Playing

I originally saw these lovely pictures over at two lime leaves then after several emails flying back and forth to Lisa -A Spoonful of Sugar I got my act together and made this one.

Original the butterflies where cut out of a magazine. I decided to print out a contact sheet of some of my more colourful photos and use them. When I look closely at my butterflies I can see Gemma and Lucas in one butterfly a sunset in another.

Your picture looks terrific - using photos was a creative idea - it makes it more personal, and a good use for any leftover holiday snaps. Glad we were able to help with finding the right supplies. Sarah and Lisa

Wow! How beautiful! I am in awe of how neatly you cut those tiny butterflies. I would never have thought to use a contact sheet but what a precious way to use these photos,

I love this idea! Especially using photos to make the butterflies! Do you know what brand punch you used? I can only find ones with very basic shapes but yours is so pretty.
