Blossom Word Block



Flutterby Wednesday has an Open Challenge this week - anything goes as long as there is a butterfly or fairy on your creation!  We also would like to welcome Bugaboo Digi Stamps as this month's sponsor.  One lucky stamper will win 7 digis as a prize for fluttering along with us this week.  

I love the new Blossom Word Block digi released this month at Bugaboo.  The flower and leaves are colored twice, with the second set cut out and popped up.  And I promise that ribbon matches better in real life - not sure why it looks so dull in the photo.  :)

Something New at Flutterby Wednesday


We're kicking off the New Year at Flutterby Wednesday with a challenge of "In with the New".   You can use something new on your creation or make it a "new" theme such as "new baby", "new house", etc.  Don't forget to have a butterfly or fairy on your project too!

I must have been a very good girl last year b/c I got a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas! {yay! thanks Mom!}  It's going to be so much fun learning how to use it.  I found this darling butterfly card template in the Silhouette America on-line store and it's the very first thing I cut out with my new machine.  

I ran the white panel through my xyron to cover it with adhesive.  That made it super easy to stick behind the cut-out frame on the front of my card and then cover the rest in glitter for some lots of sparkly goodness!

Just My Style


The Digi Makeover Challenge by Paper Makeup Stamps has another "Anything Goes with a digi" theme this week.  Have some New Year's fun and come along and join us!

I've brought back this favorite card featuring Retail Therapy.  I just love how the paper-piecing and sparkle made this fun dress "pop".

Get Well Soup


The Digi Makeover Challenge at Paper Makeup Stamps has an "Anything Goes with a digi" theme for the next two weeks.   That makes it easy as pie, or soup in my case, to play along during the holidays!

I've brought back this favorite card featuring Color Kid with Soup and  Happy Get Well Note.  My boys have been run-down and sick an awful lot this month - and I'm so happy they are finally both well just in time for Christmas tomorrow!

Happy Holiday Colors


Party Time Tuesdays has an inspiration / color challenge that's just right for the last week before Christmas!

And be sure to greet the newly announced Party Planners when you stop by the PTT Blog to link up your creations!


My card features one of my favorite sets ever from sponsor Paper Makeup Stamps - Nature's Song.  It's a set that was only available in rubber and has sold out now.  But the good news is you can still get any rubber stamps that are left in inventory for 75% off with the voucher code CLOSEOUT75. 

Don't forget to add the Party Time Tuesdays badge to your sidebar to be eligible for prizes and Top 3!

Warm Memories


Flutter by Wednesday is having open challenges all month long - anything goes as long as you have a butterfly or fairy somewhere on your creation!

I've been busy caring for a sick son and getting him to all his appts. - so I'm sharing a favorite card of mine from a few years ago.  This is Henry the Snow Angel Fairy from Paper Makeup Stamps.  I have many fond memories of making snow angels when I was a girl and love this sentiment stamp that I found at a local craft store by Great Impressions.
