Simply Betty Stamps December FB Challenge!

I wanted to share with you a card I made using the fabulous freebie image for the Simply Betty Stamps FB Group Challenge for December! Each month Betty at Simply Betty Stamps allows members of the FB Group to enter a contest using a freebie image. How could you go wrong with playing along!

This month we had a choice between three fabulous images to work with and I decided to use Betty Boom! The challenge for my selected image was to glitter and the color combination of Black, White, and Red! I also used some touches of pink on Betty's outfit and the present in the photo, I figured that pink was a byproduct of white and red. I used these lovely mulberry paper roses and this great swirl ribbon to add accents to this wonderful card. Then to finish it off and be sure I completed the challenge I added Smooch Glitz in Starlight to her dress, eye shadow, ribbon and the flower in her hair plus I added some to all of the mulberry paper roses.

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with this challenge. I hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday Corinne and Irene!

Happy Thanksgiving & Simply Betty Stamps November FB Challenge!

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the States and I couldn't think of a better way to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to share with you a card I made using the fabulous freebie image for the Simply Betty Stamps FB Group Challenge for November! Each month Betty at Simply Betty Stamps allows members of the FB Group to enter a contest using a freebie image. How could you go wrong with playing along!

This month we had a choice between two fabulous images to work with and I decided to use Little Indian Betty! The challenge for my selected image was to use feathers on my card in some way. I searched for some paper in my stash that had feather and found none so I settled on this designer paper with leaves in the background and I dug out my old beads and bead loom where I keep my stash of feathers. I picked two feathers that I thought complimented the rest of my card. I also tried to create a darker skin tone, which didn't come out as I had planned, but overall I think the other elements of the card distract you from the odd skin creation.

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with this challenge. I hope you have a great day!

I have two fabulous cards to share with you today! First I am sharing the card at the beginning of this post, this darling bear couple is called Couples. I just love how these darling bears are snuggling and spending some relaxing time together, it makes me smile every time I look at it. I wanted to create a simple and relaxing card like the image portrays.

For my second card  I wanted to go for another simple but pretty card, and I decided to make this one out of a softer color palette then the last card I created. This darling image is called A Gentle Touch. I think this image just may be cuter than the first! I know when I saw the Couple image I thought nothing could be cuter, but I have been proven wrong! I used some fabulous blue and brown papers I have and I love how they seem to make the main image pop off the paper!

Today I have a chance to share with you a creation I made using one of the newer released images from Simply Betty Stamps!

Flutter By Wednesday's - Open!

Today is Wednesday which means that's it time for another Flutter By Wednesday's post! Each Wednesday we have an awesome challenge going on at Flutter By Wednesday's! We hope that you will join us this week for a great challenge featuring something that flutters! Today's challenge is 'Open'!

For my creation today I decided to use this fabulous image from Crafty Sentiments Designs, she's a darling fairy called Petal Fairy! I simply love this image, in fact when she was released at Crafty Sentiments Designs I was bummed that I didn't get the chance to play with her, but being on this fabulous Flutter By Wednesday's DT has allowed me some extra time to play with some of my wonderful Fairy images! I used this great paper from Echo Park called Sweet Girl, in fact I think that the line just screams to use this image with it too!

I do hope you like my project for today. Be sure to come back each and every Wednesday for more fun Flutter By Wednesday's Challenges! Please join us, if we hit 50 entries in a challenge there will be a prize drawing!

Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge - Blues!

Today kicks off a brand new challenge at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge! This week Diane is hosting the Team "A" and sharing with you my creation for the challenge, "Blues"!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! It was so hard to decide which image to use for this challenge but I finally picked Me & My Teddy! I had so much fun working with this much blue! I have the hardest time being able to find wonderful blue designer paper so whenever I see it I grab what I can find and that's exactly what I did for this card. I grabbed everything blue I had! Like this ribbon that I have been hoarding for the perfect blue project!

I do hope you enjoyed my creation for today, be sure to head on over to the Crafty Sentiments Designs Blog and check out the rest of the fabulous DT samples and of course to enter in on the fun! Have a fabulous day and thank you for stopping by!
