More 5 Ways.....

Welcome back!

I'm thinking I should call this post 5 ways Wednesday!, but as I've already shared 3 of those 5, I feel that would be cheating a bit!  Perhaps that could be a new feature on my blog? let me know what you think.

The card I'm sharing with you today makes use of the stamp set from the bundle this time, and I've used the doily stamp to decorate my sentiment panel, and as the recipient of this card loves orange, I couldn't resist using some of that fabulous butterfly paper,  It comes in 12 x 12 sheets that are double sided, gorgeous colours on one side and black and white on the other, if you love a spot of colouring there are a couple of sheets in the pack which are just crying out for some colouring pencils or pens! To make it even more of a must have, some of the sheets have the right size of butterfly on the coloured side to match the punch that co-ordinates with the Butterfly Gala suite, Stampin Up! does it again! and what's even better is it could be yours for free with a £45 order during saleabration, I'm already hoarding 1 pack for stroking!! (only a crafter would understand that!)

And the final of the 5 ways, (that I've come up with so far....there will be more!) was for my swaps for team training at the weekend, I spent most of the weekend in bed struggling with a nasty cough and temperature but dragged myself to team training, being careful not to breath on anyone, and these were the swaps I quickly made on the morning of the training, I've used the doily die again to create a kind of lattice fence effect behind the adorable cat from Nine Lives, and made some grasses using the Bouquet Builder dies, as my cat likes to hide in the long grasses which grow in my wildlife area in my garden in the summer and it made me think of her.

And just for cuteness appeal here she is...... meet Bella,  she likes to 'help' with my crafting and usually lays across my projects on my desk, I have to keep an eye on her as shes a ninja paper chewer!!

That's all from me for today,  happy crafting.
