Great Things

Flutterby Wednesday  is going to have OPEN challenges all month long ~ just have a butterfly or fairy on your creation and you're good to go!  {wink}

For the first week of December we have a the extra bonus of a prize certificate for $10 offered by Di's Digi Downloads.  

I used a butterfly die-cut to create a template that I could use to sponge a blue butterfly over my word art from the PMS set Dream Big. I edged the circle with sparkly, blue spica glitter pen.  My shimmery paper is from the Butterflies and Blossoms pad by DCWV. 

My card also fits the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge going on at the Digi Makeover Challenge by Paper Makeup Stamps.  My 3-in-a-row go down the right side "Sparkle, Word Art, Designer Paper"

Punching Butterflies

At Flutter By Wednesday this week we want you to PUNCH IT!  Get out your punches and/or dies for your creations and don't forget to add a fairy or butterfly to your challenge too!

I used an American Girl Crafts Butterfly Border Punch for my kraft strips of paper, then layered a different bright color behind each one.  My sentiment is from Woodware's Garden Greetings set.

Thanks for fluttering by my blog today.  I always appreciate your visit.  {grin}  Now flutter on over to see all the clever ways the team used punches at Flutter By Wednesday!  Then link yours up for us to enjoy too!  {wink}

Warm Winter Wishes

Party Time Tuesdays has an Anything Goes Challenge this week!  

My card features the digi Snowman Frame from sponsor Crafty Sentiments.  I colored it in Paint.net and then inserted it into a Word document where I could copy and paste it 3 times to get it the same size and all in a row.  

The digi sentiment is from Snow Happy by Paper Makeup Stamps.  I again inserted it in the Word document, then copied, pasted and changed the color of the second one to make a shadow for my quote.  

My favorite bit is the silver stickles outline!  {grin}

Christmas Snowflakes

Now that Thanksgiving is past, we are looking for Christmas or holiday projects at the Digi Makeover Challenge.

Here I created a background in Word with the snowflake from Color It Winter.  And it may be hard to tell, but the sentiment from Season's Greetings was layered on top digitally - again in Word.  That's one piece of white cardstock for the main panel.  I just printed, taped it to colored paper and added some bling.

Be sure to stop by the PMS blog for other Christmas inspiration and to enter your own holiday creation to this week's challenge!

FBW215 - Sketch

 We have another beautiful sketch by Kathy for this week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge.  Just make sure you have your butterfly or fairy on your creation when you play along!

I decided to feature some pretty paper from the Gabrielle collection by Bo Bunny.  All the panels are traced with a stardust glitter pen for some extra sparkle too.  Sentiment is from PTI Through the Trees.

Thanks for stopping by.  It's nice to create some cards again after Hurricane Sandy forced me to take a break for awhile. {grin}

Grateful for You
