FBW #157 with Paper Pretties!

It's time for Flutter By Wednesdays!  One of my favorite days of the week :D

It's the first Wednesday of the month - can you believe it is JUNE already?!

We have an open challenge for you today - just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation!

This week we are sponsored by Paper Pretties and they were so nice to give the DT images to play with! Check out the FBW blog HERE to enter your creation and to see what you can win!

I just had to play with the Flutterby digi - she is so cute!  

I dug into some newer stash for my card. The paper and embellishments are all from the My Mind's Eye Gertie collection. The Flutterby image was cut using my new Labels Seventeen. I did add a little Smooch to the bracelets, necklace and butterfly but it's a bit hard to see in the photo. I also added a sentiment from one of my favorite sentiment sets - Little Moments from Paper Makeup Stamps. 

I hope you will join us this week - there is always so much inspiration to be found on the FBW blog!  

Flutter By Wednesday #147

Halfway to the weekend, yay! Although it's going to be coooooooold here, not spring like at all!!!

Today's FBW challenge is an open one - just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel! Link your creation up HERE and check out all the DT inspiration - links on my sidebar.

I always find these open weeks difficult - so many stamps, so little time! I finally settled on using my Simply Special stamp from Paper Pretties. I won it in Danni's FBW Birthday Blowout candy back in September and it hadn't seen ink yet.

I love how this turned out!  The layout is from this week's Paper Craft Planet sketch.  I did change it from a square to standard size card since the paper I used was 4.5x6.5 versus 6x6.

Have a great day!

Sketch Saturday #39

This card uses a very cute Paper Pretties stamp called Rainy Day. I received it in a mystery image challenge on one of my groups. Its so fun to see how different we all use the same image! I used Sketch Saturday #39 to create my card.

Oh what fun it was to cut the sentiment apart and use it that way...ha! I kept losing different parts of it as I was mounting them and almost had to use the extra one.


And the copics I used (R20 is at the end):


The Recipe:
Stamps: Paper Pretties
Paper: Perhaps (Basic Grey), Georgia Pacific
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories: flowers (prima, Joanns), brads (Joanns)

Thanks for looking! I'll be back later with more to share!

Be Mine

Today I am making valentines...

First up is a Paper Pretties image raked to me by Ann. Isn't she adorable? There will be more cards with her coming up later. I just couldn't wait to share this one.

The sketch is February Card #2 from Just My Sketches. You can see it HERE. I used a ton of copics to color this image in...I think the next one will be a little simpler LOL. It took 2 pics to get them all in to show you what I used!

I got the pink markers last week and had to try them all out on this card and of course the valentines had to have some sparkle so I used my red and clear copic spica pens.

I attempted to shade her hair a bit...I need a lot of practice! The rest of the colors were used to color her, the table, chair, etc.

Time for lunch and then more card making. I hope you're all having a happy, crafty day!
