Did you know? Cheque fraud refers to a category of criminal acts that involve making the unlawful use of cheques in order to illegally acquire or borrow funds that do not exist within the account balance or account-holder’s legal ownership. Most methods involve taking advantage of the float (the time between the negotiation of the cheque and its clearance at the cheque-writer’s bank) to draw out these funds. Specific kinds of cheque fraud include cheque kiting, where funds are deposited before the end of the float period to cover the fraud, and paper hanging, where the float offers the opportunity to write fraudulent checks but the account is never replenished.

Here’s a card I made with the new Butterfly Kisses and some cherry blossom embellishments I’ve had on had for over a year – how’s that for something new and something old! This stamp and two others were release today and you can read about them at Little Miss Muffet Challenges. If you have a favorite, I’d love to hear your thoughts. ;D

Did you know? To give someone a butterfly kiss, get close enough to their face that when you blink rapidly your eyelashes tickle their cheek. Butterfly kisses can also be a term for poems.

There’s another week left in the Little Miss Muffet Challenge #4 and the theme is an easy one – just use Designer Paper! This is one of the cards I made for the challenge post and just getting around to featuring it here. I used the new Monster Mission digi which comes with three optional mission badges: to the Moon, Mars or Saturn.

Did you know? Valletta is the capital of Malta, colloquially known as Il-Belt (English: The City) in Maltese. It is located in the central-eastern portion of the island of Malta and the city proper has a population of 6,098. Valletta contains buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as Knights Hospitaller. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.

Update: I made the top choices at Scrap-Creations for this challenge!

The challenge this week at Little Miss Muffet Challenges is to use Designer Paper – that’s simple enough for most! Plus I’m have a design team call this month so head on over for all the details. Here’s one of my projects I made using Spring Whisper.

Most of the elements I have used before but the newest on the scene is a paper diecut from the K&Company BW Flora & Fauna package (the cream flower sillouette in the background). These diecuts are large and detailed so I’ve been waiting for just the right project to use one.

Did you know? Flying discs are disc-shaped gliders which are generally plastic and roughly 20 to 25 centimeters (8–10 inches) in diameter, with a lip. The shape of the disc, an airfoil in cross-section, allows it to fly by generating lift as it moves through the air while rotating.The term Frisbee, often used uncapitalized generically to describe all flying discs, is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company. Such use is not encouraged by the company, whose concern is that the use of the name in generic fashion may put the trademark in jeopardy.
