Star Trek Framed Artwork Shape Card

My daughter digitally sketched the Star Trek images for me after I went to see the Star Trek movie.

Used Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge Crown image for the frame shaped card. Chose the Crown frame because I think the triangular shapes resemble the shapes of the Star trek symbol on the Star Trek uniforms. Printed the artwork on HP glossy photo paper. Stamped the sentiment on white cardstock. Cut the left & right ends of the sentiment tag using a Stampin' Up 3/4" circle to give it a triangular look similar to the frame & uniform symbol. Thought the sentiment was perfect considering how Captain Kirk & Spock feel for one another.

artwork: sketch created digitally by my daughter
Cricut cartridge: Elegant Edges Crown Frame 5.75" two welded together with Gypsy to make shaped card.

Caterpillar Butterfly Tag

Created this Tag using several stamps with a Summer Garden theme. Stamped the Butterfly twice, once on the tag & once on another cardstock. Paper pieced the Butterfly cutting out with scissors. Added Enamel accents, liquid Pearls, Spellbinder swirls, stickles & ribbon.














Found this Worm this morn on our Early Girl 
Tomato plant in our greenhouse. Hubby put it 
in a wooden planter near the fence. Figured it 
would be out of view of birds. Gave it a few 
more tomato stalks with leaves. We watched 
the Caterpillar eating very fast. It had eaten 
down the tops of our Tomato plants. Hubby did 
some research on as to id this and found out it 
is a Tomato Horned (see the red horn on the back)
Worm and not a Caterpillar to become a Butterfly. 
The Internet indicates that the larvae comes in the 
soil of the plants & recommends to squish them to 
get rid of them. We found a 2nd one on our Cherry 
Tomato plant. Cked on the wooden planter and the 
2 Worms are gone. Hubby found 2 more on the 
Tomato plants and do not think they are the same
first two. He is now tossing them over the fence for
the birds to eat them.












Photographed this Black Swallowtail Butterfly 
in our front yard a couple wks ago.
