Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set .

I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week!

Hand Knit Tag Holder Sketch Challenge #45 Hand Knit Tags My Hand Knitted Cupcake Pin Cushion The pattern for this cute little project is from an Express Publication called, Knitting and Crochet (No. 1).
