I like to move it, move it.......

Good evening,
The title of my post has taken me back a few years, 
we had that song at our wedding disco in 1994 !

This week at MDUC we'd like to see something that moves on your card.
Well this sent some of the DT in a bit of a panic ~ Me included, LOL
But it really doesn't have to be too complicated . . .
It can be a moving tag or even a swinging charm.

I have made a wiper card, you can find the tutorial here 

 When opened, a sweet butterfly pops up!

 It's really quite simple to make and I've kept the embellishments fairly low key too.
Sorry for the poor photos, couldn't get the lighting right !

Hope you can join us,
BIG HUGZ

Reading Beauty

Good afternoon,
I had a little play this afternoon with another SC,
I adore this one as it reminds me of Mackenzie, She adores reading.

I have coloured with DIs, and added some frantage.

I'd like to enter the following:
Deep Ocean Challenge ~ Sparkle ( I hope the frantage is sparkly enough)
