Lighthouse Layers


We want to see lots of layers on your creations for the Digi Makeover Challenge by Paper Makeup Stamps!  I love how this lighthouse from Sailing By looks paper-pieced - along with the faux stitching and texture!

Face the Sunshine



Paper Makeup Stamps is looking for Weather Reports over at the Digi Makeover Challenge this week!  My card features images from Jen's Sunshine.  I just replaced the sun's face with one of the word arts and paper pieced it.  I liked the layout from a previous Crazy4Challenges Sketch.  And my white gems were colored yellow with a copic marker to match the sun.  Papers are from Vintage Finds by Teresa Collins.

Winter Friends


Welcome back!  I'm so glad to see you because we have such a fun Flutter By Wednesday challenge for you!  This week, and this week only, it is Anything with Wings.  That's right - break out those birds, dragonflies, ladybugs, angels, dragons or even your fairies and butterflies still and play along with us.  

To make things even more fun - Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD) is sponsoring us this week.  One lucky participant will win a $25 certificate towards items in the SCACD store.  {yay!}

My card features one of SCACD's exclusive stamps by Elisabeth Bell called Winter Friends.  I love to put birdseed out and watch the birds that come to feast.  I would be giddy beyond belief if I could feed one perched right in front of me like this.  {grin}

Trick or Treat



Here are some fun halloween colors and trick or treaters to inspire your creations at Party Time Tuesdays this week!  Remember to put the PTT badge in your sidebars to be eligible for prizes.  {wink}

I have used Frankenstein from The Stamping Boutique for this card's trick-or-treater!  That gorgeous Glitter Orange Crackle paper from The Robin's Nest was perfect for my large pumpkin, as well as the textured cardstock for my ground piece.  I printed my own saying on the computer for my tag.

Digi Silhouettes


The Digi Makeover Challenge is featuring silhouettes on their creations this week.  I have one of my favorite cards to share with you again today.  It is so easy to create your own silhouette image when you use a digi stamp.  I like to use Paint.net and the bucket tool to color in digi images. In this case, I just filled in the line drawing of the sailboat from Sailing By with a light gray color and adjusted the outline itself to a medium gray tone.  Now I've got a great silhouette background to highlight the Sailing Wordart placed over it!

Kraft Butterflies


Flutterby Wednesday wants to see some kraft paper in your creations this week with your fairies or butterflies. I took the 3 butterfly dies from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and arranged them on the piece of white cardstock to cut out the images and use the negative space on my card.  This allows the kraft cardstock behind the white layer to show through.  I like the different sized bling for the different sized butterflies.  {happy grin}  The sentiment is from the Pink by Design "Rock On" set.

Flower Coasters


This week at Party Time Tuesdays we are looking for anything but a card. I've had these acrylic coasters in my stash for a long time and they were the perfect size for the stamps I used from sponsor Flonz Stamps.  The background paper for each coaster is from sponsor The Robin's Nest.

Everyday Miracles


Flutterby Wednesday is looking for some pixie dust this week.  We want to see your creations sparkle and shine!  And don't forget to have a fairy or butterfly on there too.  {wink}

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is our generous sponsor today - one FBW challenge participant will win 3 digis of their choice from the SNSS store!   I have used a butterfly and sentiment from the digi set Everyday Miracles.  I printed the butterfly on pale pink cardstock and softly colored it in with colored pencils.  Then I ran the panel through my Xyron to cover it with adhesive before coating it with some dazzling diamonds glitter.  I just love that quick and easy trick to give a panel or border a sparkly coat!  

It's a bit hard to see, but I also traced the word 'miracle' and it's frame with a clear stardust glitter pen.  I doodled a bit on the Authentique Lively DP with the glitter pen too.  And the 3 pink gems were my final sparkly touch!  {grin}

Make Believe


We're in the Halloween spirit over at Party Time Tuesdays and this little girl is having fun dressing up and playing make believe.  Can you see the little bird on the pumpkin stem?  And I love how her puppy is bringing her fairy wand over.  {grin}
