Now on to what I created…

It's no surprise that I absolutely love butterflies!  
















I have loved butterflies for as long as I can remember! To me, they represent beauty, freedom and change. For my project, I decided to create a mini album using one of my "newer" AccuCut butterfly dies. The paper collection I used is Butterfly Garden by Pink Paislee. Here are some photos.

The cover...
