Spend the weekend InStyle!!

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope your weekend is going well. If you have a 3 day weekend, even better!!

I told you I would share my daughter's award's day news with you. For those of you that don't know, my daughter is in the 3rd grade and we had awards day this week. I am proud of her whether she wins an award or not, but she actually brought home the Computer Award out of her class of 22 and she brought home an award for being on the Principal's Honor Roll for the ENTIRE year!!!! Yay, Brittany!! She also won an award on Field Day. She took home 3rd place in the egg carrying contest!! lol (the old egg on a spoon, remember) Out of 300 something students, that's pretty good!! So there you go.

Ok, onto business! I wanted to share a card I made using InStyle Stamps Anime image Mike and Jessie. Aren't they just the cutest ever? I know I say this every time but these images really are so versatile and fun to use. You could use this image for birthdays, get well, congrats, thinking of you, thanks, you get the picture! It's perfect for any occasion.



For my card I paper pieced Jessie's dress and boots with Die Cuts with a View Spring Stack paper. The rest of the image is colored with my copics. My sentiment stamp is by Stampendous. I used Bazzill cardstock and the glittery paper is from the DCWV Glitter Spring Stack. I highlighted with my white InkEssentials gel pen that I got from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. My flowers are Primas and the brads are Making Memories. The ribbon is Bo Bunny. I used this week's Stamps and Smiles sketch challenge for my card layout. Yay I got a challenge done this week!! They have the greatest sketches and the cutest stamps. You should check them out.

Don't forget, we have our InStyle Stamps blog hop this Friday. Woo hoo!! I'll have more information for you soon. I hope you enjoy my card. I'm glad you stopped by to visit and I hope you'll leave me a comment. I truly do love reading your comments, they mean so much to me! I'll be back on Monday with something else to show you, so be sure you come back to visit!! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!

Tilda Visits Flutterby Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone!!


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.

Another Flutterby Wednesday!!!

Happy Flutterby Wednesday Everyone!!

I can't believe it's Wednesday already!! Our challenge for this week was to use yellow and orange on our cards. Along with out challenge, we have a special Guest Designer for this week!! I'm so excited!! I know you have all probably seen the incredible work of this very talented lady (drumroll please)!! LOL! It's my friend, the lovely Janna Hull!!! Yay!! I'm so happy that she is our guest this week and we welcome her with open arms or wings since it is Flutterby Wednesday!!

I also wanted to tell you that you can play along with us by simply making a butterfly card using yellow and orange and let us know that you did by tagging your PCP or SCS gallery entries with FBW46. We want to see your creations so be sure to try our challenge and if you've been playing all along, we hope you're having as much fun as we are!! Please be sure to check out our entire team and leave us some love!! You can find all of our links over on my righthand sidebar. You can also find our links on Danni's blog.

Okay, now for my card! I apologize in advance for the pictures. It was pouring down rain and I just couldn't get good shots. If it clears up, I may try to retake them and edit my post. I used sketch SC213 to create my card. I started by stamping the lovely Ginger by InStyle Stamps on white cardstock. I colored her with my Copics and used blue chalks for my little sky. Isn't this image just the cutest!! I think she is so retro and adorable and perfect for lots of occasions. I used dew drops for accent and I mounted three Prima flowers in the bottom right corner and attached a beautiful butterfly on the flowers. Doesn't it look like the butterfly just landed on the flowers?? I love that!! And look at the Shimmerz!! I used it on the butterfly and the flowers to give a little sparkle, kind of like morning dew!! I think it turned out really well! I like it! What do you think??

I decorated the inside of my card with white cardstock and the floral paper in the four corners. The DP is by Fancy Pants Designs. I didn't put a sentiment on the card because I want to wait and make sure I put the right one on.

Remember, you can play along with our challenge too. Be sure to visit all of the Flutterby girls and Janna to see all of the beautiful creations that we've made. Be sure to leave us some love!! Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog. I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see what I have to show you!! Have a wonderful day!
