Another CASE!

I had grand plans of spending full days of my spring break crafting the hours away.  But the reality was days full of cleaning out closets, laundry, grocery shopping, gardening, running DD to practice, and hanging out with my girls.  We even had a cookout and campfire one evening!  Not a bad way to spend a week, but it did make it a bit difficult to be completely immersed in creating.  So I did the next best thing.  I looked at other's fantastic creations and made my version.  Super creative...not really.  Relaxing and quick...definitely!

Today's card is a CASE of a card made a long time ago by my upline Kelly.  I loved the overall design of the card and after spending most of the day outside, I thought the butterfly stamp was just calling to be inked up!


A pretty self explanatory card.  Hope you have a wonderful day and a great rest of the week!

    That is one of the nicest sentiments and how perfect for this card. :) The butterfly is perfect and I see why you chose this layout...CAS and stunning!!! So glad you were able to spend quality time with the girls....that's better than any crafted card, I think. :)
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. Supposed to be a scorcher today...UGH!! Obviously Winter and now Spring have gotten lost.
    Hugs to you,
    Lisa xx

    A very charming and pretty creation, Margaret.
    Love the way you shaped the sentiment block, and the colours make me yearn for spring....but we've got snow on the way, so I'm a happy anyway...haa!

    I love your card and that fabby butterfly and quote, the CAS design makes them stand out and it's perfectly wonderful!! So glad you had some quality time with your girls!
    BTW, what a naughty friend we have in Lisa M. who played a nasty trick on us April's Fools. I totally missed it this year as we were in Atlanta on a family trip with the DS before he ships out for basic training. What are we going to do with her??? LOL!
    Have an awesome week,
    Lisa S.

    I love this card Margaret. The sentiment is just so perfect. I too like to get my chores done before playing but then I run out of steam and just can't get motivated to play:(

    Sounds like you had a wonderful break - and were able to create a few pretty projects, too. I like the colors, two rounded corners and center of the buterfly detail!
