Tried Michaels again. . .

The closest Michaels store to me is a smaller store and they do not carry everything I see on videos and blogs from other card makers. Recently crafters have shown new products for paper crafting that Mikes is stocking but I have been to this store twice and they only have a few of the newer items...... then I saw a video on YouTube from "Eve Ara" and she was making butterflies using the Butterfly die set from KSCRAFTS. . . . 

On her butterflies she layered the wings and she used acetate sheets from Creatology, which is a brand at Mikes and this brand has lots of craft kits and supplies for kids. Well, I knew I wanted to pick up some of these acetate sheets but rather than go to the smaller store I decided I would go the largest Mike's in our area and see if I could find these sheets as well as see all the new items I have seen shown on YouTube at Mikes.... I was happy to see that this store had all the new items, supplies, stamps, die sets, embossing folders, tools that Mikes is now carrying in the paper crafting section that I have seen on YouTube videos and other crafters blogs.... I picked up two of their new die sets that I wanted:

Off to the Creatology section of the store -- this store had two full aisles of this brand/products. Walked up and down these aisles twice looking for the acetate sheets.... found nothing..... I saw a clerk walking by and I asked her if they had these sheets and if not could she check another store for me? She looked up the product and said they are on another aisle -- so there they were.... next to clay supplies.... WHY they were there I do not know but certainly happy to find them! I picked up two clear packs - one in pinks/yellows and one in blues/purples and a pack of the darker colours:

When I got home I made up some new butterflies using scrap printed card stocks and these acetate sheets using the ScrapDivaDesign Butterflies die set:

The acetate sheets cut with one pass in the die cutting machine and I assembled the butterflies:

Added paper roses from the stash to finish the butterflies:

And altogether:

The acetate layers bring a lot of sparkle/shine to the butterflies - here is a photo of the first butterflies I had made using this die set before I used these new acetate sheets:

Still a pretty butterfly but the acetate brings a whole other layer to these butterflies. Happy to have seen these sheets in use from "Eve Ara" on her butterfly embellishments!
