The Joy of Butterflies
It comes as no surprise to many of you that one of my favorite things is an insect. Butterflies, and lot’s of them. I was completely out of shrink plastic butterflies, so today I sat out on a mission of winged friend making.
I used at least six different Butterfly stamps for this project. All are stamped using Staz on Jet Black ink and stamped onto one side of the shrinky dink plastic, then flipped over and colored on the opposite side. Failure to do this will ruin the copic markers.
I think I spent a good five hours or so making all these butterflies, I also made some flowers, owls and some “dream” sentiments. My small jar of shrink plastic goodies is once again starting to fill up. My hands got tired from the cutting of the pieces so I had to call it quits a little over half an hour ago.
We celebrated the life of a dear friend on Friday. My “aunt” Joyce passed from here onto Glory and Is happily sitting with Jesus. I praise the Lord for the influence of this wonderful woman in my life, she was loved and will be dearly missed.
Stamp Happy, be kind and always be a blessing!
With much love,

Oh wow you have been busy! Did you bake them in the oven or use your heat tool? I like to use my heat tool. It is fun but have never done so many at one time.
So sorry for your loss. So sweet of you to realize that she is in a wonderful place which helps when the sadness takes us over.
Hugs,
Linda

Thanks Linda! I use my heat tool. It is a Nicole. I love it. It took all day, I couldn't make any more, my hands got tired from all of the cutting of the shrinky dink plastic. I loved Joyce and she has a great place in heaven.
