Doing a few creative things lately

I just realized that I've been a bit behind in my posting. I honestly have been working hard in our back yard. My husband and I have been building a beautiful picket fence for our vegetable garden and we have begun designing a privacy fence too. We are in need of replacing our basic yard fence and we decided some privacy would be nice.

I managed to make a few of these butterflies this week. These are great on cards and scrapbook layouts. I hand emboss them and hand chalk the colors. Of course I have to add some bling so they have some very classy bodies!

I also just completed a hand painted design for a birthday card. I used the bright papers and the design consists of white daisies with yellow centers. They look very pretty. I'll post the final card soon. Off to the yard for another long day of setting posts and cutting wood.

Take care everyone,

Darlene
