I'm bracing myself for removal of my entry as it's a revamped project, rather than a new one! Don't enter me for prizes - I just wanted to take part in your first challenge and I haven't got many butterflies in my craft room at the moment (they're waiting for better weather!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a popular challenge it's proving to be Mrs A, so glad you have lots of beautiful entries xx
I love butterflies and this is a very fun challenge. I must visit every link as the tiny teaser images really look interesting. Love your three projects. Creative Challenging Charm Dear...

This is an awesome challenge, as I just love butterflies and use them on almost everything I ever do and flowers too, and the samples on here is truly amazing too.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all the entries and there are certainly more to come! Congratulations!That is amazing for a new challenge blog, I think! Maybe it was your fabulous inspiration pieces or maybe everybody is just ready to move from snowflakes and hearts onto flowers and butterflies! I do think that adding a butterfly to a creation often makes it better. Can't wait to see what the new challenge will be!
