Christmas Stampin' All Day Long

Happy Monday and Labor Day My Friends!!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and if you're still celebrating, I hope you're having a wonderful holiday as well. Today is Christmas Stampin' All Year Long day and wonderfully talented Debbie is our hostess with the mostest this week! The challenge for this week is to use paper piecing on our creations. This is a great technique and if you haven't tried it, you should give it a shot. If you need some inspiration for a sketch layout, Maria has drawn one up for you here.

For my card today, I used a CC Designs image from All that Scraps. I used K&Co. paper, Bo Bunny cardstock and Bazzill cardstock. I cut my image with nesties and used page pebbles and a glittery snowflake for embellies. I paper pieced her hat, coat and boots. I colored everything else with my copics. I used glitter pen on the hearts, her fluffballs on her scarf tie, the cuffs of her boots and sleeves and the ball on top of her hat. I hope you like her!

Kind of a short post today but tomorrow is my birthday and I have lots to get done. Be sure to visit the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog to see what the other challenge divas have created. I also have them listed on my sidebar. Better get started on those cards!! We'd love for you to play along, just leave a comment and a link to your creation on the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog or if you upload to SCS or PCP, use the keyword CSAYL. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Be sure to leave me a comment so I can return the favor! Don't forget to come by tomorrow to see what I have to show you.

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.
