I'm Back!!!

I know I haven't been blogging lately but we just got back from a week vacation to Minnesota.  Last summer we also spent a week in MN and not that I don't like going there but I've told the DH that next year we're going somewhere else!  The reason we've gone to MN the past 2 years is that my husband use to live there so we visit friends and family.  And sadly my husband's Grandpa passed away during our visit.  It didn't come as a surprise, he was a great man who had a great life and I'm glad we were all there to go to his memorial service. On a happy note we stayed with friends who are expecting their first child any day so I was enlisted to make a few things for the baby's room.  Sara, the mother, told me she wanted my inspiration to come from Kaiser's Magic Happens Collection.  Well I knew I wanted to make here something with butterflies but totally lacked any great ideas but then the lovely Lydia posted this wonderful project and inspiration hit.  Here's what I did.

I took 3 canvases, painted them with some different shades of purple and punched out a whole lotta butterflies and kind of made a flowing path across the canvases.  Sara is going to add some words to them but hadn't figured out exactly what she wants it to say so I wasn't able to complete these 100% before I left.  Another project I did for the new baby is her name.

The LSS cut the letters out of chipboard and white card stock and then I just decorated them up.  Here's a close up of the first two.

So I didn't get any scrapbooking done but it was fun to get some crafting in!
