Hi friends! I'm stopping in this morning with my farewell post as a guest designer with the Just Us Girls challenge. This month's final challenge is a wild card week using butterflies!
Once again, I've created a card for my Sweet P! Earlier this summer she had a kit teaching her to take care of caterpillars hoping they would bloom into butterflies. As luck would have it she had 5 butterflies! She went outside in her jammies and gently released each one into the wild. Bless her sweet loving little heart, she cried a few minutes later saying she would miss them.
Those tears have turned into happiness now. Each time the two of us see a butterfly I say "Look Sweet P, one of your butterflies came to visit today!" She squeals with joy!
Now about my card *wink! The clouds are MFT ~ butterflies, sentiment and confetti PPP ~ jar PRS. Thanks so much to the ladies at at Just Us Girls! I've enjoyed designing with you this month!

What a lovely memory to turn into your sweet card, Lisa ... such a pretty, delicate design ... and a fabulous photo! Hugs, Anita :)
Such a sweet memory for both of you, Lisa! She is growing up, thanks for sharing that picture with us.
Awwwwww...what a sweet post and card Lisa! Sweet P is going to LOVE your rainbow butterflies taking off from the jar and will remind her of her own experience with letting the butterflies go and how beautiful they were!! Hugs. :0)
What an adorable card!! I love the little butterflies flying out of that jar!! What a fun kit for your granddaughter. I have always wanted to do this myself!!
I totally enjoyed reading this post! What a fabulous memory you both will always remember. Your card is just as sweet as your story. It's been a pleasure having you with us this month. Take care, Nanc'
Wow....this has to be one of the sweetest cards I have even seen. Just beautiful and I love the story that goes with your wonderful card.
They should really just add you to the team! Your cards are AMAZING and I just LOVE this! Also that pic of Sweet Pea is just Delightful!
What a precious meaning and story behind this fun card!
Thank you, Sweet P for taking the time to bring more butterflies into our world … I know just how you feel! I have said goodbye almost 200 hundred times this season! but our tears are joy-filled, right?
Very beautiful card, Lisa!

My goodness! Penelope is getting so big! So sweet that she cried when she let the butterflies go, but what a clever gramma you are to tell her that when you see a butterfly it is one hers! Now the card, lol! As always it is super sweet and so perfect for Penelope!
Such a beautifully whimsical card Lisa and I love how you tell sweet P each time you see a butterfly that one of her caterpillars has come back to visit her! So sweet!
Sweet! Both the card and the story!!
Those butterflies are so sweet but not as sweet as the picture of Sweet P releasing her butterflies in her jammies!
What a lovely background story for your oh-so-pretty card! Thank you to your Sweet P for bringing more butterflies into our world; they're precious, just as she is! Thank you, Lisa, for being an awesome guest designer with us this month! Your finale here brings me much joy!

Oh my--the sweetest story & what a picture! Wish Sweet P could actually know Auntie Greta! She will adore this darling butterfly card! JUGS was lucky to have you as the GD, Lisa!
It was so nice to have you with us this past month, love your sweet card and the story as well!
What a beautiful story and memory you now both have. Love how your card is inspired by this. Your butterflies are beautiful as is your layout and fluffy clouds. It was so lovely to have you share your talents with us at JUGS this month. Thank You.
It's been great having you with us this month, Lisa. I love the idea of the butterflies coming from the jar. I'm so glad Sweet P got to see the miracle of caterpillars changing to butterflies. Every time I see one I think of Michele and now I'll thing of P too.
Oh this is so sweet Lisa! What a great way to end your stay at Just Us Girls! Love the card. So appropriate for your "Sweet P". Thanks for being a great guest and we look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
Love your inspiration.. this card is adorable..
What a darling, little cutie, and such a wonderful project to work on! Love how you've captured it in your card, Lisa!
