Great Friend - Curtain Call #42

Oh my!  It's been a week since my last post!  Busy times!  I guess it's the last flurry of activities before the kids go back to school.  At the end of the week I treated myself to a day away at the antique flea market.  That was a lot of fun.  Saturday was our town's annual festival, Watermelon Days.  So, I guess it's not surprising I didn't spend any time creating.

Now that we are beginning a new week, let's go straight to the Curtain Call Challenge!

Yummy, warm colors....reminds me of pre-fall days!  Now believe it or not, I haven't bought the new In-Colors yet.  So, some substitutions were in order.  I used Certainly Celery and an old retired In-color, Groovy Guava.

I did struggle with this card a bit.  I think it was sheer exhaustion from a busy week.  The thing I like the least?  My stitching through the butterflies.  My curves aren't as smooth as I would have liked.  Something that should come easily for someone that has sewn for as many years as I have!  Oh well!  Can't be perfect!

Now what will the rest of the Crew create?
