Butterfly Kisses Blog Hop

Welcome to the Butterfly Kisses Blog Hop. Today my friends and I are having a hop to celebrate Kari's one-year anniversary of her blog which is Jan 20th. You should have come here from the talented Lynne. If you just happened upon my blog please hop over to the beginning at Kari's blog so you don't miss any of the fun.

We have the best sponsors for our hop that will just blow your mind!!!

1. Shannon Keith Leffew has a gift certificate for flowers in her Etsy Shop
2. Creative Kuts a $20 Gift Card at http://creativekuts.com/
3.     2 birthday cards made by her, Stamp Set from www.gettingcricky.com PLUS $10 Gift Certificate for Little Scraps of Heaven 

The only requirement for this hop was to use butterflies.

For my project I made a layout of my niece's little girl. I love this picture of her looking in the mirror. To make the background I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the butterflies in pink and then used glimmer mist by Tattered Angels. I added gems in pink and green to the mask butterflies and added these to the right side of the layout. The butterflies trails are made with Imaginese gems and the i-rock. The chipboard butterfly is from my stash, the title letters from K&Co. Patterned paper is from DCWV. Dot for question mark is cut from a doily and a mirror dot is attached.

Next stop is Janet. Hop on over and see what amazing project she has created.
