Here is another Splitcoast challenge. This one was to stamp simply: pick a simple layout, some favorite paper, a pretty stamped image, and add ribbon and/or embellishment if we wanted. I wanted. I always want to add embellishment!!
I used an old Heidi Grace striped paper that I've had about 1/2 a sheet left of for several years. I love these colors ! They immediately made me think of my dragonfly stamp, which I then had to make sparkly. I don't know if you can tell, but there are itty bitty rhinestones on each wing! I love the words that are in Unity's Butterfly Beauty kit. "Soul" seemed a simple sentiment, although I don't know what you send a "soul" card for... maybe as a "just because" card?
Baby still isn't sleeping great. We quit the sleep training because he got a bad cold about a week ago, and wasn't even able to sleep in his crib for a couple of nights. He's still not back to 100%, but he's doing much better--just a drippy nose, mainly, and an occasional cough. He won't go to bed without being rocked, and he's up at least twice every night, including his one night feeding, which happens at around 4 or 4:40am. Then he won't go back to sleep without MUCH assistance, and then only until 6 or 6:30, which usually ends up only being an additional hour at the most. Before he was sick, letting him cry when we put him down was SOOOOOO HARD.... but I want sleep! And I want HIM to get sleep!
Well, have a great Sunday, and Happy Stamping!

Very pretty card. I have not used this set much but should.
this is so pretty!
What a beautiful card! I love how you did the ribbon! Hang in there with your son. I had two boys who had trouble sleeping. I couldn't let them cry it out. I'll be thinking of you!
What a beautiful card - you make it sound like it's so easy! I hope you get some rest later in the day - 6:47 AM is much to early to be up and blogging!
Oh, I love those purple and green colors! And the Unity butterfly ROCKS! Great card!
Very pretty! Great design and color combo!
I love everything about this card! It is beautiful!
So pretty. I've been admiring the simplicity of your work and the images that you use. I see they're mostly Unity stamps. Uh oh! I'd better not even go look . . . .
