Rainbow butterflies

Hello friends

Definitely steering away from all things cold and frosty today

Three butterflies (these are from the Victorian Sapphire range),
select your favourite rainbow colours, die cut your butterflies,
position randomly including off the edge of the card, trim, stamp 
and Bob's your Uncle!
Why do we say that?  I'm intrigued by sayings so I looked it up...

"Bob's your uncle, an expression meaning "everything will be fine", 
originated when Arthur Balfour was unexpectedly promoted to 
Chief Secretary for Ireland by the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury
in 1900. Salisbury was Balfour's uncle and his first name was Robert."

Ok so sometimes the facts can be less inspiring! 



Today and tomorrow is city job and then I'm back to speed crafting
as I'm doing lots of shows next week on Create and Craft,
just awaiting my final times etc and I'll be sharing those with you
and some sneak peeks of projects.

Take care friends, keep warm and think of butterflies!
