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!

Happy Birthday Lilly

Happy Monday!

This is the last of the cards I'm sharing from my weekend crafting session.  Instead of copics, I colored this image with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. This is the 2nd time I have tried it and I like the results better this time. I am going to keep practicing as I have tons of images stamped & printed on Georgia Pacific paper and I cannot use them to practice my copic coloring.  I certainly don't want all my cute images going to waste!

The image on this card is Lilly from Softpencil Digital Images. Isn't she sweet? :)

I used TECC64 for the layout and the image was cut out with Nestabilities Labels Eleven. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Birthday Messages. I used My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Mabel designer paper, it's so very pretty!

Time for a new Flutter By Wednesday challenge!  It's #151 and an open theme - just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel! Click HERE to enter your creation and to see wonderful samples, check out the DT listed on my left sidebar. 

Here is a lame story for you all LOL - I really wanted to ink up one of my new Magnolia stamps but I haven't touched my copics since class on Saturday and was feeling slightly intimidated by them. Silly I know! So I decided to finally try gamsol with my prismacolor pencils, I don't think I did too bad for my first try!

I used a sketch I saved a few weeks ago from The Pink Elephant, it was perfect for my image!

Paper Cutz is back!

TGIF!

Paper Cutz is back from holiday break to challenge you all again! Today's challenge is to create a card, layout or project using METAL and any color/theme!

My mojo is on vacation somewhere (hopefully warm!!) so I had a hard time coming up with something...I decided to go 'back' so to speak. I have a small stack of cards that I started a few summers ago and never finished. This card is one of them...the base/image were already done. I added the sentiment, embellishments and also colored the image in, and guess what? NO Copics!! This image was stamped back when I was using Versafine so I decided to stay in the theme of 'old' and I pulled out my prismacolor pencils to color Cosmobella in.

And here is the card~

If you'd like to join in the challenge, please link your creation HERE.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Cosmobella (Stamping Bella), Little Moments (Paper Makeup Stamps)
