A Flutterby Recipe

This week we have a recipe for you to follow at Flutterby Wednesday.  And just wait until you see all the creations "cooked up" by the FBW design team - yum!  You can check out their links in my sidebar.  {wink}

And here's the recipe: the color blue, lace, at least 3 flowers and at least one butterfly.  Obviously, I've used some blue paper and I colored my lace blue to match with a B23 copic marker.  The flowers and pearls are from SU!'s retired Paper Pretties kit - again I colored the pearl centers with a Y35 copic marker.  Love being able to color accesories to match!  :)  And of course, my favorite Martha Stewart butterfly punch to the rescue for adding a couple sweet butterflies to my card. 

Now isn't that Thankful Tommy Turtle from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps cute?  And the best thing is his digi image came pre-colored - what a blessing this busy, busy week. {grin}  I followed the sketch from The Sweet Stop and the theme for Sweet 'n Sassy's Digi Challenge is favorite things.  Flowers and butterflies have long been favorites of mine, as well as cute critters like this turtle! 



Frosty Winter Kisses

It's time for another sketch at the Digi Makeover Challenge by Paper Makeup Stamps.  You can win some PMS digi stamps of your choice if you play along with us.  Just be sure to use a digi image with the sketch and link it up at the PMS Blog.  {wink}

I have used the newest fairy named Hayden on my card and I created the background with the snowflake from Color It Winter Tags. 

And just in case you missed it, Katie has made a very important announcement on the PMS Blog.  Paper Makeup Stamps is switching to all digi images and the rubber stamps are being sold off at a 45% discount when you use the code CLOSEOUT45 in your shopping cart. 

Need a cuddle?

Flutterby Wednesday is sponsored by Paper Pretties this week!  I've used Cuddle Me Sophia on my card.  We are featuring another OPEN challenge - just remember your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation!

Twenty Years from now

This week the Digi Makeover team from Paper Makeup Stamps is featuring a color challenge.  Be sure to check out all the yummy creations from our Makeup Artists on the PMS Blog!  {wink}

My favorite thing about using a digi stamp is being able to size it large or small. I printed this inspiring Twenty Years From Now  quote large enough to fill most of my card design.  Such a great way to make some Word Art the focal point of your card.   {grin}

Thanks for the visit and I wish you all the beary best!

We have everyone's favorite challenge at Flutterby Wednesday this week - It's OPEN, just remember to use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation!  {wink}

I found the cutest angel ever at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!  Meet Angelic Oliver!  I've paper pieced him with some scraps I had on my table to fit the SNSS Digi Challenge.  And I followed the sketch from The Sweet Stop.

Tree Background

Welcome back!  This week the Digi Makeover Challenge from Paper Makeup Stamps is to create your own background using digi stamps. 

I decided to take the Twisty Tree digi and size it large to fill up my card's background.  I colored it brown and orange on the computer and overlaid the Like Branches digi word art on it.  I printed it twice, so I could highlight the saying to make it stand out more. 

There are lots of wonderful examples of digi backgrounds created by the Digi Makeup Artists on the PMS Blog - be sure to take a peek!
