PTT #14 with a few other challenges :)

It's time to party with Party Time Tuesdays!

This is the last challenge until October, we'd love to have you play along! The challenge is to use brads on your birthday card (along with the required birthday greeting/sentiment).

This is very CAS for me, it was tough to leave the 'white' space empty LOL! The images are Danni's Flutterbies from Paper Makeup Stamps, I had such fun coloring them. I added some Smooch Illuminate but didn't get the camera to catch the sparkle all that well. The flower brads are from Making Memories.

I also incorporated the following challenges:
Flutterby Wednesday #119 - open week (just use a butterfly, fairy or angel)
Makeup for the Weekend #40 - birthday card
Get Sketchy #53

If you'd like to play along with PTT, please link your card to the PTT blog by Sunday night to have a chance at the Top 3! You'll find oodles of inspiration on the blog as well!

Get Sketchy with CSAYL!

Despite my feeling poorly the last few weeks, I’ve not given up on the Scrappin-n-Chattin EDCC yet, yay me!  I found oodles of Sandylion 3D stickers that I bought a few years ago and challenged myself to use them up, so I’ve been able to make quick cards with them every day.  I made this the other day and finally had a few minutes to sit down and post it since I am feeling much better today.  I started a vitamin supplement the other day and it seems to be helping!

I created this card using this week’s Get Sketchy #51 and the challenge at Christmas Stampin All Year Long to use 2 or more designer papers.

I just {heart} snowglobes! They are so fun to shake up and watch the snow fall :)  I thought they’d be perfect for the sketch.

It’s time for me to go make today’s card!  TFL!

Flutter By Wednesday #96

Good morning! It's a snowy Wednesday here in my part of New England.

It's Flutter By Wednesday #96 and our challenge this week is to use the theme of Love, however you perceive it, just be sure to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creations. We are sooooo very happy to see so many participants entering our challenge. Keep up the great work!!

I found the coolest stamp to use on my card this week :) It's from the Unity set Be "Owl" Mine.


Here is a side view of the card, I stamped cut two butterflies out and layered them for some dimension.


I just love how this card turned out...bright, happy and full of butterfly love!

I used a sketch from Get Sketchy -
