Hello

I received this lovely paper from Mrs. A as a prize in one of her

butterfly challenges and was waiting for a challenge it went well

with.  I added Yale Blue, Element of my choice: die cuts,

and of course butterflies.  Hellos die cut is by Pinkfresh Studio

and the butterfly is Stampin up, I inlaid the wings.

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

You guessed it friends, it is the fourth Wednesday so everyone's favorite at 

The House this week: anything goes.

Here is my card:

We recently had a new sea wall put in and my husband wanted a 

thank you card for the owner of the company that built the wall. I 

won't get into the full story but it was very difficult  and long process

to find someone to build the sea wall especially at a somewhat

reasonable price.

I used one of Wendy's many fabulous lighthouses: 

Cape Hatteras Light  and Gulls in Flight

Embossing folder:Tim Holtz Brick texture

Die cut: Stampin Up
