Lavender Birthday Butterfly

One of the ladies that I work with asked me if I would make her a lavender birthday card for her friend. This is card attempt #1, that I made tonight, but I'm not sure that I'm completely happy with it. I don't know what it is about making cards for other people, but I always seem to get stumped for ideas when they specifically request one. It's like I all of a sudden lose my mojo. Anyway, I think I'll try another attempt tomorrow night and see which one she likes better. I think I'll try some patterned paper with the other one. This one just seems too plain for me...I dunno, I know you're always you're own worst critic.

By the way, I used my new Making Memories paper trimmer for this card. This is the first full card that I've made with it and I have to say that so far, I love it! It gives such nice, clean, straight cuts and no blade-wobbling at the beginning of the cut. I'm super happy with it! Finally, I have a good cutter! I feel like a kid in a candy store I'm so excited! Ya gotta love new crafty toys! lol :)

Well, I think I'll turn in a bit early tonight. I'll be back again tomorrow. Stay tuned...

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
