beautiful card with the purple pansy, and love the butterfly inside. I think the 'then' card just shows how different products go in phases with crafting. Now we don't see the texture plates that often but I remember them being all the rage on the tv craft channels a few years ago. Enjoy your weekend, hugs, annie x
