Vellum butterflies for Cas-ual Fridays

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I have a card for you tonight, a gift tag, as well as some photographs! Firstly, I saw a challenge across at Cas-ual Fridays that I couldn't resist. A clean and simple card with vellum. Now... there's two words to get my heart racing! I immediately thought of my new butterfly punch and the fabulous Patio Party DSP. Here's what I came up with.

This and that

Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. I don't have a card for you tonight, but I do have some more photographs. Before I show them, I realized I hadn't actually told you what the big birds were in this post. they are, in fact, Sandhill Cranes. We knew that they were in the vicinity - we saw them flying overhead in March when we came to look at the house. We hadn't though, in our wildest dreams, thought that we would find them wandering through our property! You can read all about these magnificent creatures on wikipedia here. So, I have a...
