CR84FN70 - Big Hugs

Welcome to CR84FN70 with the PRETTY color combo of aqua, tan, and light yellow. 
 
***NOTE*** We will be going on Spring Break after CR84FN70 and returning on MARCH 24th with CR84FN71***
 
At first I thought I might have trouble with this combo but after looking at my patterned paper, it actually just came together!
Here is my card:

I combined three different patterned papers, some stitching, LOTS of scallops, and then mimicked the butterflies on the patterned paper with the aqua felt butterfly below:

I have a very special someone this Thank You card is going to!
Check out what the other CR84FNDT members have made for your inspiration along with our Guest Designer, Lisa Snowdy from "Adventures in Paperland."  Then add your creation to our gallery so we can come visit!

On a FUNNY note, I am going to share a photo I took of my two kitties sharing one bed.  They are watching me craft.  I think they look like one cat with two heads!  I should put them in the circus!
Houdini is all black and Pyrat's body is black with a white face and other white markings.  It is just an optical illusion caught in a photo!  Made ME laugh!
Have a GREAT week!  Until next time.....!

First, I am gonna miss you guys but can't wait til you get back from break. Second, your cats are so cute and I'm a cat lover too so this photo makes me laugh. (They are truly creature comfort animals, aren't they) Third, your card is so pretty and it made me chuckle that we both used dp from MME on our projects. Great minds, right? Love the felt butterfly and the mix of papers.
Hugs,
