Thinking of You

Hey all! I have a quick post for you today with a card that I made a few months ago but haven't shared yet.  I'm taking a break from pricing garage sale items...I really don't like getting ready for garage sales!  Anyway, on to the card.


This card is mostly about the ribbon.  I adore this ribbon a lot! 



Here's a closeup of the butterflies.  There are 3 of them and I layered them all together and then stitched them with my sewing machine.  The top and bottom layers are felt and the middle layer is acetate.  Really makes a fun embellishment.




I also wanted to let you know that I am extending the sale in my Etsy shop for another week.  Originally the code was going to expire yesterday, but I am going to keep it active until NEXT Wednesday, May 11th.  The code to save 10% off everything in my store is: SPRING.  And, it was requested that I ship to the UK so I now have a shipping option to those of you there!

Here's a reminder of a few of the rings you'll see in my store:








Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a great weekend!

(P.S.  Have you started swagbucking yet?  I just turned in more points for another $10 in FREE Paypal cash!!  That makes $25 in Paypal that I've earned and I have enough for another $5!  LOVE it!!  If you sign up through the link I provide you, I will receive credit for referring you!  Win, Win!!)
