1 ribbon
1 flair
1 frame

Spoilers: click here to see the mini kit I used for this recipe.

Marisa, the link doesn't work!

there is a H to much at the start of the URL, you can copy the link and when you paste it remove 1 H and then it works

Updated the link!

Most the elements are uploaded to commons. I'm still having trouble uploading a kit. What is the program to zip? (starts with y but I can't remember, I had a Mac crash and lost everything). Thanks.

Looks lovely Robyn. I found this from an email you had with Jordan:

Try another zip program called Keka:  https://www.keka.io/en/ 

There should be an option when zipping to "exclude Mac Os resource forks".

I bough it (Keya) and can't get it to work. But I found the name of the other program in the Forum under Commons. Its YemuZip. Thank you

Hopefully, my project shows up. I have so much trouble getting pictures to post.

The kit I chose did not have a scatter so I created one using elements from the kit. I plucked a scatter from another kit and used it as a guide to create one for this project.

Take two.... golly gee! If this doesn't work to post the picture I'm pretty sure I will need a bottle of wine to tone this frustration down. LOL Sip sip!

UPDATE: Holy hot tamales.... I think this link works!

Wine now for celebration instead of frustration WOO HOO

Looks lovely Gina!

Gina, your kit is so pretty!

If you want your Imgur images to show up in this forum, you first have to click on your image so that it's now larger in Imgur, then look at the list to the right side of the image. Scroll down to the bottom of the list, to where it says "Sizes", and click on whatever size you want the image to be in the forum (I usually click on "Large Thumbnail", but you can click on a smaller one if you want to). Now scroll back up the list and you'll see the words "BBCode (message boards & forums)" and click on the "Copy: button next to that option. This copies the link to your clipboard, and you can then paste it into a Notepad document until you're ready to use it. When you get to the point in your forum comment where you want to insert the image link, just paste the link from the Notepad document, and your image will appear in the comment once you have clicked on "Post Reply".

Robin, if you're still looking for a zip program, I like 7-Zip (Windows only). I've been using it for years, because it's free, it's fast, you can zip and unzip, and I am yet to come across a file type it can't handle. Here's the download link:

https://www.7-zip.org/

I tried clicking on the image but it didn't change size and the only options I have are: Add more images, embed post, download or delete. I even subscribed to the site and nothing changed. Any suggestions?

Hi Gina, you can use this link to show your image here in the forum:

https://i.imgur.com/LHP7MxE.png

I right-clicked the image opened in your imgur link and asked to open the image in another tab. It openned the png URL.
I hope that helps

Ohhhhh lookie lookie lookie.... I did it!!!! Woo Hoo

Doing my funky and extremely awkward happy dance!

Granted.... half of it is cut off but hey progress is progress, right?

Thank you for the challenge, Marisa!

My kit will be available in the Commons shortly.

I love your "Behold, a Butterfly" kit!!!
I've just escaped an abusive and toxic domestic relationship and I'm scooping up all the digital scrapbook pieces about growing, overcoming, loving, and believing in yourself that I can get my hands on. Without a doubt I'll be scooping this one up as well.
I absolutely love everything about it.

Thank you so much, Gina! I appreciate it a lot! I am so sorry to hear about your personal life... However, I am glad that you found your voice and took control.
