#90 Butterflies +H is for Handwritten and/or the colour Lemon

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge. Winners results for #89 are in the post below. Please make sure you check back as it could be you. Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been a few! Thankyou all so much for continuing to play along.
This is the last Butterfly challenge for this year!  As in previous years the Butterflies will  all be cocooned and the Fairies, Gnomes ,Elves, Pixies and Hob Goblins come out to play for the Month of December. I also have a guest designer playing along this year too. 

Back to the current challenge.
I'm delighted to welcome  my returning  Guest Designer.

Who is none other than the lovely 

Janis 
(Winner of #85)

Hi, Friends!  My name is Janis Woolbright and I blog at Her Peaceful Garden.  My hubby and I live in rural N. Central Idaho in the USA.  I am mom to two grown kids and grandma to one precious granddaughter.  Currently, we have 5 chickens and 17 or so cats.  (Whiskers kept jumping into my arms while my son was taking some photos of me for this bio, so I let her join me.) 
I have been crafting in some fashion since I was a kid, but started rubber stamping around 30 years ago.  That hobby mostly got put on hold while the kids were growing up and I was homeschooling.  When I took it back up, what a surprise to see the transformation papercrafting had experienced! 

I started blogging in 2014 and have really grown as a cardmaker.....learning from the projects that many of you reading this right now have shared.  My sincere thanks to you all!!  My style is pretty varied, but I like to think that two words describe my crafting:  playful and experimental.  I love making a mess with my supplies and trying new things.  :) 

Many thanks to Mrs. A for her lovely Butterfly Challenges and for inviting me to be a Guest Designer!! 



Janis has chosen 

the letter H for Handwritten which has been teamed with L for the colour Lemon.


So I would like to see a handwritten sentiment (NOT stamped/typed or a die cut ) on your project along with your butterfly/s of course .  Sentiment does not have to be a lot of words so lets see what you can come up with.



Please pop over to Janis's blog  for more information on how her card was made.

Thankyou  Janis for being my Guest Designer for #90.

Please take the  Guest Designer badge from the side bar.

Here is my inspiration for you.

If my posts appear a bit out of kilter it is because I'm desperately tying to keep up with the internet which is up and down like a yo yo tonight and won't let me go back in to edit posts. If something is missing tomorrow morning I will amend asap.
