Blingy Butterfly

Hi Everyone.  Happy Thursday night.  Oh Yeah!  It is almost Friday! 

I saw the challenge across at Pals Paper Arts this week….. Bring on the Bling….clean and simple – with bling…mmmm…. just my style! Then.. I saw this case across at casestudy.  Ooooh…. it felt like a marriage made in heaven….. so……it gave me a great excuse to bring out my rhinestones…. and pearls! 

I decided it was about time my Beautiful Wings die saw the light of day.  I then decided on a wedding card.

Here's what I came up with

Ppabling

Card recipe:

  • Card stock:  Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Marina Mist
  • Stamps:  Papertrey Ink
  • DSP:  Marina Mist Patterns Pack
  • Ribbon:  Marina Mist satin ribbon
  • Bling:  Basic Pearls, Basic Rhinestones
  • Tools:  Big Shot, Beautiful Wings die

On a personal note: 

Lou is finally on his way home.  He called me from the airport.  He will be home tomorrow night.  He will be home tomorrow and then away for Monday and Tuesday.  Then, we will be spending two whole weeks together.  Just each other.  How cool is that!  I can't wait.

Today… the weather was gorgeous.. and I mean… gorgeous.  How sad that I wasn't able to get out and enjoy it.  However, during our time off, we will be getting lets of fresh air and reading time and just enjoying each other time.   We really need that.

Soozie… I hope your Mom's operation went well.  Beth and Missy, we haven't seen you around much, I hope the two of you are doing OK.  Germaine, I hope you are doing OK, too.  Prayers for you all – and for Rose.

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday.

Hugs

Jaydee

  2. Jaydee, yes, my mom’s surgery went well! But then she had some heart issues in recovery, so she ended up in ICU for 24 hours. That was scary because I didn’t know why and it was really just a precaution. She did well today and they got her UP and walking a little with a walker.
    They say she’s doing amazingly well, compared to most 90-year-old ladies having this surgery. She’s also entertaining them all with her funny comments! She also told me to be quiet and let the physical therapist do her work (when I was cheering her on!). That’s just how she is – feisty, and that’s probably why she’s hung in there so long.
    LOVE your card, Jaydee! You used a LOT of your bling on that card! I always think about if I want to use a whole string of pearls/rhinestones! Heehee….
    Hugs,
    Soozie

  4. I do love butterflies….. your card is simply breathtaking and beautiful! Thank you for thinking of me Jaydee, will write soon, our internet is so slow, I go to sleep…. take care all of you I do think of you all and thank each one for your prayers, I am doing much better, but there are some scary moments! Pri came home Tuesday evening, and we got a couple of hours to chat, it seemed like she had so much to say, so I just shut up and listened… Chris dropped her back to her place and I cried all evening/night – although I must say I was happy for her making the attempt to come home to see me! Praise the Lord! She seems to be doing all right, but deep inside I think it is another story!! I tried very hard not to say anything!! Have a wonderful weekend ladies – Love and hugs to all!

  5. I do love this card, rather yummy! I use my butterfly die a lot, a little bit different to yours. Love the colours you used, Marina Mist will be on my next SU order! There is so much in our SU catalogue that I just “have to have”!!

  6. Wow, that is a lot of bling! I wouldn’t have the patience to put that much on. Nice wedding card ya have there….I need that card! lol
    Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy Lou being home.

  7. I’m blinded! Being the magpie that I am I LOVE the bling, and as always I’m amazed at your execution. If I’d tried to this I’d look like a 4 year old did it, but yours is perfect. I like the little trail behind the butterfly and the big pearl after the Mrs just seals the deal. FANTASTIC!
    So glad to hear Lou is on the way home, hope you two get to enjoy some of the sunshine today. It’s supposed to be the last nice day for a while~70 degrees at the end of October? I’ll take it!
    Germaine, it was so good to see you commenting today. You and Pri continue to be in my prayers, sending a hug your way. Have a wonderful Friday One & All!

  8. Okay, this card is just FUN! Lil said she “LOVES it!”. :o) Talk about blingin’ out a card. Wow!
    Germaine, so good to hear from you. You and Pri continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Jaydee, I’m SO happy Lou is coming home. I’m sure you are used to him traveling, but it’s always nice for them to be where they belong–by our sides. :o)
    Prayers to all who are in need.
    Happy Friday!
