FBW #208 - Pixie Dust

Good morning!

Today's Flutter By Wednesdays Challenge is Pixie Dust! Use lots of sparkle and include a butterfly or fairy on your project. We are sponsored by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps this week and they generously provided the team with digis to use. Enter your project {HERE} for a chance to win 3 digis and check out all the DT inspiration too!

I chose Coneflowers and Butterfly to use on my card.

I used lots of shimmer and sparkle on my card!  I had SO much fun making it and getting messy!  I used Luminarte Silk Glazes to paint my image and then I outlined the image layer and mat layer with Diamond Stickles.  The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for fluttering by today!

Flutter By Wednesdays #207

It's Flutter By Day!

Today's Flutter By Wednesdays challenge is the popular Anything Goes - just remember to include a butterfly or fairy on your project. Link up HERE and check out all the DT Inspiration!

I found a cool sketch at iClassygirl.com and rolled with that and some of the same supplies I used on last week's card - still loving the washi tape! Cardstock is PTI and patterned paper is Authentique Delightful.  Sentiment is from a Scrappy Moms stamp set and the butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart.

Here's the sketch~

I'll be back in a few hours with the SITS Girls Fall into Blogging Day 3 post!

A Sketchy Flutter By Wednesdays

Happy Wednesday!

Time for another FBW challenge! This week we have a fun sketch by our very own, Kathy!  Just remember to include a butterfly or fairy on your card.  You can enter it HERE.

Here is the sketch~

And here is my take on it~

I challenged myself not to take the sketch so literal (by using scalloped pieces) and used washi tape for my background. I LOVE how it looks!  Different and fun!  I must get more LOL!  The patterned paper is from Authentique Delightful and I used some PTI ribbon along with two different Martha Stewart butterfly punches.  The pretty quote is from the Verve Kind Words stamp set. 

TFL!

FBW #205 ~ Favorite color!

Happy Flutter By Day!

Today's Flutter By Wednesdays challenge is to use your favorite color along with a butterfly or fairy.  This week we have a sponsor ~ Paper Makeup Stamps! One lucky winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to use on PMS digi images.  Enter your creation {HERE} and check out all the wonderful DT samples too!

PMS was kind enough to provide the team with images to use, however I chose to use something from my vast collection of PMS.  I chose to use a WordArt for my card - Sing, Love, Dance, Live.

And some long time followers might be wondering when my favorite color changed from pink lol.  Last winter I fell in LOVE with some butterfly material at Joann's.  It's black with white, yellow and grey butterflies.  It has yet to be turned into curtains for my scrap room but I'm hoping my mom will be able to make them soon.  I plan to repaint my pink craft room grey in the next few months and add black/white accents and pops of color.  This Authentique paper is some of my favorite - its from the Blissful line.

My card was made using this week's Feeling Sketchy sketch ~ it was the perfect starting point for my WordArt!

Thanks for fluttering by today!

Happy Wednesday...halfway to a long weekend. Woohoo!

The challenge at Flutter By Wednesdays today is to create a card with a butterfly or fairy and decorate the inside of your card. Fun!!  I always love seeing the decorated insides of cards but rarely take the time to do it myself so this was a great challenge for me :)

I decided to make a Gate Fold card using THESE instructions on Splitcoast Stampers.

And here is the inside~

Flutter By Wednesdays #202

Happy Wednesday!

I'm here to share my card for this week's Flutter By Wednesdays challenge.

The challenge is to create a friendship card using a butterfly or fairy.  It's a sponsored challenge this week! One lucky winner will win a prize from Saturated Canary.  You can enter your card HERE and check out the DT cards on the blog too.

Each team member was provided an image to work with - I chose Pigtails. Loved the little doggy in the basket :)

Flutter By Wednesdays Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening Hop for Flutter By Wednesdays!  I'm so happy to have a reason to flutter on Wednesdays again and hope you will all join in our challenge fun!

You should have fluttered here from Kathy's blog and if you just happened to stop by (hi!), please join us for the hop starting at the Flutter By Wednesdays blog. If for any reason you get lost along the way, the full list of hoppers is on the blog as well.

Our challenge this week is OPEN, just include a butterfly or fairy on your project! You can enter your project HERE!

Here is my card for this week~

I debated for days on what to make LOL.  I couldn't decide on an image to color so when I was using my Cricut on another card, I thought it would be fun to use a die cut butterfly this week.  This butterfly was cut at approximately 3 inches from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge.  The bright happy papers are from the Be You 6x6 pad by Fancy Pants.  I outlined the cutouts on the butterfly to help it stand out a bit more and popped the whole thing up with pop dots.  The sentiment is from a My Pink Stamper set.

Your next stop on the hop is Michelle VP!

Thanks for fluttering by today and I hope you will join this week's challenge!

Exciting News!

Did you hear that Flutter By Wednesdays is back?? Isn't that awesome!




I"m proud to announce that I am on the Design Team!  After hearing that FBW would be back, I decided to end my DT hiatus by applying for a spot on this team.  This challenge has always been near and dear to me as I just {heart} butterflies and fairies.    I'm so excited to join Danni and the rest of the fabulous design team that she has assembled.  You can meet the whole crew HERE and be sure to join us for our first challenge on Wednesday, August 15th!

FBW #195 - Open challenge

Sigh...I'm having a hard time starting this post.

Today marks my last challenge with Flutter By Wednesdays....after being on and off the team a few times over the last three years, I have decided to step down permanently.  I've needed to make some changes in life and this is one of them.  I want to thank Danni for having me on the team for so long, it's my favorite challenge and I will still be playing along when time permits (which I hope is often)! To all my FBW teammates, it's been a pleasure to design with you and I'll still be fluttering by your blogs!

On to the challenge...this week's is open! Just be sure to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. Click {HERE} to enter your project. For more inspiration from the rest of the team, please visit the links on my sidebar or on the FBW blog. 

Here is my card~

I colored this image weeks ago and finally got her on a card.  This is Lily from the Spring Flora Fairies from Carmen Medlin for SCACD. Since I colored her early, I was able to use lots of stickles :)  The paper is Bo Bunny Ambrosia, love these colors and I still have 1 or 2 more images to put on cards that match this paper. The sentiment is from Color Me Happy by My Creative Time. I didn't use it when I got it last year, but I've now used it on the last two cards I've made.

The layout is from this week's Techno Stamper's sketch~ love it and was so happy to play along again. It's been awhile!

Thanks for fluttering by today!

Skating by to say Hi for FBW #176

It's time to flutter!

This week's Flutter By Wednesdays Challenge is open, just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. You can enter {HERE} and also we have a guest designer this week! Her name is Amanda and you can see her creation on the FBW blog and say hello to her at her blog {HERE}. You can see the rest of the FBW team's samples by visiting the links on my sidebar.

I am so in love with my card this week!  I've made lots of cards with no coloring lately and it was like getting back on a bicycle with my copics LOL!

This cutie pie is Roll With It from the MFT Pure Innocence line. She was so happy to finally see ink and I even gave her a sidewalk! I used the current Sketches by Carly which I've posted below. One of the baskets I filled with paper is one collection from each company that I have paper from...in hopes that I can try to use some of it up! This paper is from the American Crafts City Park line. I thought it was perfect for this image!

Since I want to use paper up, I decorated the inside of the card too :)

Here is Carly's sketch. As you can see, I flipped it. I love all the layers!

Thanks for fluttering by! I'll be back later this morning with my Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past hop card!
