So we have a brand new wheel to spin and this yr we are going to go straight through the letters of the Alphabet starting with A.
Come on in.
Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Each challenge will be a letter of the Alphabet with a choice of 3 Colours and 2 Themes all beginning with the chosen letter.
New for this Yr. The 7th element of the wheel is a card shape.
(The diserning amongst you will notice that there is now an added page along the top under the Butterfly Banner called Card shapes.)
There will be a card shape for the letter being used for each challenge and I will be showing a tutorial on this page with hints and tips for making the cards.
The card shape is not mandatory but if you do use it you will qualify for the top prize without having to combine all of the other 6 elements onto your card. You must of course use your butterfly. The shapes will all be easy ones, just a different way to either fold or cut your basic cardbase.
If you don't want to use the card shape then
You can either choose a Theme or a Colour from the wheel + Butterfly to be entered for the 1st Prize.
If you use a Butterfly + a Theme + a Colour from the wheel then
you will be entered into the 2nd Prize.
Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.
So lets get started.
The wheel is
A
and
Aperture Card.
Your 6 elements are Amber/Almond/ Apple Green/ Acetate/ Anything goes + your Butterfly.
Here is my inspiration for you.
My first card uses Amber/Almond/Butterfly
My second card uses Aperture Card/Acetate/Apple Green/Butterfly

Mrs. A, I like this new addition to your challenge. Will be fun to try some new card shapes. And the sample cards are inspiring. Thanks.
Oh goodness, I am trying to get my brain around this new twist to the challenge so please bear with me!! So,am I correct in understanding that the 3rd option is to either use all 6 elements plus a butterfly on my card OR just an aperture and a butterfly? Thanks for helping this befuddled crafter along..ha!
Hi, ValeryAnn! Your cards are melt-my-heart beautiful with their soft, golden colors - almost like the sun is shining its warmth through them! Both monochrome creations are beautiful! Wishing you a great day. hugs, de
Gorgeous creations Mrs A! Thank you for the challenge and for your lovely comments on my granddaughter's blog and my blog.

Hi Mrs A,
I think I have done made this right hopefully.
I hope I have used all the elements.
Had trouble with the Almond though.
Love your fab inspiration on your cards.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I think I finally managed to create a card for your challenge. Why it took so long I'll never know. Thanks for the inspiration. Such fun cards!
I'm finally back Mrs A...so good to be able to join your lovely challenge this month...and the sun is shining too! Hugs xx
Hi Mrs A,
back with another card for the challenge as I was so inspired by your post on Wednesday.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I like the new addition to the wheel - will definitely try and use it next time!
Hope my entry makes it OK - internet went down in the middle of writing post and took ages to stabilize again. Just playing for fun this time.
I'm late … but not too late to enter! hehe Would love to play for 2nd prize.
Your cards are so lovely. I love the beautiful papers you used on the first card & it's a gorgeous design. And apple green, or lime green, is one of my very fave colors! Yum!
I like the new twist you have added to your challenges of a card style or technique. The aperture card was surprisingly easy to make and was just right for the sticker I had in my stash. I might have to make more of these with the rest of the stickers!!! :)
Your cards are just soooooooo lovely!! I am in awe of your snippet strip background!!! Beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful challenge and for the inspiration.
