Change is Hard.....

 Hello everyone: I'm trying new fonts just for the fun of it, I hope this one is ok for you guys to read it.

As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe, we still wear our masks inside stores and in crowded places.

I made this card today, hope you like it.

The sentiment reads "If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies"

This is so very true, and let me tell you, change, of any kind, is hard, just as a butterfly.

This is the INSIDE.

This is what I used.

The die cut is possibly from Memory Box, but I'm not sure.

The sentiment in front is from a SU retired set called 

"Flight of the Butterfly" (2008-2009)

The inside sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called 

"Orchids Rock" (Sold out at the moment😢)

The Butterfly on the corner is from "My Art C", 

I think it's retired, it's super old.

I want to play with:

Color Hues

Sweet Stamping

"I Spy Something Beginning with B"

Thank you for visiting me today and thank you for leaving me your comments.

Stay healthy and safe.

Berry Sweet!!

 Hello everyone: I always hope you and your family are doing well, keeping each other safe and healthy.

I have a "Berry" sweet card to share with you this late afternoon.

We had some really awful and scary tornado weather last night, the Tornado sirens started to blow at around 12:10am., it was intense and nerve-wracking for about 30 min. but luckily we had no damage to our home, and neither did our neighbors, all we had to do today was clean up the branches and debris that flew from all over the place and for that, we are grateful.

Here's my card.
