It's a Fluttery Blog Hop!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Just a few more days til the weekend, yay!

It's the first Flutter By Wednesdays challenge of 2012 and it's also a blog hop! So if you are here from Leanne's blog, you're in the right place! If you just stopped by to visit, hello there. Our blog hop starts {HERE}. We are welcoming 4 new members to our team ~ Karen, Leanne, Lynette and Suzanne! Welcome ladies!

This week's challenge is an open one - just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation! Please enter your creation {HERE} and check out this week's sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps and see how you can win! We'd also like to thank the ladies that played along with our month long December challenge! It was so nice to see some people getting crafty during one of the busiest months of the year.

This is my first creation of the year~

I dug deep into my printed Bugaboo Stamps stash and chose Ava Fairy to play with. She's colored with prismacolor pencils and I've highlighted a few areas with Smooch Illuminate. The layout is from SCS363.

It's time to flutter on to your next stop ~ Mary!

A Bugaboo Birthday Sundaes!

Good morning!

Today's Birthday Sundaes Challenge is our popular Anything Goes Birthday Card Challenge - just remember to include birthday wording/greeting on your card front!

We are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and the winner will receive 7 free digis of their choice, how cool is that?! Jodie, the owner, generously provided our team with images to use. Check out the Birthday Sundaes blog to enter your card and to see all the neat samples from the team!

Here is my card using Stella Birthday - Eat More Cake ~

I was inspired by several entries last week using the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folder so I just had to pull mine out and use it!  The designer paper is from one of the My Mind Eye's Stella Rose pads.  I cut Stella out with Nestabilities and colored her in with copics.  This was my first attempt at grey hair, I kinda like it!  I add Diamond Glaze to part of the balloon and ice cream. Pearls from my stash are around the oval.

Have a great day and we hope to see your entry this week at Birthday Sundaes!

It's Party Time!

I'm a little late to the party this week but here is my card! I had to clear a path to my printer so that I could print the images out and then clear a small spot to work on my desk...my scraproom is a MESS! I took pictures but they are way too embarrassing to post!! I need more time in my day so I can finish getting everything back where it belongs.

Back to the reason you are here, it's Party Time Tuesdays! This week it's the popular Anything Goes Birthday challenge, please visit the blog for all the details and samples from the design team.

I made this for my stepdad's birthday tomorrow. I think it will crack him up! The image is Gus from Bugaboo Stamps and the coordinating sentiment came with him.

I'll be back in a few days with a new PaperCutz challenge!

Paper Cutz Challenge #65

TGIF!!!

Today's PaperCutz Challenge is to make a card, layout or craft project for Breast Cancer Awareness using any colors you'd like.

Here is my take on the challenge~

The adorable ribbon bear is a freebie that I downloaded from Bugaboo Stamps earlier this week. I painted the ribbon with Tutu Pink paint from Creative Inspirations, IRL it sparkles so nicely but my camera didn't pick that up.

I used this week's Techno Stamper sketch~
