[DYSU] Challenge #60 - Distress

Hello there! I'm still dragging around like a little sick puppy. Turns out after the surgery I have been plagued by a very stubborn UTI. I'm on my fourth course of antibiotics, and they gave me the "good stuff." I'm currently feeling a little subpar, mainly super sleepy and dizzy due to the antibiotics. So Florian has been my personal chauffeur. He's been the best!

In the meantime, this week at DYSU we have the best challenge Distress. And a huge announcement to make: Digi Darla is giving *every participant* a coupon code for a free digi. All the more reason to participate right? :)



This week I'm showcasing a little bit of Bugaboo goodness.

Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink; (Corrugated Card Stock - Kraft) RAK; (Chloe's Closet Collection) Making Memories

I had some printer woes, but Florian managed to print it off on his with a little bit of Adobe and email magic. Well, we pretty much hit the "buy" button on some new printer cartridges. I decided to back this little butterfly on some little corrugated card stock, trimmed it out, and used an X-acto knife to distress the edge.

Come Away With Me...

This pattern paper has been sitting in my stash for a while, and i decided it was perfect for this little bright, sweet card.

Come Away With Me...
