Keep Cool

This week is all about Keeping Cool at the Digi Makeover Challenge by Paper Makeup Stamps.  I decided to color up Moody for Snow in cool tones of blue and gray, plus I think she looks "cool" in her winter outfit and the snow falling around her must obviously be cool to the touch!  The saying is one of many from Little Moments.  I love how you can size a digi sentiment to be as big or as small as you want for your card.

Challenges Entered:
Just Inspirational - Snow Picture
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Pastels
Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Spots & Dots
Dream Valley Challenges - Die Cuts & Punches

Flutterby Quilt

This week at Flutterby Wednesday we want to see you use your scraps on your creations ~ along with your butterfly, fairy or angel.  I fished around my scrap bin and pulled out some pieces of pink papers that I had used on this card in February.

I punched out some 1-inch squares to keep them all even-sized and some small butterflies from one of my many scraps of white cardstock.  Even the pink layer that I laid out the pieces on and the burgundy half sheet for my card base were in my scrap box.  {grin}  I really should reach for cut up pieces of paper more and get them used! 

The saying is from the Little Moments set by Paper Makeup Stamps.  I'm also entering this card into the Hope You Can Cling To challenge at SCS Things are Looking Up. 

Thanks for fluttering by and I hope you are inspired to use up some of your scraps on your next creation!

Flutter By in Stripes

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW164 Use Stripes

Crafty Cardmakers - #50 Butterflies

Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central - Bling

This week at Flutterby Wednesday we are looking for stripes on your creations along with your butterfly, fairy or angel!

I used the MFT Butterfly Die-namics to cut butterflies through the striped paper and sahara sand layers.  Then everything that could be outlined with my quickie glue pen and glittered, was!  Everything at my desk sparkles now, heehee. 

The sentiment is from Little Moments by Paper Makeup Stamps. 

Thanks for fluttering by!  Be sure to check out the FBW Blog for more super striped creations from the Flutterby Team!

Moody for Summer

Actually, this Moody Girl is called Moody for Music, but doesn't she look great with these summery yellow papers?  {wink}   Paper Makeup Stamps is celebrating summer with a Blog Hop and links for all the Makeup Artists are below for your convenience. 

I love coloring an image in monochromatic grays and then setting it off with a bright color.  I've used papers from Garden Variety by Cosmo Cricket and A Walk in the Park by Echo Park.  The Kasiercraft Flowers and Opaline Pearls can be found in the PMS Store too!  The sentiment is one of many from Little Moments.

Hello Pinwheel!

Hello! {waving} Welcome to your first stop on Paper Makeup Stamps September Release Blog Hop! My card today features the Pinwheel image that complements the pinwheel-blowing Kat Fairy. I used the cuttlebug candy cane stripe embossing folder on the panels of colored paper. The "Hello!" sentiment is from this month's Little Moments set. For the pinwheel itself, I stamped and colored it three times so I could cut out and layer it for more dimension. Here is a close-up of that.

I added stickles to the green sections for some sparkle and outlined the entire pinwheel in yellow to help frame it on the card. I was so excited to find that tiny button in my collection to help finish off the center of it. {grin}

Here is your first letter towards your discount code for this month's release. We hope you'll join us tonight at the PMS forum for some fun games and chatter at our Release Party. There will be a couple challenges that you can play along with this week too. {yay!} And now it's time to hop to Andrea's blog and see what fantastic feat of Crafty Engineering she has for you today!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the beary best!
