Winter Pup

3rd post of the day - scroll down to see what you missed!

One last card before bed...Scrappin-N-Chattin (a great yahoo group) is hosting a Christmas EDCC (everday card challenge) this month. This is card #7, I've not had the time to post the others and I was also thinking I might save them for my 25 Days of Christmas in December, so you'll have some inspiration while working on your own Christmas cards.

I decided to play along with the Stampin' B's challenge this week - use a dog image.

I used this week's Unscripted Sketch~

Card Supplies~

Stamps: Winter Pup ~ Hero Arts; Amuse Holiday Greetings

Paper: Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses

Ink: Memento

Fairy Sweet

I’m back with my 2nd post for today, so scroll down to check out my Lasting Memories layout!

I was awake much earlier than I needed to be so I scrolled through the Sunday challenges and saw this fun inspiration picture for CIC70 at Cupcake Inspirations….anyone have a cupcake handy? I’m hungry after looking at it LOL!

Here is my take~

I do believe I’m getting the hang of these inspiration challenges. As soon as I saw Tinkerbell, I thought of this adorable fairy Jolinne from MFT. Isn’t she sweet?  The designer paper (in my fave colors!) is from the Basic Grey Olivia collection.  I cut out the flowers with my Blossoms Two nestabilities and crinkled them before stamping a sentiment from the set.  Jolinne is colored with copics (E00, R20, E25, E29, YG25, RV11, RV14) and her wings were painted with Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations paint.

Have a great day!

Lasting Memories Challenge #3

Happy August! Wow, it doesn't seem possible that this much of the year has gone by already!!

Today I have a layout to show you for Lasting Memories's 3rd challenge ~

• Add a stamped image to your layout (this can be one image or making your own background, whatever you like)

I just love my page for this challenge! The pictures are from Magic Wings - a butterfly pavillion I visited with my mother almost 3 years ago...no title/dates since I've already done a bunch of pages for this album (and still have more to go lol!) I have a chart showing the different butterflies that are at the pavillion but I couldn't find one of them to write on the layout.

For my stamping, I used a quote from the Stampin' Up set Happiness of Butterflies. You should be able to read it if you click on the picture. I also used Tilda with Butterfly from Magnolia and perched her on a flower.

I am also entering this layout into the Flutter By Wednesday #115 since it's an open week!

Supplies~

Stamps: quote from Happiness of Butterfly ~ Stampin Up!, Tilda with Butterfly ~ Magnolia Stamps

Paper: Bohemia by My Mind's Eye

Ink: Memento

Copics: E00, R20, YG03, YG23, B14, B24, B26, E29, E25

Other: Martha Stewart butterfly punches, ranger white ink pen, Sundance smooch
