    Love them Carri!
    How about a picture tutorial for those of us that our computer crashes everytime we come near a video (I thought it was a virus and after much researching and updating, I am almost sure it is my graphics card in combination with the latest flash updates!)

    I love the purples, very spring-like! So nice of you to do a tutorial also, I always use the clamps, glossy accents would be so much easier ;) TFS :)

    Adorable! I love that beautiful butterfly card. Thanks for the great tutorial on the stick pins as well. I am thinking of doing more dimensional embellishments and these would be a great place to start.

    I was wondering what kind of glue they used for the stick pins...so thank you. I will have to take a stab at it. Cute card too!
