May butterfly of the month

This is with the stamping up set Flight of the butterfly and the punch also from stamping up which is heavy! but if i get robbed i can hit them over the head with it so 2 in one tool Yay

I stamped the "if nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies" i love this sentiment and i love all butterflies at the moment. this was stamped onto some mint card stock and embossed with some clear embossing powder.
i then punched the butterfly out 4 times in 4 different contrasting colours and some dots on velum which i had ages ago and never used. layered together using diamond glaze and added 3 green beads for the body.
Lastly i matted and layered it all together added a punched flower from dove craft and some gems

I have to admit i love stamping up projects, if you require some info please contact Lisa Lovell on here blog http://lavender-stamper.blogspot.com where i know she can help you as time and time again she helps me spend more than the stampers 10 a month and i have just renewed to carry on going .

Mays Atcs Wild Flowers

Used some ribbon and some brads diamond glaze and shrink plastic. I have to admit been using stamping ups Tomboy Multi liquid glue and its fab !!!!

Updates

So sorry that i haven't been posting much, with things going on at work and home, things have been a bit of a distressing time of late.

Probate is through at last which to us means we can sell the house and get a new caravan in wales in Llwyngwril not far from Fairbourne, where his moms old caravan is and we are hoping to put some of her ashes on the bush with Nicks dads if we haven't lost the plot ( which I'm hoping we haven't)

Chloe and Clover are getting on better which is good news Chloe loves going out while Clover still is lazy as ever but she will get up and play occasionally with Chloe play fighting. seems as Chloe's ear is healed well considering we don't actually know what happened but it makes her unique lol. As you can see from the photo she seems happy enough and still manages to cause trouble

Work is still the same I'm still based at New Street Station where i hate if I'm honest and I'm so used to being busy in that job I'm not :( . The case is still ongoing which means I'm still ill on and of and as much as i was being positive and thinking the same the visit to the work doctor wasn't what i hoped, he brought it all back to life where i was ill again and this time 10 times worse so after trying not to to go see my own GP, which he is brilliant and tries to help me out with different medications and to try to stop the stress and the anxiety and so again back on tablets to try help me out. Since November i have lost about 1 stone and half my mom said not all bad but i didn't want to loose it from being ill. Im hoping the end of may we will have it all resolved and i can get back to my job as roster clerk as i really miss the signallers and the managers as much as it pains to upset me. lol but they arent all bad just proved to me who i can really trust in this job and the answer is about 4 that's very low with how many i speak and get on with but someone once said to me " when your a roster clerk everyone wants to be your friend" and trust me that's so true.

Also lost a friendship who i valued allot as she said i wasn't there for her and i was on such a downer i was being selfish and in my own world so I'm sorry Lynne x

done some atcs as not much i can do feeling like this i will post them all after

Take care all
