Hope

Happy Friday everyone and thanks for taking the tome to visit the charmed life blog. Well this morning completed my week with my grandsons. I got them up made breakfast and drove them to school. We had a good week together.
Now its time to get back to my routine. Although I loved the change and would never pass up the chance to spend time with my boys.

Now onto my card for today. I made this one for the "Hope you can cling to" challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Wendy was the hostess for the butterflies of hope challenge and she wanted us to make a card with butterflies.

Butterflies are a symbol of hope and renewal. One of my card colors is early espresso. I used it because brown represents comfort.

I also used blushing bride and pear pizzazz cardstock. My images are from Stampin-Up's "bliss" set.

On the blushing bride background I used the Stampin-Up tulip embossing folder.

I stamped the flourish image in early espresso on blushing bride designer paper. The butterflies are stamped in pear pizzazz and cut out.

I finished my card with early espresso ribbon and a ribbon flower center on my bow. My hope sentiment is computer generated.

That's it for this post so until next time..........God bless

Some other challenges:
1.  Raise the Bar blog has a "pink is in" challenge. October is breast cancer awareness month.
2.  Flutter By Wednesdays blog wants us to use scraps plus butterflies. I used a scrap of designer paper to stamp my image on.  I also used scraps to stamp the butterflies and cut them out.
3.  My Mum's craft shop blog wants to see cards that remind you of a song. My song is "fly away" by Mariah Carey.
4.  Tuesday Throwdown has a "think pink" challenge.
