I love my little bee stamp. It's from a Basic Gray mini set, purchased from <a href="http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au/products/index.php">Scrapbook Fantasies</a> a couple of years ago. This is the first time I've used it. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has lots of stamps they haven't used yet. It's hard to resist a new stamp. Don't you agree?</div>

I'm really on a roll, with two posts today. <br />
Candy at A Piece Of Me is hosting a <a href="http://cchelepy.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/card-colour-challenge-february-2013.html">Card Colour Challenge, </a>and I decided to make a card for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Butterfly card</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The colours to use were red, green, blue and white. All the supplies, except for the CC stamp, were bits and pieces from Page and card kits from classes at Scrapboook Fantasies. I haven't added a sentiment as I'm not sure what I might use it for.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Everything is a bit topsy turvy at the moment as we have decided to put our house on the market so we can move closer to our daughter. The thought of strangers coming through my house is a bit daunting. How do people who've sold numerous houses survive?</div>

Last weekend, with my friend Marilyn, I attended a 3 day scrapbooking retreat run by Scrapbook Fantasies. We both had a fabulous time. Especially enjoyable was the pyjama party, because what could be more comfortable than cropping in your P.J's? One week later and I've just finished unpacking. I've made time to make a page for Scrapbook Fantasies<a href="http://www.scrapbookfantasies.com.au/blog/2011/08/08/weekly-challenge-322011/"><u> weekly challenge #32</u></a>. The photo is of my great g.daughter Aleara, who is definitely a precious little girl.<br />

Using a previous <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sundayscleanandsimplecas/forum/topics/cas-challenge-may-29th-early"><u>Outlawz</u></a> sketch challenge, I made this card for my daughter just to let her know how much I miss her. She moved back home with us three years ago to complete her university studies. At the time she needed a little extra help because she's also caring full time for her 3 year old grandson, Zachary. Last month she graduated Bachelor of Psychology. It was a very proud moment that she has worked extremely hard for. <br />

I really liked the colours in the sketch so I've stuck with them for my card.<br />

Now I've had to move my sewing machines, overlocker, cutting tables etc. upstairs to one of the spare bedrooms because scrapbooking/card making has taken over my sewing room.

I don't know why I'm always on the last minute however it's due by midnight tonight so I've just made it as usual. I probably should have been working on it today but instead I spent the day with two friends cutting our fabric for a mystery quilt workshop being run by our local patchwork group over the next couple of weeks. Great fun! <br />
