 The image I was given to use is called "Butterfly Rose Corner" by Bugaboo.  Ever since I saw this image I wanted it.  Then I saw that we would be sponsored by Bugaboo and I got excited.  I didn't even have to buy it.  This stamp is actually a corner stamp.  The card I saw had used it like this and I just loved the idea.  Unfortunately, my computer skills are not that advanced.  I had to have my FABULOUS SISTER from SYDNEY'S SENTIMENTS do this for me.  She such a great sister and so extremely talented.  You should check out her blog and see what an amazing artist she is.     Anyway, after she doubled it up for me I colored one image and then colored the roses and butterflies again in another.  I cut them out and popped them up to give some dimension.  I used Glastique over all of the them to give some shine.  When I first started to make the card I wanted to put a simple scripture verse in it.  Then changed it to a sympathy card.  My aunt passed away and I thought this would be a nice card for my uncle.    My daughter is all settled in at college now.  She is enjoying her classes and making lots of friends.  I on the other hand am just crushed without her.  It's so hard to let your baby go.  I am so proud of her and happy for her.  I can't wait till the first break so I can have my baby back again.  I am truly grateful for Face-time.  At least I can see her still.  Here she is when she first arrived to school.  

I hope you have been inspired to create and enjoyed your visit.  Please stop by the LTSCB and check out all the wonderful creations and then join us in the challenge.
