It's an InSyle Saturday!

Happy Saturday everyone!! Are you ready for Easter, 'cause the Easter Bunny comes tonight!! Maybe he'll leave some stamping goodies for us?? Ok, a girl can dream can't she?? I really hope he brings us a cure for the stomach virus that my daughter has. I'm running on no sleep for a couple of days now. It's not pretty!!!

What is pretty though is that I have a cute card that I made using InStyle Stamps Anime image Lizzie. Isn't she the cutest? I left the sentiment off the front of the card but you could use her for birthdays, get well, congrats, thinking of you, thanks, you get the picture! She's perfect for any occasion.

I used some super yummy paper from Daisy Bucket, with Bazzill cardstock. I cut Lizzie out with my new Spellbinders Nestie that I got at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. She has an amazing selection of all the new stuff, so go take a look!! I colored Lizzie with my copics and used my Inkssentials white gel pen, also from Susana's, for some subtle highlights. I used ribbon and Hero Arts flowers that I dyed to match my image and some sparkle brads.

A simple card design that lets my image take center stage. I love that!! For the inside, I simply cut some of my DP and used it at the top and bottom of the insert. I hope you enjoy my card. I'm glad you stopped by to visit and be sure and come back again tomorrow if you can.

I'll have MY VERY FIRST sneak peek of a new release stamp from InStyle Stamps!!! You won't want to miss it!! Happy Easter and have a wonderful evening!

A Faerie For You!!

Happy Monday to you!!

I hope you are all doing well. I am suffering from the sinus junk that is kicking some serious tail all over the place. My hubby is getting over his and Brittany is trying. I just seem to keep suffering. Uuuuugggggghhhhhh!!!!

Anyway, I wanted to share a card with you today using the beautiful Sassafras from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. Susana has a fabulous store and if you haven't been over there you should put your slippers on and click on over!! Not only does she have a fabulous selection of products, she has a beautiful and unique selection of high quality rubber stamps. Her customer service is wonderful too!! Fast shipping!! That is very important to me because I can't wait to smell fresh rubber in my mailbox!!! Can you??

Here's my card (please excuse the finger in my picture):

Doesn't she make you smile?? I love this image! I used some beautiful Daisy Bucket paper (Love it) and colored Sassafras in with my Copics. I used my Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers folder to emboss my green cardstock and Martha Stewart photo corners and pearls on the corners. I used a sketch from Magnolia-licious. I used my nesties to cut out my image and the scalloped layer.

I chalked around her with blue chalk for emphasis. I used Shimmerz on her wings, socks and flowers in her hair although my camera refuses to show you.

I used my Martha Stewart Heart punch for the inside of my card and another strip of that fabby paper. I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for coming by my blog. It means a lot to me that you took time to visit, so be sure to leave a comment so I know you were here.

Come back tomorrow. I'll have something wonderful for you to see!

Flutterby Wednesday is here again!!

Hi everyone!!

It's Flutterby Wednesday again and me and my flutterby sisters have some wonderful creations to share with you. Of course, we have to take care of business first! Our first order of business is to welcome our new flutterby stampers into our little family. Help me welcome the very talented Kristie and Jodi. Welcome ladies, your talent is amazing and we are so happy to have you on our team!! Be sure to stop by all of the Flutterby Wednesday blogs and leave some love. Our featured stamper this week is Michelle. Leave us some comments, we love to read them. Links are on my sidebar.

You know you can play along with us every week. All you have to do is make a card containing a butterfly and let us know you did! That's it! It's that simple. If you upload to a public gallery such as SCS or PCP, please use the tag FBW47 so we can find your beautiful creations even easier!





















Today I used a beautiful Elisabeth Bell Sugar Nellie stamp called Raflective. These stamps are so beautiful. I got my butterfly from another Sugar Nellie stamp. I colored her with my Copics and today I combined Flutterby Wednesday and Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch challenge MTT12 for my card. Two challenges with one card!! Gotta love that!! I hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it.

I like the Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch because it gives a simpler layout that let's your image take center stage.

I used beautiful Daisy Bucket patterned paper and some Lil' Davis flowers that I've had in my stash for a while. I stamped the sentiment onto green cardstock and popped it up with pop dots for dimension.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I really appreciate you!! Please be sure to leave a comment so I know you were here!! Have a great day!
