You Are A Great Friend!

Hi everyone, thanks for the sweet and wonderful comments! I'm so lucky to have so many amazing blogging friends!! Real quick card today, not much stamping! I turned the Bo Bunny's patterned paper inside out, so after I cut the butterfly shape you can see the lovely pattern. Love the Making Memories' Flower Patch journaling book, it's ideal for making cards and layouts!



We are going to Oahu, Hawaii. Here is a picture I found online. I promise I will share the photos when we get back!
