DDLL - Lili the Skunk

Hey All My Crafty Friends

Welcome to another digital Thursday for Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  This week I am using the super "Stinkin" cute digi Lili the Skunk. 

I am so glad the weather is starting to warm up and the cold days of winter are almost behind us.  Spring is my favorite time of year and I so look forward to seeing butterflies and dragonflies flying in the air.  There is just something really enchanting about watching a butterfly fly through the air.  Makes me know that God's amazing grace is always around. So when I saw Lili holding the sweet little butterfly ... It reminded me that I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life and how special our time here is...

As I always say its the journey through life that is most important... For a butterfly their life is not that long..but there journey to being a butterfly is what makes them simply amazing.  :0)

So on to today's project :
