Love is like a Butterfly

it goes where it pleases and pleases where it goes.   Isn't that beautiful? I've always loved that saying.



Tonight I used The Sweetest Thing: Sweet Sunday Sketch #134 with this beautiful new 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye Vanity Fair, I just love the colors in this paper!  I also used cardstock & ink from Stampin Up and fabric paint called Scribbles on the butterfly.  The stamp set is from Close To My Heart.  Ribbon is Making Memories Flower Patch.
