Fermi Paradox: According to notable Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, humans evolve in a universe exempt from highly intelligent civilizations. However, the world of physics also contains abundant estimates for the probability of extraterrestrial civilizations, seemingly contradicting the lack of evidence we have of them: a paradox known as the Fermi Paradox.
Although a good deal of the recorded folklore portrays the faeries as self-interested and insular, there are some notable exceptions. The best known are the brownies, lobs, hobs and boggarts who will live in close proximity to humans and perform tasks on their behalf, just like a farm hand or domestic servant. Then there are…

Hi Friends! First, my thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Southern California. So many have had their entire lives ripped away from them by the wildfires plaquing their communities. I'm hoping the lack of winds today will help the firefighters contain the fires. That being said, I'm so excited to join all these talented crafters for the Altenew January Release Blog Hop! You may have come from the one-and-only Cathy Zielske, but if not feel free to start your hop at Altenew. There's a lot I'm anxious to share so let's get right to it! The Craft Your Life Project Kit: Butterfly Garden has this amazing set of stencils that creates a beautiful collection of butterflies, foliage, and dots. There's also a die to cut these all out at the same time, which I've done for a subsequent card, but for this card I chose to feature them all uncut as a patterned paper. I did cut a set of butterflies from plain white cardstock, and used one to cover the middle butterfly, bending the wings up so you can still get a peek at the colors underneath. Ombre enamel dots down the buterfly's body match the ink colors. These are some of the butterflies I cut out from that large sheet, flying out of the stamped mason jar. I like that the die cuts pretty close to the image. The fancy gold-embossed HOPE sentiment is from this Butterfly Garden set as well. Here's another version of that card, but with a vellum mason jar, and solid cardstock butterflies. The background is a bit smoother (almost like cement), as I inked onto the dry side of the card instead of the wet side in the prior example. What a great sentiment!! Coordinating with the Butterfly Garden, there's a stand alone Serene Garden embossing folder that has an incredible amount of detail in the main butterfly, as well as some florals. It's all you really need for a card! Before embossing, I inked up the folder with warm gray and was able to really highlight the embossed images in white. Another useful set is the Have Faith Word Die - bonus that EVERYTHING is connected, even the dot on the "i" yay! This Garden Bench set is just so adorable, and the best thing is that even with all of the detail on the bench with the wood slats and the wrought iron scroll frame, there are only three pieces to cut and assemble. Thoughtfully designed! This is one of the sentiments that comes with the mini stamp set, and I think it's a sweet way to send your sympathies to someone. Finally, the Carnation Layering Dye Set really impressed me. Aside from the ease of cutting the petals and leaves all at one time, there are some nice debossed areas in the middle of the petals and veins of the leaves to give extra interest. I cut all petal layers out of a light pink cardstock and then inked the different layers. Extra foliage from the Butterfly Garden are tucked into the grouping. To balance the large black sentiment on top, and the thin black secondary sentiment, I wanted some black on the bottom of the card too, but black cardstock was feeling a bit flat. So I went into my basement storage area and grabbed some black lace. Perfect! Giveaway Info: $300 in total prizes!
