Arizona Here I Come!

Hello dear friends
Today is the day I fly to Arizona, in fact I'm at the airport when this post gets published!
A quick shot of my pretty new luggage, if I could have found butterflies it would have been better 
but I'm still pleased with happy daisies! 
I will be posting while I'm away so I do hope you can visit ...also there will be a giveaway..
my biggest one yet!!  On my return I will post some photos too.
It seems appropriate today to share a layout I created  - 
it sums up my Spellbinders experience - Window of Opportunity.
I had a moment of inspiration and used the Square Petal Top Box die as a mask and template for a window,
popping butterfly printed vellum into the panels as windows.  
I loved creating this - it has sewing, flowers and my butterflies of course!
My journalling explains how thrilled I am to be on the Spellbinders team and that feeling has never gone away.  
I am so looking forward to another year of creativity, new things and sharing them all with you.
Take care friends, I'm back with you tomorrow.

Love your luggage. How brave to be flying all that way on your own. The layout is beautiful. Wish I just had a small measure of your imagination. Still I will be borrowing some of yours for as long as you keep posting. Enjoy your trip.

Have a wonderful time in Arazona. Can't wait to follow your blog whilst you are away. To see the many projects you create whilst there. Very envious of you, all the wonderful stash that is only available in the States and you are going to get to play with so much of it.
The L/O is so very dreamy, great use of the box die. Off to try that. Have a safe journey and enjoy yourself.
