Have been so busy over the school holidays with relatives visiting from North and South and then Rattana commenced a new school this term.  She loves it and is very proud of her new school uniform.  Next big step is for her to catch the school bus from home, which is a two bus trip including a change at the Interchange in town. May not let her for a few weeks yet as there are so many kids changing buses there that I think it would be easy for an 8 yo to get a bit intimidated.  

I am just trying to finish off a few cards I have had mostly completed on the work table.  Did these this afternoon after collecting Rattana from school...

Using a white crayon resist method plus distress inks and yet another butterfly!

 Lovely piece of paper and with the addition of some further colour and butterflies, it looks great.

 I am sure you all know this little owl embossing folder.  Never do orange, but thought this combination looked so cute.  The tag was a mixture of a carl corner punch, pearls, distress inks and Stampin Up words.

 Love making hand made flowers with my scalloped circle punches.  Add a little glitz and it puts the WOW on
the card.  Of course the Martha Stewart monarch butterfly (big and small for dimension) looks great and some lovely pink roses for good measure.

 Again the crayon resist method.  So easy to get a good looking card very quickly.  The ribbon tied it all together!

 Well, it's not Christmas but this little Christmas bear was having all sorts of trouble with the Christmas lights.  A little curse was added with the words and then I thought I would use some of those many many quilled flowers that I make when watching TV at night!  Have to keep the hands busy!

 Crayon resist again with butterflies. Very pretty.
