True friends are like butterflies ...........

True friends are like butterflies -

the beauty of their friendship

never dies .........

 

 

 

 

I have always loved this quote (not too sure where it is from, but it is in my little book) and it fits in well with a couple of challenges this week.   

 

This is a very colourful photograph of my four school friends taken during their visit to Shetland in May when we stayed at the Bressay Lighthouse. 

 

We had a cracker of a week of weather and this was taken outside at about 9 pm (see the blue sky!) after a reasonable amount of wine had been drunk and we all got a fit of the giggles at Cathy setting the photo up.  But it is one of my favourite photos of all of us!

 

I thought the colours would fit in well with the CSI Challenge this week but once I started I found it quite difficult!

 

 

 

We had the addition of a sketch this week too! 

 

For my evidence I used punched circles, tickets, polka dots, text pattern, music pattern and string.  I made my own polka dot paper using an embossing folder and used my only circle punch to make the banner, embellishments and rolled roses.   And for the testimony I hand wrote my journalling (the quote) on shrink plastic (I can live with my writing when shrunk!!).

 

The butterfly theme also fits in with the current challenge at Anything But A Card which is "Wings".  There are some super DT pieces and some amazing submissions.  What I love about this challenge is that it really is anything but a card and encourages lots of different types of art submissions.  Alot of inspiration and worth a visit.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you haven't got too much snow - just a sprinkling here and very icy - a bit like Narnia!

 

 

PS  The significance of "Play to Win" ..........  we played UNO every night and it got REALLY competitive!
