Square Silhouette

Splitcoast Ways to Use It - WT310 Silhouettes
Splitcoast Clean and Simple - CAS106 Sketch

Here's a simple card that I made for two Splitcoast challenges today.  How nice to have a quiet day and some time for stamping!  February really seems busier than December for me every year.  There are just lots of extra school things that happen these winter weeks that are good and fun, but extra work and running around too. 

The center square of this card is the part that opens.  The textured scallop square on the black mat is just a backing for the card.  I masked the center square and sponged a few colors over the floral silhouette from Faith Hope Love.  The sentiment is from the Will to Daydream Kit.  

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

Hearts A-Flutter

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW141 at least 3 hearts
Michelle Perkett - Passing a Note/Valentines
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - #46 Hearts a Flutter
Digital Tuesday Challenge - #97 From the Heart
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Have a Heart


This week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is to have at least three hearts with your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.  On my card I have used a digi image by Michelle Perkett called Butterfly Fairy.  I flipped her to face right before printing and colored her in with copics.  The butterflies are coated with a stardust glitter pen and her wings with a clear spica glitter pen for a softer shimmer.  I used the smallest heart nestie shape for the corner hearts and covered them with dazzling diamonds glitter.  {grin}

I {heart} birthdays

Paper Makeup Stamps is turning 2 years old! And to celebrate the occasion, we are having a super fun VIP blog hop with the theme "the things we love". The entire design team invited special crafters to play along in this hop. To see everyone involved, please go back to the Paper Makeup Stamps company blog for a master list as well as to enter yourself to win a super fabulous prize!  

Today is my younger son's 11th birthday and I found this perfect sketch at Stamp With Fun for his card.  I have used our favorite colors, which he expects on all of his hand-made cards from me.  {wink}  Gus the Birthday Monster is the type that you just want to cuddle and not run and hide from, haha.

Next you want to hop on over to my special guest's blog {Nancy} and see the sweetest card ever that she's created for you!

Football Fan Thanks

Bearly Mine Challenge - #3 For Men and/or Boys
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - Dots & Stripes

This might seem like an odd pairing of image and sentiment.  My son went through my stash of cards for a teacher thank you and declared that they were all "too pretty" for his English teacher at school, {LOL}.  He said he would like a football thank you for him in Steeler's colors since his teacher is a Steelers fan.  He liked this crazy image called Football Fan Monster and I colored him with copics to match Steeler colors.  Then we thought this Shakespeare quote was good for an English teacher.  I thought the dotted texture on the background was like a football and added a couple strips of paper to mimic the stripes on the helmet. 

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

Birthday Time

The Sweet Stop Sketch - SSS93
ABC Challenge - N is for Nestie

Happy 2nd Birthday, Paper Makeup Stamps! To start the celebration, this Natalie Fairy has been released as a digi stamp. I had to color her pink since that's the "official" PMS color. {grin} And that led me to the yummy papers and flower in the Mon Cheri kit.

We'll be celebrating Paper Makeup's birthday all month long! Be sure to come back for a special blog hop on the 7th about the Things We Love and that night we'll have a birthday chat in the PMS forum. I've heard whisperings about some sales coming up too so get your wishlists ready! {wink}

Amore

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW140 Open Challenge
Michelle Perkett Studios - Scallops & Frames

It's the first Wednesday of the month and that means we have a sponsor at Flutterby Wednesday. Check out all the beautiful digi stamps at Michelle Perkett Studios Etsy Shop.

For my card I have paper pieced the lovely Amore Fairy. I was in a very sparkly mood, so I have colored her wings and flowers with Sakura Stardust glitter pens. {sigh} I just love the shimmer of those pens! I highlighted her frame with one of those pens too, and the black cardstock is some Sparkle Noir from Paper Temptress.

Thanks for fluttering by! Remember to use a fairy, angel or butterfly on your creation this week for the Open Challenge!
