FMS33: Butterfly Flower

Forgive me for a short post today.  I've somehow managed to hurt my right arm, wrist. and hand and am typing with my left hand only.  Not easy, but I figured I should go ahead and get used to one handed tasks; Laila will be occupying a lot of my space soon enough!  :)  Jen M. is our host at Freshly Made Sketches this week and challenged us with this fun sketch.
I'm having a renewed love affair with my Fun Flowers die lately!   I paired it with another old favorite, the Beautiful Wings embosslit.  I needed a pretty card for a good friend's birthday and I hope she liked this one.

Be sure to check out all the fun interpretations by the design team!   We are also having a call for guest designers, so check that out too!

Finally, my husband is having his gall bladder removed today, so keep us in your thoughts.
