wow Lynda this is such a beautiful card. When I first saw it I only saw the white through the teal background and thought how lovely it looked, when I sawn the small photos and saw they were butterflies I was gobsmacked. have not seen this die before but you have co ordinated the card beautifully. Gorgeous Lyra which I now have, lovely stick pins and gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well. Warm hugs Theresa (TOB)

Oh thank you so much Margaret for your lovely comment. So pleased Ben liked his card I wasn't too sure about it.
ReplyDeleteLove & Hugs Lynda xx
Lynda Ben's card was to say the least stunning, so very well thought out too. What oh what was there to be unsure about, I think you need a big dose of self confidence, your cards are so beautiful, quite simply they are wonderful and you prove that every time you post one of your master pieces.
DeleteWith love
Margaret xx
Oh thank you Margaret, Yes I never think cards I make especially without using die cuts are not so good,I'm not a very confident person also I'm shy too,not as bad now at 67 as when I was younger .
DeleteBut I'm so pleased Ben liked his card. Should I blog it & see what reaction I get 😊. I have a lot to thank Sue for since I joined her blog I have so many friends now & never thought I would ever have my own one. Just goes to show I'm growing up. Ha ha!!!.
Love & Hugs Lynda xx
Most definitely why ever not? Ben would be delighted I am quite sure.
DeleteCome on Lynda you go for it!
Love
Margaret xx
Ok,Margaret I will post it thank you & Ben can see it. Did he take it to school & show his friends.
DeleteYou are such a good friend Margaret
With love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteOh how I love butterflies they are so pretty and elegant which also describes your card too. I love the teal and white and love the way you always co-ordinate your inserts with the front of your cards.
Nikki had a wonderful Christmas with discos and parties and loved her new phone and trendy boots....she isn't able to use a phone but I know she feels more like an adult when she gets the trendiest things...thank you so much for remembering her Lynda.
I do hope your hubby is still improving mine has been called back for more tests but we're just thinking possitively.
Take care and will visit again soon.
Love and hugs
Sheila xx
Hi Sheila thank you for your lovely comments I really appreciate them. I'm so pleased Nikki had a lovely Christmas,she sounds like she is so happy bless her pleased she liked her trendy boots. It's a shame she can't ring you on her new phone.
ReplyDeleteTerry is still waiting to have the camera down in his stomach ,but he is nearly back to normal.
Hope your hubby gets sorted soon with the tests Sheila
Love & Hugs Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,this is such a beautiful card! I love the colour you have used and who don't like butterflies.Love the layout and you have used the Lyra die in a great way.Had to look twice to see the butterflies in the background :-) it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in England for 22 years.Found it quite hard in the beginning with a young baby at home and hubby working out everyday.My english was not good and I was shy so felt very lonely.Today after meeting people through work,crafting classes and going to the gym (I'm fat and fit) talking to everyone has helped my english, still saying things wrong but do not care lol and of course writing helps too especially on here when you got the spell checker lol, I went to Sweden in June this year but had not been home in 8 years! Now I'm glad as my mamma has got the cancer back, she's doing fine and seeing her surgeon on the 15th to see what's happen next.
How's it going for Terry, is he getting any better ? Hope you are well ? so many having colds at the moment... We are going away for a week to the alps on Saturday. I can't wait , hoping for lot of snow, good food and nice walks mmm! will try to blog while away otherwise I'll see you the week after !
Ps. AP , 11 th of April ,It's a date lol ! Take care Lynda , Warm hugs Maria x
Thank you so much Maria your comments are so lovely they give me a real boost in confidence which I tend to lack. I'm a bit of a butterfly addict love them. Maria my email is on my profile,if you would like to email me then I Can answer your lovely post.
DeleteI'v just told Terry I am going to AP 11th April ,he has just gone a shade of white
Haha.
With love Lynda xx

Hi Steph,
ReplyDeleteI love Butterflys im bit of a butterfly freak really,I saw this background die on Flowers ribbons & pearls web site,& found it on EBay.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Wish I could see some of your cards Steph,bet they are amazing.
Warm Hugs Lynda xx
Sorry Lynda, I meant to leave a comment on this gorgeous master piece yesterday, just love that back ground of butterflies.but some how I must have been side tracked. Very easy when you have 2 girls and 2 dogs demanding attention, not the girls so much apart from Beth wanting me to see her new routine for her horse vaulting, she got a vaulting horse for christmas, now I am not talking a small one but a huge one that takes up a third of the. Hall. They could fit a grand piano in their hall, no they have a vaulting horse. Anyway she has this new routine set to Adele music. But the dogs an old collie (Jack) and a youngester ( moss) but at the moment Moss is trying to be top dog, so all hell lets loose. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel no worries you seem to have a very hectic life. It's funny how the youngest dog always wants to be the boss, Bambi is the same with Annie. Thank you for leaving me a lovely comment,I love butterflys & love Sue's magical butterfly set of dies. Try & get some me time Hazel. Hugs Lynda xx
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda, very late tonight as I have been fussing round Bella, do you think she will keep that pesky collar thing on?! No she won't, I hope she doesn't aggravate get stitches over night little minx!
ReplyDeleteLynda my craft room is back to being a tip! It doesn't last very long whenever I get round to tidying, one day I will find all the tools and reels of tape I have lost in there! Plus the kittens are frequent visitors to the craft room which doesn't help.
The card you have put on is divine, love the butterflies, hope you are both well,
Hugs
Sandra xxxxx
Good morning Sandra,
DeleteI can't imagine your craft room is a tip again. I'm the world 's worst messy crafter I will have a word with myself to tidy after each card I make mmmm I don't think I will listen haha.
Poor Bella yes those collars are a nightmare,when Annie had one on after an opp on her paw. Hope Bella feel's better today sending her big cuddles x
Thank you for your lovely comment on my card Sandra.
Love & Hug's
