Butter Flies and Bunny Presents

Happy Sunday Funday everyone!

I hope the weekend is treating you well! I had such a mammoth post toastie last time, that I will try and keep this brieferish.

I could NOT not play in this week's CASology challenge where the cue card word is JOKE! And where the Guest Designer is the funny and fabulous Gay of Crafty Musings!

The hardest part was choosing from the funny options I had! I finally decided that it was too close to Easter not to use the ol' standby Easter stamp that makes me laugh year after year. It turns out, as it so often does, that there are lots of challenges that fit my card today.

Which card is this:

 Um. Okay. It looks pretty. It even looks a bit fancy. What's so Darnell funny about it?

Take a peek inside: 

I love that line! I know some of you may have seen it last year. 

I prominently featured a butter fly in butter yellow on my card so that I could also play in the current Butterfly Challenge hosted by the fun and talented Mrs. A. This week the brief is "Springtime at Last" and our spring butterfly cards should have some yellow on them. I know Mrs. A. will love the outside and sniggle over the inside.

Also asking for butterfly cards this week are two other wonderful challenges:

I always enjoy The Card Concept which celebrates all the different styles we use when making our cards. 

I believe my style this time is Clean and Layered. I was thinking about calling it Classy and Elegant until I read the bullet item that said Classy and Elegant cards might feature a "sophisticated sentiment." Bwahahaha. Not prezackly, no. Not as such.

And we have the second-ever challenge of the brand-new Time Out Challenges also featuring butterflies this week:

My sketch foundation came from the current Sieze the Sketch which was designed by the gifted Jen Mitchell:

And my color choice was determined by the current Pals Paper Arts:

There are a few other challenges asking for Easter, spring, bunny, funny, or "Anything Goes" cards, but that's enough for my card today. I like to comment on other entries and that's hard to do if I enter too many. I hope to see you joining in, too! Just click on the links for all the details regarding rules, sponsors, and prizes.

New Friends Corner

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome two new friends for you to meet!

Dawn C. of Lily Pink Scraps. Dawn has been blogging since 2012. She may already be familiar to a lot of you from her works of art on several design teams. Her creations are not limited to cards and each one will inspire and delight you!

Marilyn C. of Who Dat Scrapper. Marilyn loves scrapbooking and making cute and clever cards and other projects. She started her blog in 2012. I met Marilyn when she came to visit my blog after seeing it mentioned by Mary H. of Carolina Cards by Mary H. Thank you, Mary, for the connection! 

And thank you, Dawn and Marilyn, for joining! Welcome to the Playhouse!

There you go, that wasn't too long! Unfortunately seeing all those bunnies on my card reminded me that there are several of them from the Dust Bunny branch hiding under our bed and in the Nooks and Grannies. Crooks and Nannies. Books and Fannies. Okay, sorry, I'll go.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
