Butteryfly's--Snails--and--Flowers....Oh My!

Hi Everyone!

Happy Tuesday...Well, it is snowing here in Texas.  Living in central Texas, we do not see snow very often.  However, people here just FREAK OUT when it gets cold and icy.  I stopped to get gas this morning and you should have seen these people carrying water jugs, milk and things out of the store in bulk.  It was crazy.  It's not like we are going to be snowed in for days people :o).

Anyway, it's good weather to get some major crafting done.  I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get into my craft room.  I finally sat down last night and made some cards for my Garden Expo booth next month.  Tell me what you guys think.  I always love hearing from you. 

This first card is one that I made with my scraps.  I am trying to use up all of the scraps in my drawer(sss.)  I have become over run with them.

The butterfly and love are cut from Home Decor cartridge.  The black & white paper is from a K&Company pack.  I inked the edges, added bling and ribbon

I'm not too sure about this card.  I decided to go ahead and post it, but it didn't turn out like I had pictured it in my head.  I got two of these really cute bottle cap embellies as a gift and wanted to use them.  I used my Paisley cutllebug folder on the top layer.  I inked the edges in purple, added a flower, ribbon and the bottlecap.  I got a cute chat-im-text stamp at M's that I stamped it with.

 I just LOVE this little guy!  My friend let me use her Walk In My Garden cart.  This cart has some of the cutest cuts on it, and is just perfect for the Garden Expo booth.  This snail was cut at 2 inches.  his shell is from a DCVW paper pack called Pink Armadillo.  I added some orange buttons to his antenaes (is that what you call them on snails? and did I spell it correctly :o)  I added ribbon, a strip of pink and a Stampology stamp.  I stickled a little eye on him...or her...  Did I mention that I love this cartridge!

This last card is also from the Walk In My Garden cartridge.  The background paper (top layer) is from a stack that I received as a gift.  I'm not sure where it is from, but I love it.  I cut the flower pot at 2" and the tulips at 2" (I think.)  I used a strip of green and cut it with my shredding scissors to make grass.  I ran the pot thru my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder.  I added the pink top layer to the tulips and inked them, and my edges.  I zig 2 way glued the tulips and then pop dotted the flower pot.  I used the hello stamp from a Stampology set and added pink ribbon.  When I was done, I realized that my flower pot wasn't centered on the card.  Now, a normal person wouldn't worry about it...but because I am a bit freaky, it was bothering me.  I'm sure I need therapy or something.  I found a little snail (I am into snails now) and added him to the flower pot.  I think that helped my flower pot look a bit more centered.  I think it looks like he is crawling up the pot??  What do you think?

Thanks so much for atking the time to visit my blog.  I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! - Robyn-
