BUTTERFLY TRI-SHUTTER CARD

Happy Friday all!! I am a little late posting because I let myself sleep in this morning - aaaahhh....it felt good!!!! I feel rested, and motivated to STAMP!!! So, I thought I would share a fun card I just finished that I have been wanting to try which is the trishutter card that Beate did such a fab job demonstrating!! I think I will be making a few more of these babies, they are FUN!!! I used my stamp sets Flight of the Butterfly and Petal Pizzazz. Such a great card to play with because you have so much decorating room, lol!! And, I got to try out my new butterfly punch which is fabulous, no more cutting them out, just one press and they are done!!! Here is what the inside of the card looks like when you open it up - too fun, right??!! The papers are from the marvelous card kit I got at PaperPopsicles this month, I just love everything Melissa has over there! And, today is Freebie Friday for their digi images - yep, you can get a FREE IMAGE ONLY TODAY so hurry on over there and get one! It is a really cute little summery image today - yep, I got mine *wink* So, now I am off to run a bunch of errands and then meet my handsome hunk of a husband for dinner with the kiddos later tonight!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend - and I will be posting for tomorrow's SSS challenge, so make sure you check back in for that, you don't want to miss that!! Thanks for sticking with me - I really appreciate all of you who leave me such sweet comments! MWAH!
