FBW # 191 - "Fluttering By To Say Hi!"

Good morning!! It's Wednesday and that means a brand new challenge at Flutter By Wednesdays today!! First off, thank you all so much for joining us last week. Wow, there was SO much inspiration and I loved seeing everyone's take on our "Anything With Wings" challenge!! For this week, we're back to making sure you have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation AND we're using this inspirational photo!! Is this not GORGEOUS!!!


And here's what I created. CTMH came out with this super cute stamp and as soon as I seen it, I HAD to have it and thought it was PERFECT for FBW challenges!! I love it!!! I chose to use the colors within the photo as my inspiration. I was going to add flowers, but when all was said and done, I thought it would have been to much. It's hard to see here, but I cut out the tree top and popped it up. I also sponged the background with CTMH "Heavenly Blue" and "Garden Green" for the sky/land. The tree, butterfly and sentiment are all included in the one stamp. 


Now it's your turn to get on over to FBW and be TOTALLY inspired by what you see from both DT and entries!! Hope you join us, we'd love to see what you create!! REMEMBER!! You need to have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creations. Happy Fluttering!!

Digi Darla's Challenge "Anything But Snow"


Hello and Happy (belated) Family Day!! We have a nice long wknd here, and enjoying it to the fullest. I spent the afternoon cleaning and then playing in my craft room. I'm (very) late with today's Digi Darla creations, but never the less, here I am!!! We have a great challenge this week at Digi Darla's Challenges - "Anything But Snow". I chose DD's image "Birds In Tree" to make this adorable little 3x5 card!! Then as I was looking through my stash for a little something to add to the front, I found the PERFECT sentiment for this card!!! The other card is done using a window card and the image is from Dearie Dolls as we featured Mary Ellen this week in our Digi Darla newsletter. Super cute!!

Cut For Cancer


Last weekend we had our first Winter Retreat and it was a HUGE hit!! I managed to get a lot done this time around. I have done these photo's in digital, but I wanted to get them on real paper - the traditional way. This was such a proud moment for me as a Mother and for Ashleigh in what was her very OWN decision. She came to me one day and said "Mom .. I really want to cut my hair." Of course I looked at her, those long beautiful golden, curly locks and asked "Why!?" She turned to me and said "For cancer Mom. I want to give my hair to someone who needs it more than I do and besides, it grows back." For a 10 year old to say that, on her own no less, I was both awed and so very proud of her that day. So, we made the appt with a friend of ours who was more than happy to do it. Brydee straightened her hair and off it went. Ashleigh looked beautiful with her new hair style!! Such a proud moment as a parent!!



Supplies: 
  • CTMH "Reflections" for the layout pattern idea
  • CTMH "Roxie" paper and stickease
  • CTMH Embellishments (all except "CUTE" and "UNIQUELY YOU"
