How Cute is Hazel??

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

Look what I have to share with you today! She is adorable!! What a great image for any occasion. This is a sweet little Nutshells called Hazel with Apples. I just love her!! You can pick her up at Nutcrafters. Think of all the little school projects that she would be perfect for!!

I colored her with my Copics and paper pieced her dress and hairbow. I love paper piecing, it gives such a cute dimensional look. I used my DCWV School stack for the sweet papers. I used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and a grass stamp by Our Craft Lounge. I also used the Pollycraft Sketch Challenge #20, what a great sketch to work with! Along with the sketch, you had to incorporate food or drink into your creation. My food are the apples that are everywhere on my card!! I'll be using this sketch again. I love how she turned out!! What do you think??

I also love visiting your blogs and leaving comments for you as well. Be sure to check back tomorrow to see what I have for you. Have a wonderful rest of your day!!

It's a Stormy Flutterby Wednesday!!!!!

Happy Flutterby Wednesday!!

I hope today finds you well and in a storm-free zone!!! I'm telling you we have been seriously in the tornado alley since this past Friday. There was a tornado just a few miles from my hubby's work on Friday afternoon. On Friday evening, we were under tornado warning several times that night. Saturday morning we got up to more tornadic storms and on Monday we had more all within a close distance from our house. ACK!! I'm terrified of storms and tornados are just so scary to me.

Ok enough therapy, our challenge this week at Flutterby Wednesday is actually a free week!! Yay!! The only things that you have to do to make your card is a Flutterby Wednesday challenge card is to use a butterfly or a fairy image on your creation. Just remember, it has to have a butterfly or fairy to qualify. This is really a great week to participate!!

Our Featured Stamper this week is Christine. She is super talented so be sure that you stop by her blog and leave her some luv!! Our Guest Designer is the super talented Mary Giemza !!! YAY!! Once you visit her blog, you'll know what I'm talking about. Her creations are so wonderful and her blog is so full of inspiration! Welcome to our little Flutterby family Mary!!

For my card this week I used some pretty K & Co. paper (love it!) and this adorable Magnolia sweetie. I stamped butterflies around her cute little head and stamped her (masked) with a Magnolia bench. I used a cute EK Success edge punch and scalloped scissors to create my two borders. I used my nesties to cut out Tilda. I used a big flower and brad by Bazzill alson with Bazzill cardstock to finish out my card. I used chalks to create the sky and grass in my little scene. I stamped the cute little black grass using an Our Craft Lounge stamp.

We'd love to see you play along this week! Just make your project using a butterfly or fairy. Remember, it must include a butterfly or fairy. If you post to SCS or PCP be sure to use the keyword FBW so that we can find your beautiful creations.

Lily and Billy Visit Flutterby Wednesday!

Happy Flutterby Wednesday Everyone!!

Today is Flutterby Wednesday and my card is serving double duty. I used my Pink Cat Studio Love Challenge card as my challenge card and my Flutterby Wednesday card. Pretty good, huh. I will post pictures of my card, but will try to take some better ones that show off the pretty glitter on my flowers and tiny butterflies. I tried to take the pictures last night, but the light was not right so I'll have to edit my post to show the new photos. Lily and Billy are so cute hanging out in the meadow together!

I used the Lily and Billy Sweetheart set and added a few other elements to make it so cute!! I love these images. They are so sweet and cute!! I used a Whiff of Joy stamp to get my grass and flowers. I used a CC Designs from All that Scraps for my cute little birdies and a set from Our Craft Lounge to stamp my little butterflies. I colored my image with copics and used chalk to blend a pretty blue sky! I also used Glossy Accents on the rose and the hearts on Lily's dress. I also used it on her pigtail holders and her earring. You can see the dimension that the Glossy Accents gives and the wet shine that makes it so pretty. I used my Spica glitter pens to put some sparkle on the flowers. Hopefully the picture is picking that up. If not, I will try to upload some different photos later to show the glitter. I popped the birds and Lily and Billy up on pop dots to make them stand out. I also popped up the entire panel that the scene is on.

You can play along with us by creating a Flutterby card of your own. Be sure to tag it with FBW44 if you upload to SCS or PCP. Be sure that you stop by Danni's blog for more exciting news about Flutterby Wednesday. Be sure to check out the other Flutterby Wednesday team for some amazing creations.

Please come back and see what I'm up to tomorrow! I love to read your comments, so please leave them for me.

Princess Anya Meets Flutterby Wednesday!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! Today is Flutterby Wednesday and I had so much fun making this card! The challenge this week was to use pink on our cards. Wow, what a stretch for me, LOL! I think I use pink on everything!! I decided to make the whole card pink and of course Princess Anya's dress is gorgeous in bright pink! Princess Anya is a fun stamp from The Greeting Farm. LOVE HER!!!

I started my card with a piece of white card stock. I used Our Craft Lounge stamps to stamp that adorable tree, grass and flowers. I colored in the hearts on the tree and flowers with my copics. I pulled out my chalks and made the blue sky and greenish color on the grass and in the tree. I colored Princess Anya with my copics also. I drew in a sign post and put the sentiment on top to make a Valentine sign. I printed the clouds from CC Designs at All That Scraps and colored them with Shimmerz. I love my Shimmerz!! I also used it on the hearts on the tree, the heart on the tree trunk and Anya's crown and wand. (My camera would not cooperate!)

Once my background was sponged on with the chalks, I assembled all the pieces into a pretty little enchanted Valentine forest for Anya!! I used my oval nesties to cut the "sign" and chalked over it with pink chalk. I stamped some little flutterby's over those cute flowers! Fianlly, I used my Martha Stewart punch and punched out a butterfly from glittered cardstock. I folded her wings up and glued only her body to the card.. I popped Anya off the card for a little taste of dimension.

To finish off my card, I put a piece of white card stock on the inside and stamped those adorable flowers and butterflies in the bottom corners and colored them with my copics.

We want to see you play along with us! Make your flutterby card and if you upload to a galley such as PCP or SCS be sure to use keyword FBW43 so we can find your wonderful creation!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! I hope you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will come back tomorrow to see what I am up too!
