Are you feeling blue? I sure hope not, even though that is what this week’s challenge at Wicked Wednesday is all about...Feeling Blue!


This fabulous image called Elisa the Queen was provided by our sponsor this week, Michelle Perkett Studios and I can’t think of a better BLUE image than a mermaid by the ocean. Blue skies, blue water....{happy sigh}...I think I’m dreaming in blue, which is one of my favorite colors!

The rest of the DT and myself would love to have you join us in this fun ATC challenge which you can find HERE, but you only have until 7:00 pm next Tuesday evening to enter...we’d love to see what you create when you’re Feeling Blue!

Thanks for stopping and hope to see you over at Wicked Wednesday.

Flutter By Wednesday Blog Hog and HELLO!

HELLO!

Hopefully you’ve arrived here from Lynette’s blog and you’re sharing in the exciting news that Flutter By Wednesday is returning with more of the same wonderful weekly challenges and a brand spankin’ new DT…I’m thrilled to be on the new DT along with some familiar faces from the original DT. What better way to celebrate FBW’s return than with a fabulous blog hop?! Come along as we hop(e) to inspire and motive you to join some of these wonderful challenges and let me tell you, there are going to be some fun, fun challenges in the weeks ahead.


This week’s challenge is everyone's favorite – OPEN -- which means anything goes just as long as it has a butterfly or fairy on it. The minute I saw this adorable Strawberries in Milk Fairy image from ADFD I knew I had to use it for this hop and immediately thought about Prima’s Madeline Collection DP, turns out they were a perfect fit. A few embellies, a little glitter, and a friendly HELLO were added to finish this card.


It’s time to head over to Kathy's blog to see what she’s been creating. Don’t fret if you find yourself wandering during this hop, feel free to head back to the FBW Blog to find the correct hop order to make sure you didn't miss any of the wonderful projects from this new (and not-so-new) DT!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such sweet comments, today I feel like I’m walking on Cloud 9!

Wednesdays are getting busier....

The challenge at Wicked Wednesday this week is Frankie and his Bride and as much as I tried...I couldn't stop thinking about Tim Curry as the wildly mad Dr. Frank-n-furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show! OMG, I remember when that album was released and why I still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE singing all the songs from this musical. You can't imagine how happy I was when Glee had a Rocky Horror episode!

I started out by printing a picture of the doc I found on Google and added the lyrics from one of the songs. The lips were cut from my Indie Art cartridge, the garter was stamped with Crafty Secrets Sew Special set, and some black ribbon and a bow were added. I didn't even think about using black mesh for fishnet stockings until I had already adhered the garter.

For some reason I just know my teamie Kim could whip up a fashionable EDPD Frank-n-furter in no time, pearls and all! I wonder if I should throw down that challenge for her, lol.

You have until Tuesday evening to upload your ATC, I sure hope you get the chance to pull out some of your Frankie images and join us for this week's challenge.

The Handyman can...

I have to be honest and say that monochromatic challenges are NOT not my favorite challenges (even when I use my fav color) and find I struggle with them...on top of that I thought I'd make this into a guy project...double UGH!!



What guy doesn't love a g/c from a home improvement store? Us girls, well...we love our crafty items but those guys...they love their tools! I think this g/c holder qualifies for a Boys Toys theme, don't you agree, lol.

Handyman Ian from TGF was printed in azure/dark aqua and I used very little color on the image because I wanted to keep this simple. The CS was embossed with the brick and wood folders from TH. The measuring tape is a 4-sided border stamp that I bought a few years ago (yes, from the Goosebarn) that doesn't have a manufacturer's name on it. To finish this off I added a few stickers for the DIY sentiment, along with a few brads.

Challenges:
Totally Paper Crafts: #128 Monochrome
Here Come The Boys: #33 Boys Toys
TGF: FFF Can you digi it

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such sweet comments, it's nice to hear from my blogging friends.

Wicked Wednesday Frankie and his Bride

My daughter Francesca giggled when I showed her this because her nickname is Frankie, so it's really true...I {heart} Frankie!

What a fun image from Pixie Dust that the DT was given to work with this week. Actually, there were a couple of different images to choose from but I chose Frankie's bride...isn't she adorable in pink?! We'd love to see your take on this week's Frankie and his Bride challenge. You have until late Tuesday evening to upload your ATC entry over at Wicked Wedneday, hope to see you there.

Happy Birthday Angela!

Today is Angela's birthday, she is my hubs god-daughter and one of the craftiest 11 year olds I know! She just completed making her halloween dress out of duct tape and is now contemplating the accessories she's going to make for it. CUTE!!

Thank goodness my newest purchase from TGF Anya Celebrates arrived just in time for me to make a quick and simple tag for her. This was colored with watercolor pencils because I don't own any of the Primsacolor pencils, but I am seriously considering purchasing a few because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look of colored pencils on Kraft.




Challenges:
Anyone for Anya: Flower Power!
My Sheri CraftS: #91 Back & Forth

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all the comments, everyone is always so sweet!

Wicked Wednesday - Take Time for Me Challenge Reminder

I was walking into a store the other day when I commented to my daugther that there were a lot of senior citizens in the parking lot with white pants and pink shirts on....it was almost an epidemic there were so many ladies with the same color combo on. Then my daughter looked at me and started laughing because, I too, was wearing white pants and a pink top. So here I am after a loooooooooooong day of being with my four kiddos all day...a little stressed and looking for a little "ME" time! You might be laughing, but it's oh, so true!

Isn't this the cutest stamp?!! I have no idea who it is by because the manufacturer's name isn't on the wood block, but I do know I bought it at the Goosebarn over 5 years ago. All the DP's and embellie's are little pieces of leftovers that I held on to because I didn't have it in my heart to throw them away. There is also some hand-doodling and rub-ons above my head to stress the point that I'm feeling a little stressed!

You have until 7:00 pm this Tuesday evening to join us at Wicked Wednesday for this fun challenge! I hope you're able to find some crafty time for you this week!

Wicked Wednesday - Take Time for You

Ahhhh....nothing screams "me time" like a bubble bath and glass of wine! How relaxing and calming because you get to close the door on the entire day of troubles that came your way...almost like they never happened! Then you get out of the tub, get dressed, and while you still have a "warm and fuzzy" feeling from the wine you look at the tub and realize that...yes, indeedy....you are the only one that is going to clean all the soap scum from the inside of the tub! Back to reality....

The Bath Girl image is from Jellypark who is our sponsor for the "Take Time for You" challenge at Wicked Wednesday this week. I hope you find some crafty time and decide to join us, you have until 7:00 pm next Tuesday evening to enter.
You know we'd love to have you join us.
