no fleas.  And I for one am very glad to have her : )
