Hi everyone, dont die of shock second post in less than four days - when was four weeks silence before that!
However, I must join up with two dear friends' challenges - *Mrs A at Butterfly challenge and *Darnell at the Twofer! Didn't manage either of last time, but these options are easier!

Here 'tis!
Over at the Twofer it's blossoms, Butterfly it's as shown on wheel .. did all but lace!
So did Lavender, Lemon, Light Blue, Layers, and Letters and of course Butterflies! On the Twofer, the items used on both cards were:
1. Blossoms from MB Lavish Branch (very tedious cutting them, in first card they're inside the butterflies) 2. CCD Stitched Flag Dies, 3. Butterfly Punch, 4. Corner rounder punch, 5. Bling same one on both 6. Snippets, except for two bases all else snippets (but playground shut at minute), 7. same DP was used on both, and two different occasions too!

Now to the Aussie shots... it is pineapple time again. There were two pineapples ripening, I missed out on one as a bird ate it while I was away end of Feb, found top but that was it. Should've picked it before I went, but thought it wasn't ripe enough. This one was small, see my thonged toe on left lower corner, but oo-oooh so sweet, yummo! Best ever!
Centre leaf is lying on the ground, you test if pineapple is ripe by pulling centre leaf. If it comes out cleanly it is ready to eat. Still left it two or three days extra inside though.

May God bless you in your day wherever you may be, and thanks so very

You cards are so pretty, great use of your butterflies. Your pineapple looks so wonderful! Much more yellow than the ones we get here. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful CAs cards Shaz!! Love the simply design of the first one and the sweetness of the second one! Very lovely Spring feel for both!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a dear, Shaz! I'm glad you played in Twofer Card Challenge #3 and Mrs. A's Butterfly challenge! It's very much appreciated! Your cards are the very essence of spring! I love both of your designs! You put in a lot of time and effort and they are lovely with lots of texture! So jealous of both the fresh pineapple and the seaside!! Blessings and hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteTwo such pretty cards and looking completely different even with using the same embellishments. I love the blossom tree. P.s. I would have accepted a lace die cut border or a lace pattern stamp. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel . Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful blossom cards and I love the spring like colors. I can see you put a great deal of thought into making them too. And, that looks like a yummy pineapple and a great beach scene. Thanks for entering in the Twofer Challenge #3.
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely gorgeous Spring cards! Both gorgeous colours. Love the photos, the pineapple looks yummy! xxx
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so pretty and spring like! The tiny flowers in the butterflies are such a sweet touch and the many blossoms on the branches looks spectacular!

ReplyDeleteLoving your cards- such pretty Dp and the butterflies are so pretty! I enjoy seeing the pineapple and how you test if it is ready to eat- love pineapple!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo adorable blossom cards Shaz! Love the sweet flower centers used on the butterflies, and the tree of blossom card. Lots of die-cutting and arranging, but so worth the work as both cards are so sweet! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge!
