Another Flutterby Wednesday!!
This week we are welcoming the super talented Taylor to our little Flutterby DT family!! She is so wonderful. If you haven't been to her blog take a few minutes to browse through her beautiful creations. Welcome to the team Taylor! Also this week, we bid farewell to Kimmie and we wish her all the best!!
This week Michelle hosted our challenge and challenged us to use buttons and bows/ribbon. Well, I did both!! I made Brittany a Tinkerbell card and used buttons as my polka dots and pretty purple ribbon to tie my bow! She will love it!! I used Disney dimensional stickers, ribbon, and ribbon slide. Very simple, but perfect for a sweet 9 year old!! This is the slightly blurred photo that shows her pretty wings! Sparkly!
This was a really great challenge. We'd love to see you play along this week! The challenge is to use buttons and bows/ribbon. 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. Be sure to visit Danni's blog to see any other details. Be sure to check my sidebar and visit the other Flutterby divas to see their wonderful creations.

It's Flutterby Wednesday Again!!!
For my card this week, I have used this wonderful image from Nutcrafters. She is from the summer collection and her name is Paddling Mac. If you haven't been to the Nutcrafters store yet, you should really go have a look around. There are lots of goodies to choose from. There are several Nutshells stamps that you should look at. Soooo cute!!! Isn't she the most adorable little thing!! I used the Mojo Monday sketch 93 from this week. Yay, I got 2 challenges done so far this week!!!
I colored her with my copics and used a white gel pen for highlights. I used a glaze pen on her barrette and the Penny Black butterfly on her hand to give that shiny dimension that I love. I cut my Cosmo Cricket papers with my nesties. I popped the sentiment and my main image up on pop dots. I attached flowers to the corner with Hero Arts gems in the right corner and in the flower center. I used a Martha Stewart gift tag for my Hero Arts sentiment. I colored the edge with my copics to give it some texture. I attached Dew Drops butterflies on the the tag. They are so sweet!! I think she turned out pretty cute!! I hope you like it.

It's an Outdoorsy Flutterby Wednesday!!
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!
Do you ever have those times when you just couldn't make a card if your life depended on it?? Well I had that problem yesterday and the day before and the day before. You can scroll down to the post under this one for more details into my lovely last several days. So instead of a card today, I'm sharing a couple of photo's that I took while hubby, Brittany and I were out fishing last year during the spring. This little butterfly landed on the boat and rode there for a long time. When she got tired of riding on the boat, she rode on my husband's hat all the way to the boat dock (which was a while)!! We couldn't believe how long it rode on his hat!!
Kimmie set up our challenge this week. For this week's challenge, we were to make an outdoorsy card. We'd love to see you play along this week! Remember, your card 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. Be sure to check my sidebar and visit the other Flutterby divas to see their wonderful creations (maybe they had more mojo than I did).
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I love reading your comments, they mean so much to me and so do you!! Those of you who follow my blog, hold a very special place in my heart and I thank you so much! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what I have to show you!! Have a wonderful day!

It's a Stormy 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.
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 Love our Flutterby Wednesdays!!
Our challenge this week was to use a sketch, any sketch along with a fairy or butterfly on our project. Please be sure to identify the sketch that you use and give proper credit where it is due. Our featured stamper this week is Lelia. Be sure to stop by and give her some luv!! I believe the sketch I used for my card came from Magnolia-licious but I'm not sure. I previously used this card for Flutterby Wednesday but I re-posted it because I am using it for the Roses on Paper color challenge #13. The challenge is to use Pink, Yellow and Green on our cards. I picked it because it is one of my favorites and Summer is also having a GDT call for the new Belles n' Whistles stamps that she will be carrying soon. The Belles n' Whistles stamp line promises to be super cute and the Belles n' Whistles store will be opening in July. You know we love us some new stamps to play with!!! LOL

For my card this week, I used Doodlebug patterned paper and Bazzill and Bo Bunny cardstock. I also used this adorable new Magnolia stamp from the Chasing Butterflies collection that I got from Summer at Roses on Paper. Thanks Summer!! I think this image is just the sweetest!
I colored my image with my copics, painted on some Shimmerz and used a white Inkessentials gel pen for detail. I also cut my yellow and pink dotted (Bo Bunny) cardstock with my nesties. I cut out my image and popped it up with pop dots. I also used pop dots on my yellow cardstock. I embossed the yellow piece with my Cuttlebug embossing folder and inked the edges with pink ink.
My sentiment is a Sugar Nellie stamp. I inked the edges of my sentiment, put a tiny little Prima flower in the center along with a tiny jewel. I put some yellow flowers on my card that I had in my stash. I inked the edges with pink ink and put a little bit of Stickles on the "pearl" in the center. I cut a small flourish with my Sizzix Sizzlet die and put it around the flowers. I used Stickles to add some bling to them and make them pop. IRL they are super glittery!
This was a really great challenge. We'd love to see you play along this week! The challenge this week is to use a sketch, any sketch along with a fairy or butterfly on your project. Please be sure to identify the sketch that you use and give proper credit where it is due.

It's a Flutterby Shape Today!
I hope today finds you well and that your week is going smoothly. 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 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 Chris. She is super talented so be sure that you stop by her blog and leave her some luv!! Our Guest Designer is the uber talented, super sweet Cindy Haffner!!! 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! A true talent, that's for sure! Welcome to our little Flutterby family Cindy!!
Now onto my card. I made this card using a template that I found on one of the magazine websites but I was so smart, I cut it out and didn't put the magazine name on the template, so I'm not sure which one it came from. I'm pretty sure it was Papercrafts. I will see if I can find it again and I will post it as an edit later on. Sorry! I just thought it was cute!
I used the DCWV Spring Stack for my card. I used my nesties to cut a little label for my sentiment. I chalked the label so that it would not show so brightly. I added stickles on the butterfly front of the card and dew drops as well. I drew little antennae's on the inside of my card for her head. I think it turned out really cute. I used an Inkadinkado stamp for my sentiment. I used my Scor-Pal to score the fold. I hope you like it.
This was a really great challenge. 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.

Are You All A-flutter??

It's Flutterby Wednesday Again!!
For my card this week, I used Doodlebug patterned paper and Bazzill cardstock. I also used this adorable new Magnolia stamp from the Chasing Butterflies collection that I got from Summer at Roses on Paper. Thanks Summer!! I think this image is just the sweetest!!
I colored my image with my copics, painted on some Shimmerz and used a white Inkessentials gel pen that I got from my good friend, Susana over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs. I also cut my yellow and pink dotted (Bo Bunny) cardstock with my nesties that I also got from Susana. If you haven't been to her store, you have to go. She has the most amazing selection of all things paper crafting including copics and nesties. She also carries some of the cutest stamps out there!! I cut out my image and popped it up with pop dots. I also used pop dots on my yellow cardstock. I embossed the yellow piece with my Cuttlebug embossing folder and inked the edges with pink ink.
My sentiment is a Sugar Nellie stamp. I inked the edges of my sentiment, put a tiny little Prima flower in the center along with a tiny jewel. I put some yellow flowers on my card that I had in my stash. I inked the edges with pink ink and put a little bit of Stickles on the "pearl" in the center.

Are you Fluttering Today??
Our featured team member this week is Nicola. Please stop by and welcome Lelia http://greengoddescreations.blogspot.com/ and Christine http://changeofheart56.blogspot.com/to our team!
For my card this week I decided not to use patterned paper!! I know, I can hardly believe it myself!! I used purple Bazzill Bling cardstock and punched butterflies out of glitter cardstock in lots of different colors. I used my Martha Stewart punch for that. Then I used a Whipper Snapper Designs, Inc. rubber stamp to stamp my quote/sentiment. I popped it up on pop dots and glued only the center of the butterflies and bent their wings up to look like they are sitting on my card. I like how this turned out (even without patterned paper)!!
We say good bye to Kristie this week. She is going to take a break so that she can take care of some personal business. But she will be back later on. We'd love to see you play along this week! If you post to SCS or PCP be sure to use the keyword FBW so that we can find your beautiful creations. Be sure to visit Danni's blog to see all the details.

Happy Flutterby Wednesday!!
It's Flutterby Wednesday again and our challenge this week was to use red, white and blue along with a fairy or butterfly. It was really hard for me to picture fairies or butterflies with red, white and blue, but I managed to pull it off!! Our featured stamper this week is Nancy. You should play along with us and be sure that if you upload to PCP or SCS that you use FBW in your keywords so we can see your beautiful creations.
You can go to Danni's blog for more in-depth details. For my card today I used the Mojo Monday Sketch 84. I used Enchanted Lily from Pink Cat Studios. I love this image!! She's so cute and cheerful!! I used Paper Loft paper and Bazzill cardstock. I cut my sentiment out with my nesties. I inked the edge with red ink for definition and tied ribbon through the top. I popped it up with pop dots for dimension.
I stamped Lily with Memento ink and colored her with my copics. I used a white gel pen to add highlights. I painted her wings with Shimmerz. You can find Memento ink, copics, Shimmerz and white gel pen at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. She has a fabulous selection of stamping accessories and her rubber stamps are adorable. You should visit her and see what you can find. There's something for everyone.
Sorry about the short post but my pain meds are wearing off and I need to go sit comforably. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate you. Be sure to leave me a comment so I know you were here!! Hugs to you all and have a great day!

Tilda Visits Flutterby Wednesday
It's Flutterby Wednesday and our challenge for this week was to create a card with flowers and butterflies on it. This week I'm so excited that I am the Featured Stamper for this week!! Yay (thanks Danni)! Also this week, we have a wonderful Guest Designer. Drum roll please, our guest designer this week is the lovely and super talented Maria Bell!!! Yay, Maria is so talented and if you haven't been to her blog then you should get some munchies and get comfy!! It's such a warm, cozy place of inspiration.
For this week's card I had to pull out the Basic Grey Porcelain pad (LOVE it) and ink up my brand new Tilda with Bunny (LOVE it) that I just got from Summer at Roses on Paper (thanks Summer). I think this Tilda is just adorable with her little bunny!!
Ok, about my card. I stamped Tilda on white cardstock with Black Memento ink. I colored her with copics and highlighted with a white gel pen. I used Basic Grey Porcelain paper and Bazzill cardstock. This week I thought it would be fun to use some little silver, metal butterflies on my card. I used Prima hydrangeas with brads and spacers. I also used some green lace across my card front. That's really all there is to it. Pretty simple but I like how it turned out!!
I edited my post because I realized that I forgot to put the leaves on my flowers!! I thought I would show both photos since I've already sent Danni my picture for her blog. Sorry about that, I can't seem to remember anything lately!! I used a Martha Stewart punch for my leaves.
You can play along with us simply by making a card with butterflies and flowers on it. Remember, if you upload to PCP or SCS use the keyword: FBW so we can admire your work. Be sure that you visit the other Flutterby Wednesday designer's blogs and check out their beautiful creations. You can find the links on my sidebar.
