Love Is Like A Butterfly

Hello, ladies!

I started this post on Friday, but had to leave

before I was finished, and the rest of the weekend

was so crazy busy, I never got back to it.

Sorry about that!

I'll get to the winners of last week's

happy mail in just a sec.

First, here's another card I made with the

Echo Park "Be Mine" collection.

The first one was my Design Team sample

for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.

You still have three days to participate,

if you haven't yet!

No stamping involved here.

The sentiment was part of the collection pack.

Thta was my first time ever ordering a whole

collection pack and it was great!

Lots of pieces you can coordinate with.

Just look at all those gorgeous strips of paper!

I couldn't choose which ones to use,

so I decided to incorporate them all!

Okay, so onto the happy mail winners!

As I said, I picked one winner from each blog,

and they were Cheryl and Laurel.

Ladies, please email your snail mail addresses

to penciledwhimsies at gmail dot com.

As for the rest of you, don't worry if you didn't win.

Happy mail will become a staple here at my blog,

with the next one being a sample of the

collection pack I used on todays card.

So stay tuned for that! I won't say exactly when

 it will be, but it won't be too long.

If you're not familiar with my happy mail giveaways,

they are open to any of my blog follwers,

and come with one small request:

please make a card with some of the supplies

and then link back here and let me know

so I can see it and so that other people can

find out and participate in happy mail!

Thank you all so much for making my

first guest blogging stint such a pleasure!

You ladies rock my world!

Smooches!
