200 Butterflies

It has been a crazy ride for me the last couple of weeks in the stamping world.  First, earning the design team honors for Late Night Stampers and Soul Scrappers, and then on August 4th, I woke up and checked my e-mail found Sherrill Graff's blog post that listed me as a finalist in her sample card contest! 

Wow is all I can say.

Here is the card:

So as a finalist, I need to make 50 card fronts and send them to Sherrill in exchange for $350 in free Stampin' Up! merchandise of my choice from her.  Woo Hoo!  Pretty good deal in my opinion.

I will post a picture of the products I picked when they arrive - there are definitely some basic pearls in there :)

Since the weather hasn't been cooperating with us and I cannot be in my combine harvesting wheat, I have put some time in on the samples.

I think my fingers are permanently stained in Soft Suede :) although I am ready for assembly.
