Happy Flutterby Day!

Its Wednesday which means its time for another Flutterby Wednesday creation!

This week I am showing a layout instead of a card. I went to a weekend crop and cranked out 31 pages and one of them had butterflies and flowers so I thought it would be perfect to share here today!

These adorable girls are my nieces. The little miss there is going to have a huge book before she even turns 1! The butterfly border is from a pack of Bazzill Edges, they have a bunch of fun shaped borders and of course I had to buy the pack when I saw butterflies! I stickled them all to give them a little pizzazz. The paper is from Basic Grey (I think its the Oh Baby Girl collection..) and the flowers are from Prima. I did use a sketch but I don't remember where it was from.

This week's featured Team Member is Cathy, be sure to check out her blog HERE. We also have a guest designer, Maria Bell, and you can see her creation on Danni's blog and her blog. Be sure to check out the rest of my team members too, their links are on the left sidebar.

If you decide to play along, link your project back to Danni's blog and if you upload to PCP or SCS, please use the keyword FBW so we can find your creations.

TFL and have a great flutterby day!

TECC57 - Hey Cupcake! & Daisybella

I love Fridays for more than just the obvious start of the weekend. It also means its time for a new sketch over at Taylored Expressions. Taylor hosts Cupcake Challenges each and every Friday. You don't have to use cupcakes and most of the time I don't...not sure why as I have enough of them LOL!


Anywho, I decided that I would use cupcakes this week. I "built" these cupcakes with the Hey There Cupcake set by Stampendous. I just *had* to have this set when it first came out quite some time ago and then I never used it. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

And then since I loved this sketch so much, I created another card with a Stamping Bella that hasn't seen ink yet. This is Daisybella and she is one of my new favorites since I love daisies.

I'm on the Flutter By Team!

I've been waiting to spill the beans LOL!

I have been asked to join Danni's Flutter By Wednesday Team. Every Wednesday we post a card using a butterfly and sometimes there's a twist involved. This week, no twist. For my first Wednesday, I challenged myself - no sketches or challenges! Well was that ever a challenge LOL!

I am so pleased with how this card turned out.


Close up of sparkle (its so much better IRL!):

I used Memento Angel Pink to sponge the background and a clear spica pen to glitter up the butterfly image. The stamps are from the Unity Stamp February KOTM.

Please be sure to check out this week's featured stamper Michelle, the rest of the Flutter By team and to welcome Jodi to the team too. The links are on the left sidebar! And if you'd like to play along be sure to link to Danni's blog and if you upload to SCS or PCP use the keyword FBW47.

SFYTT with Tilda

Another week with another Sketch for You To Try! I just love these sketches.

This is Tilda with Flower and this is another card created for the Magnolia February rain. I had a great time putting this card together. I love this Tilda with the Basic Grey Scarlet's Letter designer paper. I attempted to create a little scene by sponging Memento Bamboo Leaves ink around her feet so she looks like she's standing in the grass. I think she's pretty darn cute!

The Recipe:
Stamps: Tilda with Flower ~ Magnolia
Paper: GP, Basic Grey Scarlet's Letter
Ink: Tuxedo Black ~ Memento, copics (see below)
Accessories: prima flower, brad ~ Joanns, Angel Wings Shimmerz

Mojo Monday #75

I made a lot of cards this weekend and I have to say this card is one of my favorites!

I created it for a few swaps. One was D is for...and instead of the typical dog or daisy that I would usually do, I used the deer from the Unity February KOTM. I just love this kit! Lots of variety to create with. I used a sponge dauber to give the deer some grass to stand on. The sketch is Mojo Monday #75, lots of layers! It was great fun putting together.

The Recipe:
Stamps: Unity Stamp Company ~ Feb KOTM & grab bag
Paper: GP, DCWV, PaperTrey Ink ~ Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Ripe Avocado
Ink: Rich Cocoa, Bamboo Leaves ~ Memento
Accessories: flowers & buttons ~ MM Paperie Mocha, sponge dauber, threading water punch ~ Fiskars

Thanks for looking!
