I actually find it a good thing ’cause it finally means an end to this miserable desert heat I live in-Ack! I do love the fall weather in the desert and of course it’s fun to see the kiddos start to get excited about putting up the Halloween decorations.
When I think of Summer, I think of vacations, swimming, cold drinks, butterflies at the lake and the kiddos being able to play outside late.

I decided to play with my brand-spanking- new Cricut cartridge (that I just happened to purchase on clearance-thank you very much), Cricut Tablescapes- Spring & Summer. Fun cartridge, lots of ideas and totally worth the clearance price!
I cut the butterfly base out of Kraft paper and enhanced it with Echo Park Paper, buttons and twine. Of course, whenever I use Kraft paper it just has to have some faux stitching added along the edges too.
I stuck my pretty butterfly on a mason jar full of one of my favorite ice cold drinks…Diet Pink Lemonade. Wouldn’t a bunch of butterflies like this make a pretty statement on a picnic table? They could even be used as place cards.

Very Beautiful!!Just Lovely!
Have a wonderful day,

LOVE this Holly! So pretty.
what a fun project and super cute.
Adorable butterfly!!
I really enjoyed your interpretation of “lavishly layer” – all the buttons, and color. Thank you for playing along with us this week at The Kraft Journal !
That butterfly really caught my eye. I love it! It just screams summer sitting on the edge of an icy glass of pink lemonade.
Fabulous!
