Club Scrap Die Cutter's Blog Hop

Welcome and thanks for “hopping” by!!

Me and my gal pals at Club Scrap have decided once again to share the love of this incredible company and their AMAZING papers and kits. The theme for this blog hop is to use our die cutting tool of choice along with Club Scrap papers.

Anyone who’s ever been to my blog before knows I have mad love for my Silhouette SD. I honestly don’t know how I got through life without it. Ok, that may be stretching it a bit, but it is a huge part of almost every card, layout or art piece I do. So, it should be no surprise that I have cut all of my butterflies (including the LARGE one) on it. I also have mad love for Jennifer McGuire and my butterfly wall hanging pays homage to her heart wall hanging that she did for CHA earlier in the year. If I have the nerve, I may take mine with me to show her in person when I take a class from her next weekend (SO excited!). My last mad love is for the color of PURPLE. It exists everywhere in my life.

I’ve cut 5 different sized butterflies all out of Club Scrap purples (and spayed with glimmer mist) from the following kits:

Additional Club Scrap materials:
Background paper is from Musical Interlude
Sentiment Stamp is from Papillon (seriously my most favorite kit EVER!)
Large Butterfly is cut from an Art Deco grey (sadly, none of that left to link to, sorry)
Clothespins are from Natural ResourcesOther: Special thanks to Nancy for the purple lace around the outside of the 11x14 canvas.
Also submitting this for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #155 & Simon Says Stamp Challenge Sparkle & Shine

***If you care to venture a guess at how many cut butterflies were used on this piece; do so in your comment. I’ll be awarding a Club Scrap paper pack to the closest one***

Once again, thank you for hopping by. Your next stop will be real treat indeed and she also happens to be the best sister I know! That’s right; you’ll be visiting my sister Jen and just wait til you see what she has in store.

    Chris, love this butterfly creation. Of course, the color sets me free but I also really like the many sizes of butterflies all clustered together. The clothesline with the sign on it is inspired. Great job.

    Wow, this is an awesome idea! It is like these butterflies will fly away any minute.

    I think you should take it, she would be thrilled to have inspired you. This is truly a fantastic wall hanging - I am always amazed at the beautiful home decor items you make. All the butterflies just flow on the piece and the little saying on the clothesline? genius!
    I say 85 ;-)

    I think you should take the butterfly hanging with you next week as well, It's beautiful and anyone would be pleased to know that they inspired you to create this work of art. Just don"t lose any of the 100 butterflies you used to create it. :-) Sally p
