Here is an atc that I recently made. I just love the eyes of this little girl. On this atc I placed a butterfly for her to stare at. I've got a few other ideas where I plan to use her.


The image is from Paper Imagery Designs check them out. During the month of May they are running a grand opening sale.

My house smelled beautiful, nice and lemony. My husband complained about the smell.
