I have been meaning to post this FOREVER! I have a million thank yous that are MONTHS late, and this post is just one of those  on the list. Time just flies past me. Since I haven’t been able to stamp (in over a week!!!!!!!!) I can dust off some forgotten creations I created.

Alexa got the sweetest package (as did I :D) from a woman in the Netherlands named Erica E. I don’t have a blog address for her, but I pray where ever she may be, she sees this, as my Thank You card is quite late, as usual. I want her to know we have not only received it, but it was just a great surprise.

I can’t even tell you the list of TY’s I have going, and am months behind! I still have to post Amber’s party. YIKES. That is just the beginning.

So here is the amazing tin she made!

 for Alexa!

Is that not adorable? I’m not sure what  company this image is from, but I think she is so cute. How am I suppose to let Alexa use this?! LOL! Its just too pretty. I always have a hard time letting go, and doing that. I would freak if even a corner lifted due to the use from my precious 9 yo!! I put it on her special shelf in her room, where some other awesome things my stamper friends have made reside-on display.

She also sent handmade bracelets for the girls (my photos are blurry :C so I need a re-take them)  which they LOVED and both used for show & tell!! She included  some grow in water insects for Noah. Really sweet. He is currently growing the spider. THANK YOU!

Then she sent along this HUGE stack of images from that same company as the image of the girl on the tin for me 😀 A real WOW! They are all so cute and stamped and cut perfectly!

She then wrapped in this purple organdy bag-personalized for me.

You can’t tell but its a LARGE stack, that must have taken FOREVER to stamp! Each image is different. Erica if you read this you are one crazy, and amazing lady!! Thank you so much for making our day. It was a true treat.

So inspired by these new images, and her tin, I made Erica a (LATE) Thank You card, using my favorite image-the butterfly!!

Butterfly bugz

I was inspired by her circle on the tin, and ended up with this creation , as a result. I was really happy with it. I love the colors-bright and cheery. It was a joy to use this image, and cut it all out. I colored the bug in vibrant colors. The wings haveShimmerz in pumpkin, on them. I loved using the plastic flowers too. I had them for a while and finally dusted them off!!

The round element is pierced, and the sentiment is from PTI’s Remember set.

A simple looking 5  square card, but the little details make it pop I think. I really LOVE that butterfly! LOVE! I hope Erica shares where the images are from. I think ONE of each isn’t going to cut it for me. I need to pick some up for myself 😀

Anyway, thanks for letting me share that with you all. I need to get the photos of the bracelets and a few other amazing things as well.

PLEASE pray I get to stamp sometime soon. Im going INSANE! I need MY TIME!!!

Till tomorrow
