Authentic University Of the Pacific Brand Card

I love this card! I created from mostly "recycled" paper products from another invitation that I received.

The main element on the front is a 5 layered butterfly (I know - I really like butterflies!).

This fabric tag from Little Yellow Bicycle was just the right colors and texture to add to the card. I covered the center that used to say "Authentic BOY Brand" so that is now says "Authentic University Of the Pacific Brand." It will be perfect to give to my fellow Pacificans!

Morgan, handmade Ribbon Flowers, and finding more butterflies

A fun layout with some new captures I have of my niece, Morgan. I scraplifted (scrapstole) the lovely layout "wishing" by July Gaceta on XOXO Girls Challenge Blog.

I really like how my ribbon "flower" turned out. If you haven't made these before they are very cute, and easy! You just need a strip of ribbon (in this case I used about 4") and you sew one side with a running stitch. Leaving a few inches of thread at each end to "pull" together. When the thread is pulled tighter the ribbon starts to form a circle. You just tie it and cover the center of the flower with a brad/button/another flower/etc.

Additionally, the larger white "butterfly" is made from two flourish stickers - I fudged the butterfly by adding the 3 white velvet brads and the antennae from wire. :)
