I'm still working on capturing a hummingbird. They are so much easier to snap when they are stationary ;)

Eastern Bluebirds might be my favorite birds to photograph.

I saw this beautiful butterfly fluttering around the Mimosa tree so I snapped a few pics. It wasn't until I was scrolling through the pictures that I noticed...

...it's missing half it's lower body!! Thankfully, it didn't seem to have any trouble flying or enjoying the blooms :) Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Happy July :)

This was a special order for a birthday girl named Sarah. The theme of her party is Beauty and the Beast so that meant I got to play with my severely-neglected Cricut Explore :) I used the print and cut feature and I cut it twice so I could pop them up for a bit of dimension. A Marianne Anja's Large Oval die used for the backdrop. You can't tell in the picture, but the white layer is covered with Crystal Ice Glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. I popped that layer up with foam tape for dimension, too. Sarah was cut with Alphabet Dies from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). They were covered with Crystal Ice Glitter, too.

The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is St. Tropez Gold from the Tropical Summer Bundle. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Memory Box Chloe Stems and Tender Leaves are tucked among the blooms. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. It was heat embossed in gold on vellum cut with a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die.
