I do like butterflies! Their bright colors and fluttery way of flying make them fun. Plus, their presence means it's warm outside...yeah for Spring!

I decided to make this project a combination of several things I wanted and needed to accomplish. I wanted to participate in this month's Creative Block - Stamper's Anonymous Yahoo Group ATC swap for something grungy, and I needed to do a step by step on an Alcohol Ink Masterboard for Frilly & Funkie, and then there were the butterflies. So I made this card and 11 other projects from a Masterboard. You can see all the details and other projects at Frilly & Funkie's Saturday Step By Step.

I did not add a sentiment on this card yet, because I am not quite sure what I am going to use it for.

Supplies:

From My Stash: scrap backing from Wonder Tape (butterflies), black cardstock
32 Degrees North: Dresden Gold Lace Trim
Close To My Heart: wooden buttons

The Hat Makes The Man!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I cannot help but laugh every time I look at this tag! I think it is hilarious!!! I can just hear my little man saying "How you do'n?" if he came to life!!! He was so fun to make...the most fun I have ever had making a tag! I couldn't stop giggling! Sometimes I look at him and see a stand up comic acting like a Rabi! I can just hear his disgustingly funny jokes! Hmmm....I think I need to get out of this house, because it's sort of sad that I am envisioning my tags coming to life to entertain me!!!

I made this funny guy for challenge 39 at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group. I am also submitting him to the Sunday Stamper challenge of "men" hubba hubba, and to the Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge of "anything goes".

I am so loving Dylusions Ink Sprays! Fun times!!!

I am doing the kiss so I have another tag for another occasion...fun I tell you!

More fun to combine all these fabulous stamped images.

Looks a bit like 'Jason'...bahahahaha!!!!

5 o'clock shadow...lololololol!!!!

Time to put it all together. Stop staring at me!!! ROFL!!!
