...store that just sells ladybug stuffs in Australia!

I woke up today to a note on my facebook from my daughter Ayla, who I mentioned was at University in Australia.  She had tagged this picture as "Samara."  I was very curious because this photo is of my daughter, surrounded with my most precious winged thingi-doodles - ladybugs!  There is a store in Sydney, Australia that is devoted to only Ladybugs.  Far-out!  It is good it is she that is there and not me; I would exceed my luggage limit for sure!

On to my cards.  My first card is a mosaic of butterflies.  I was so attracted by this stamp.  It feels like butterflies look! Coloring this card with my SU markers was so relaxing.  If you love detail, you will love working with this stamp!

As well today, I couldn't resist offering you a card devoted to a powerful flyer in the sky, the owl.  My son and I are reading The Ga'Hoole series. I am  in awe of the power of the owl. Taylor's on book 13 and I'm on book 3 (I'm busy on the blog and art - ahem.)  Today's card, therefore, is dedicated to "Soren"  the owl in the book series Guardians of GaHoole by Kathryn Lasky.  SQUISHY HUGS.
