Happy Saturday and last day of March, everyone!! I had this post all ready to go yesterday and when I opened the draft this morning, it was completely empty!! The title was fine but no post whatsoever...grrr, how frustrating. I don't have any idea what happened...if it is linked to the new Blogger upgrade, which I'm not fond of yet. I was going to schedule all of my posts for next week when I'm gone, but now I'm afraid to...I don't want to do all that work only to have them disappear again :( Has this happened to anyone else??
I have a card to enter into Diana's 3 x 3 Thankful Thursday challenge. (Okay, my card possibly measures 3.25 x 3.25 with the scalloped edges...I hope it still counts!!). I want to sincerely thank Beate for instructions on how to make a shaped card using Spellbinders!! I love this method...so much easier than what I was doing!! I used my favorite Pink Paislee paper from the Butterfly Collection. The base is the largest Spellbinders Lacy Square. I cut a Classic Square and sewed it to the Lacy Square.
Using the colors from Diana's card as inspiration, I used Shabby Shutters Distress Ink to bring out the green in the paper, Tumbled Glass to bring out the blue and Wild Honey for the yellow. The shape in the middle is from Spellbinders Parisian Accents and I cut a Standard Circle in the same size to stamp "Dreams do come true" from K Andrew Designs newest stamp set, Of Mice & Lil Men. I know I say this about all of her stamps but this one is my favorite!! Click HERE to purchase your own set :) I popped it up with foam tape for dimension, and the butterfly as well. Both the butterfly on the front and...
the one on the inside are the smallest of Spellbinders Nested Butterflies.
I am always so honored when one of my friends thinks of me for a blog award!! It means so much to me :) I hope you will visit each of their blogs...not only are they fabulous friends, but each and every one is incredibly talented and so creative!! You will not be disappointed!!
Thank you so much to (in the order it was received):
All of these awards have instructions to post things about yourself. I had it all typed up, as well as who I was giving these to and it is all gone. It really makes me want to cry. I don't have time to compile the lists again before I go, so I will do that when I get back. I am giving all four awards to the the wonderful friends above, so I will go ahead and do that and then include the others when I return:
Thanks so much for stopping by!! I apologize again for not being able to visit you for a while but I will when I get back :)

Thank you for the mention Lisa! Blogger belayed my post by 3 hours this morning. I know how involved writing a post of this nature can be. Had it been me that lost my post I would have been crying!
Have a great trip! Bon voyage!
Colin
Absolutely Beautiful!

love this card so pretty
Can't help you on the Blogger issue... but I've thought the upgrade "isn't"... I've gone back the the old version.
Love your card, Lisa.... fantastic color scheme... your technique with the Distress Inks is amazing... so vivid. Love the use of the Spellbinder's die, too! Perfect!!!
Have a great weekend, friend!
Wow, Lisa, this is a gorgeous card.....stunning!!! Haven't had any blogger issues..yet...but think I am still on the old one...I never know if I am coming or going...LOL!!
Wow..you always amaze me with your work, Lisa! Love your gorgeous card!
Love this card. The colors, image and all. Thanks for stopping in at my blog from the Carson's Creations Blog Hop. I am a new follower!
Oooh, this is exquisite, my sweet friend! The colors are amazing, especially with the lovely inking. (Tumbled Glass is on my wish list, particularly for skies!) The papers are so pretty and I always love any and all Spellbinders usage. The Parisian Accent is stunning and yet another Must Have. Marvelous card in every way, my inspiring friend. :o)
Congratulations on your well-deserved awards! You are special to so many, including me! Thank you for thinking of me and passing them along... I am truly honored. :o) Regarding your Blogger issues, I cannot help. I'm still on the old version, as I don't upgrade until they make me in hopes any bugs will get worked out early. :( I am so sorry for this frustration. Not the nicest send-off, now is it? I'd fix it for you if I could! Hug the ocean for me, okay? Teehee! :o)
Hugs and blessings!

I'm so sorry about your blog episode. That's no fun at all! I've not had that happen before so don't know what it could be.
Hope you have a great trip!
Lisa this is such a beautiful card especially for the Spring Season. Congrats on your much deserved awards and accomplishments. You're such a creative and amazing crafter.
I upgraded Blogger on Sat and aaaahhhh! Don't like the way it comes up and have yet to go any further...may revert back.

I'm so sorry about your posting difficulties. GRRR... I know it's frustrating. I love this card (I know I've said this about others). I think this may be one of my favorites you have made... or maybe that was the other one - lol. Needless to say, I love what you do. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
