The promotion is valid from August 15, 2012 9:00AM MST through September 30, 2012 11:59PM MST.  If you are a  fan of Project Life, this stamp set would be perfect for your layouts!
If you want to skip the details, you can continue on with the blog hop to Michelle's blog.


My card is based on the color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. I knew I wanted to incorporate the butterflies with the chevron pattern into my card....just needed to decide on a color scheme.  The bright colors of challenge caught my eye.  I chose Hollyhock, Honey and Sunset for my colors.  I stamped my butterflies in second generation ink with the solid shape.  I then stamped in first generation ink with the polka dot background. I hand cut the butterflies out and mounted on coordinating cardstock.  My banners were cut with the Cricut Artiste cartridge and then stamped with the chevron border stamp.  I added Bakers twine for the antenna and a little bling to finish off my card.
