Chef Bug-ardee

This is another recipe card for the Cricut Cookbook swap....in my favorite category...desserts.  I used one of my kids' favorite recipes...nothing too exotic from me in the recipe category on this swap.  It is a 6 x 6 card that was inspired by a tag I saw when I recently participated in a stick pin swap.  It was made by Colleen (gonescrappin on the MB).  You can see her adorable tag and stick pins here.  I just loved her bug - and when I was thinking about what I would do for this next swap, this idea popped into my head.  Thanks, Colleen!  I love it when that happens.  I  had to sit down and make a prototype right away.  I wasn't too happy with the results at first, but with a little assistance from Sis Patterson over at Paper, Craft, and Scissors I was able to tweak it into something that I think is cute...and so fitting for this swap.  Thanks for use of that amazing creative eye of yours, Sis!  My cute crocheted butterfly comes from my sweet friend Tatiana over at Created by Tatiana.  She has an etsy store where she sells her gorgeous crochet creations.  This card may be my favorite of all the recipe cards I have created for this swap so far.  I love the symbolism of it.  I know every time I see it, I will be reminded of this fun swap and these fabulous ladies who have made it such a memorable adventure.
