Got The Blues with Gingerloft Challenges

Wow! Time is going by so quick that I almost forgot today is a new fortnightly challenge at 

Where does the time go?

This week ... We have...
GOT THE BLUES!

Again this week I have used Gingerlofts- Freebie Butterfly Flight - What can I say, I am in love with this verse and it's FREE!!! You can have it too by clicking HERE!

And this is where I went with feeling BLUE!






The papers are from my stash of favorites at the moment and I have lots of lace too as I have been raiding my sewing stash that is overflowing!  The 3 flowers on the sentiment with the blue pearl centers are cut from a ribbon lace and I have added a small white scallop lace around the sentiment, and the blue flower boarder along the bottom is also a lace trim as well!   The blue butterfly I rescued from the packaging from some blue raffia I brought ages ago and I have 'blinged' it up with some clear and black jewels and given it a blue pearl following tail.  I have also given the card a soft distressed look by lightly distressing all the layers edges.  Yummy yummy lace and pearls!

On the inside I have added a tea bag pocket and again used the blue flower lace with pearl centers and softly distressed the layers.  I have left the message side blank at the moment as I am not sure if I am sending this to my step mother in law or if I should send it to my other grandma for Mothers' Day.   Oh decisions decisions lol

So ... have I given you the blues too???
I sure do hope so!

We really would love you to play along with us at
