I love the idea of looking out for Life's Surprises, like seeing butterflies in the middle of winter! This image from "All Dressed Up" is the freebie for the Progressive Challenge at The Outlawz, and it's a perfect example of what I mean.
I started by coloring with my ProMarkers, then used Pinpoint Rectangle dies (Memory Box) to cut both the image and the dp mat behind it. I bought that set over a year ago, used it a couple of times and then bought two or three sets of stitched dies and this one got relegated to the bottom of the pile. I dug it out to use it on this card and can't imagine why I haven't used it more!
I chose two different ribbons from my stash, one a patterned satin and the other a sparkly sheer, layered them together and wrapped them around glittered CS from a new-to-me paper stack by DCWV. I tied the bow using more of the sheer ribbon.

I hope you've managed to dig out from under the snow or rain or whatever the weatherman brought to your part of the country the last few days. Out here on the West Coast, we've had a day of rain, then a day of light clouds or even sunshine, then another day of rain. There may be two more storms coming in over the rest of this week. If so, I'll use the rainy days as excuses to stay in and craft. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
