Flutter By Wednesday #112

Welcome back to Flutter By Wednesday! Our break seemed like so much longer than a month, didn't it? I think we're all happy to be back creating with our winged friends. The challenge this week is: Open

Please use a butterfly, faerie, or angel on your new card or project. When your card/project has been uploaded to your blog/gallery, please add a direct link to your work on the FBW blog.

We're also having a blog hop, so be sure to leave comments along the way because you never know what might come your way from FBW! If you've stopped by from Randi's blog, then you're on the right track, and from here you can have a nice visit with Michelle! If you get lost along the way just stop back at the Flutter By Wednesday blog to get back on track!

I've used one of Victoria Case's sweet faerie stamps for my card, I just love her images!

Be sure to link up on the Sentimental Sundays blog before the next challenge to be in the running for a fabulous prize, and use a direct link to make it easy for us to find your new card or project.
