#61 Butterflies + K is for Kraft Card and or Kaleidoscope.

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge.

Winners results for #60  are in the post below.

Please make sure you check as it could be you.

Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been quite a few!

Thankyou all so much for playing along. 

We are over half way through

the new set of letters and themes.

I've introduced  a new mix into the challenge too!!

 Each challenge will be a different letter of the Alphabet.

It will always be Butterflies  with the addition

of an item/theme beginning with a chosen letter.

Along with this letter will be a corresponding  colour.

You may choose to use just the letter /theme + butterfly

or use the colour + butterfly.

If you make your project 

using both the letter and the colour + butterfly

you will be eligible for going into a second draw to win 

an additional prize.

So that's 2 chances to win  on each challenge.  

Just me again this challenge.

Guest Designers will be back on the next one.


This is what I have chosen for you.

#61  Butterflies + K  is for Kraft card

with the additional option of  K is for Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope - An optical instrument usually a cylinder
with mirrors containing loose, coloured small  ojects such as glass.
The viewer looks into one end and the light entering the other
end creates a colourful pattern.

So I would like to see  kraft card  used 

on your  project

along with your Butterfly/ies of course.

 on your project.

on each one to show the use of colour.

#60 Butterflies +V is for Vases and/or Vanilla.

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge.

Winners results for #59  are in the post below.

Please make sure you check as it could be you.

Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been quite a few!

Thankyou all so much for playing along. 

We are over  half way through

the new set of letters and themes.

 Each challenge will be a different letter of the Alphabet.

It will always be Butterflies  with the addition

of an item/theme beginning with a chosen letter.

Along with this letter will be a corresponding  colour.

or use the colour + butterfly.

If you make your project 

using both the letter and the colour + butterfly

you will be eligible for going into a second draw to win 

an additional prize.

So that's 2 chances to win  on each challenge.  

I have no Guest Designers for the next two challenges

as the prizes remained unclaimed on two challenges.

If you do not check back you can also miss out on 

being asked to be a Guest Designer.

So it's just me today but I have made an extra card to show.

This is what I have chosen for you.

#60  Butterflies + V is for Vases

with the additional option of  V is for the colour Vanilla.

So I would like to see  a vase of some description

on your  project

along with your Butterfly/ies of course.

Now you'd think  that as  I set the challenges

that I'd be well prepared each time.

Truth is I go through the alphabet at the beginning

of the year and set all the themes/colours

and then promptly forget about them until

my Guest Designer chooses her letter.

So when I picked  V out  of the bag I went 

into panic mode.  Did I actually have 

any vases in my stash? Yes surprisingly

I did and I'm hoping that when you have 

a look through your stash you will have some too.

Here are my  inspiration cards for you.

Using a  Penny Black Stickeroos.

Using  a LOTV Art pad  pre coloured image..

Using a  pre coloured image by Hunkydory.

Please pop over to my blog for more detailed info.

(You may well find a Monkey in residence over there

but I have managed to sneak back into the craft room

and uploaded a post when he wasn't looking. )

The Winner may choose one item from the following prizes.

Hessian goody bag

containing either

Green selection

or

Pink selection

or 

$10 gift certificate from

Raspberry Road.

The additional prize available if

using both  Vases  and the colour Vanilla

+your butterfly

is 

Sheena Douglas

Monarch Butterfly stamp.
