Here are my projects for today!  A list of products used will be listed at the end of this post but I do want to point out these FABULOUS flowers!!  They are from the Petaloo "Color Me Crazy" line and they are SO MUCH FUN to create with!  I decided to use 'Twinkling H2O's' for my coloring of them today and it worked perfectly!  I can't wait to try other coloring media on these flowers ... awesome!

My beautiful butterfly is a digi by "priscillastyles" and you can find it in her store HERE.  Twinkling H2O's were also used here to color the butterfly and leaves.

My matching trinket/goodie box started out as a plain $1 white box from Michael's.  By using the same, and coordinating designer paper along with more Petaloo flowers, I can proudly give this away as a gift for nearly any occasion!
 I thought you'd like to see a different angle of the box as well as a close up of the flowers.
PLEASE come join in the fun over at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and be sure to give this awesome line of colorable flowers a try ... you WON'T be disappointed!!!

Hugs to you all and thanks for sharing this exciting day with me!!
