I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by my blog during the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop and took the time to leave such supportive comments! I only wish I had the time to respond to each one - please know I have read and appreciate them all!
The current challenge at A Blog Named Hero is:
Now the stamp I chose to use is certainly not the oldest Hero Arts stamp in my stash but it's an oldie from 2010 called Artists Butterfly (H5426). I haven't used it in awhile and I wanted to see how it would look with one of the sentiments from the new 2013 Hero Arts clear set called Fancy Basics CL652:
As you can see I'm still not off my peacock feathers distress ink kick :)........or my window card design kick :) :) :) The pp circle underneath the butterfly is from a teresa collins 6 x 6 pad that I absolutely LOVE called Tell Your Story.
Other Supplies Used: Stampin' Up pool party cs, Papertrey ink white cs, Spellbinder Nestie, Signo Uniball white gel pen, clear gems
After I put this card together I thought it still needed a little "something" and I found this leftover flourish stuck to something else in my bling drawer. I like how the shape kind of echoes the flourishes in the sentiment. I really need to come up with a better way to store all my gems and pearls - would love to hear what ideas work for you!
Since I used something new on my card I'm also popping this into the current Hero Arts challenge:
Hope your weekend is spent doing something you love!

Sooo gorgeous, Robin! I love that butterfly! Your design and colors are beautiful!
You crack me up.....finding your bling stuck to something else! And I took you for a super-organized person, Robin. Your work certainly is organized - and so darn amazing. I love these colors together and the cut-out design. That big sentiment really grounds this wonderful design, too. Have a great weekend, dear pal.
Happy Friday to you! I love the orange and aqua and that bling trail is perfect!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the butterfly! New sentiment looks great with this AND I can so relate to "leftover flourish stuck to something else" :-)That is a true sign of creativity!
Gorgeous card! I'm currently on a Peacock feather kick too, Jo x
the bright blue of the peacock feathers DI looks fabulous with the coral colored pp, robin... another beautiful card!
Stunning butterfly.
Hi Robin. Not sure what the best way is to store bling as I have the same issue. I think I saw someone mention before that they store it in one of those jewelry organizers that have all those little pockets and is held up on a hanger. I am loving these colours together wow, simply awesome and that butterfly is still one of my faves.
Hi R-
Loving on the Butterfly!
I was just doing my morning Blog-read, and I thought of you when I was catching up with

Are you familiar with her Blog? I read her blog for her Great use of vintage items in displays, but you might enjoy her recent recap of CHA (Craft Hobby Assoc Tradeshow) - she talks about Sizzix, and stamps and has all kinds of eye candy you might enjoy too ;-)!
Just love your peacock colored butterfly, Robin! So great with that TC patterned paper behind and with that Fancy sentiment!!
I love that butterfly image & the flourish is just perfect! You could enter this in the Moxie Fab card with a window challenge, too.
I love the colors together, Robin! You should link this up to Moxie Fabs window challenge...
