Frosted Designs & CAS-ual Fridays Challenges

Guess what? I'm still making cards! And I'm really getting into it, too... today I've got the latest sketch #17 for FROSTED DESIGNS first...& while you're over there, take a peek at the 'how to' butterfly card. Sweet as!!!

And here's what I did, using the lovely MITRA'S gorgeous embellishment she sent me...she has a tutorial on 'how to' over at ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE ...I'm in the middle of doing my very 1st one atm now I've got some Crackle Glossy Accents:):)
It HAD to be vintage, with this gorgeous embellie!
Here's a close up:


And over at CAS-ual FRIDAYS, their challenge CFC50, ending next Wednesday, is to use TREES or FLOWERS...keeping it simple. Afraid Mitra starred again. Seems somehow 'wrong' taking the 'pat on the back' for this card, as it's mostly her YUMMY accordion flower that 'makes' it....still...reflected glory & all that:):)
 

The other thing I must mention is Paulette from Create With TLC. She has an online store for digital designs ~ I won a voucher to spend from Frosted Designs, & I must say, her goodies are lovely. The BEST thing I was able to buy [THANK YOU Paulette] was these custom designed 'seals', I guess you'd call them. Some of our step grandkidlets have unusual names, so I was wrapt to be able to get these designed by her. At a very, very reasonable price! 
That's it for the moment,
Take care, 
Lizzy H
