How To Make A Paper Folded Butterfly
I recently found a site that teaches you how to make a pretty folded paper butterfly in a few simple steps(Like the one in this picture). The butterfly can be used anywhere,example styling your cards that you make! This tutorial is easy and simple to understand. So, why not try making it? You might end up with a Smashing Creation!
Possibilities Are Endless.
STEP 1
You will need two matching pieces of paper for this and because the projects is small try to keep your pattern small too otherwise it will be lost on the folds.
Place your chosen paper face down and make the first fold from corner to corner. Crease the paper and then open it out.
Crease again in the opposite direction, again from corner to corner.
You will get a really sharp crease by using a Bone folder.
STEP 2
Take the point and crease it to the fold in the paper.
You can see that some of the white to the paper is showing so if you ink the edges before you fold then they won't show on the finished butterfly.
STEP 3
To fold the wings I keep my finger in the centre, as this is the bit that will form the body.
Take the part of the wing that is opposite the point and fold it down towards the point....
..
.and do the same for the other side.
The photo shows you how it should look when you have done this.This is the first part of the wings and now you need to do exactly the same with the other matching piece of paper.
Try to keep your wings the same so that when they are side by side they don't look odd.
The two wings will now be ready for you to attach them to the front of your card.You can add some of the little stamens for the antennea or a small piece of wire that you can bend into shape. Watch the tutorial video:
This awesome tutorial i found on Card Making Magic
Its definitely one of the Smashing Creations!!!

Amazing Formations Found In Space
There's hardly a book that you can lift into your hands,open it and flip through pages without needing to even Skim Read through any sentence and you are just Enchanted by the Content of The Book.It's Rarely known unless you're in the Adult section.....however I Stumbled upon the book which describes in Pictures the Beauty of the Universe and it truly took my breath away. I was standing there, my eyes buried into the book,gazing at these Majestic images of a Universe that we haven't been exposed to as normal Civilians. I was impressed and would have purchased the book if i hadn't engaged myself and my mates in a huge meal at McDonald's. You probably thinking how can that cost alot? well lets just leave it as i had some really hungry Friends.......
This was a few years ago and i thought that I would get a hold of a few pictures that are from this book and Post it for you to be Mesmerized.The Classy feel about this is that the book explains details to each of the Formations that have been captured,one that really caught my attention is the Butterfly Nebular,a truly spectacular sight but unfortunately at hand i do not possess the name of the book as it is top secret, 007 level secret but maybe I can try and pull a few strings with my FBI buddies to get a hold of the Book and it's name.

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh yeah
Good, good life
Good life
Ooh
Listen
My friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
