Wicked Wednesday - Love to Learn

Please scroll down for this week's FBW challenge: Favorite Color

**********************************************************


This week's challenge at Wicked Wednesday is Love to Learn and we were given some adorable images to use from this week's sponsor, the Graphics Shoppe. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to color this girlie's curly hair, but once I did I was really happy with the end result. I was lucky enough to find this adorable ruler inchie (from those previous ITT swaps) in my stash, and then I added a quick Dymo sentiment to finish it off.

Hope you know we would love to have you join us at Wicked Wednesday, and you have until next Tuesday to join us. Don't forget that an ATC is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and super fun to make!

FBW #205 Favorite Color

There's nothing better than creating fun projects with a favorite color and how awesome that this week's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday is: Use Your Favorite Color. Paper Make-Up Stamps is our sponsor and not only did they provide the entire DT with images this week, but they are also offering a $15 gift voucher to their store to this week's winner!


My absolute favorite color is blue, think clear skies with out a cloud in the sky. Second on my list of favorites is sage/celery green. Put them together and you get the most awesome color to create with....aqua. Throw in a little bit of Kraft paper and OMG, I started to get a little light-headed from "favorite color overload!"

I used my new Sizzix Flip-its die and mesh bling once again because they are just too much fun not to use! I also pulled out my MFT flat cloud die and paired it with Theresa Collins double-sided Fabrications DP. Again, OMG...I just found this DP in a 6x6 pad which is perfect for cards.


Grab your fairies and butterflies and join us in this fun and colorful challenge, you can find all the rules and uploading directions HERE!

Latte Anya

Scroll down for today's Wicked Wednesday challenge reminder:
Black & White, and One Other Color

******************************************************


My new TGF Latte Anya arrived a couple of days ago, just in time for me to make a quick post-it/gift-card holder for the Anything...but a card challenge that's going on at Anyone for Anya.

On Thursday I had 20 minutes to spare while waiting for my son to finish one of his after-school activities, so I went to the Joanne's that was close-by and found a package of decorative post-its for 50 cents. How cool that the package had 2 pads of post-its in it? I found a matching package of file folders (2 per package also) for another 50 cents. So....for $1, I was able to make two of these adorable post/gift-card holders...and I still have 1 ununsed file folder!



Thanks for stopping by, your comments always make me smile!

WW B&W and One other color - Reminder

It's Saturday! That means I have a quick reminder for this week's challenge at Wicked Wednesday which is Black & White and One other color. As you can tell I decided to use pink as my other color. I clear embossed each shoe after stamping them, then applied TH Spun Sugar DI over the images. Easy Peasy!

I've had these shoe stamps for a while, as a matter of fact a few years ago I was in a HUGE ITT (inchie, twinchie, trinchie) swap over at the CMB and I couldn't wait to use these adorable stamps to make 500 (yes, I did say 500) twinchies. After hours of making all of my required ITT's, I sent them before the due date with enough $ for priority return postage. If you can guess it...the hostess for this swap flaked on all of us...she kept ALL of the ITT's, and all of the money and postage that was sent to her by dozens and dozens of people. Stealing is stealing, and is never justified...I would say her name but think Blogger might shut me down if I called her by the name what I really want to call her. I think that's why these shoe stamps have been hidden in a very dark place in my craft area, they remind me of a time that made me very unhappy.

Thanks for stopping by today and I'm sorry you had to read my little rant, can you tell I'm not quite over it yet?!

Arigato

A couple of weeks ago there was a Scrapbooking Expo in town and while I was there I bought a few new goodies to play with...a handful of Copics, a new Sizzix Flip-it die, and mesh bling. If only I had know how fast I was going to fall for the mesh bling I would have bought some in every color...OMG, I'm weak in the knees just thinking about this fabulous product.

I'm still working out the kinks and watching some YouTube videos for this die because as easy as it looks to work with, lining up the paper and images took a little tweaking on my part. All in all, I figured it out and am really pleased with the finished card.




Don't you love the mesh bling?!! I MUST HAVE MORE!!! LOL!


The image is from Sister Stamps and is called Kiyoko.
The sentiment, lantern, and flowers are from the Hero Arts Arigato set.
The DP is SEI-Poppy

Challenges:
Yumi & Fumi Handmade: #2 Use a Sentiment
Simon Says Stamp: Put a Stamp On It
Through the Craft Room Door: Diva or Anything Goes

Arigato, for stopping by and leaving all the sweet comments.

Wicked Wednesday - B&W and one other Color

Please scroll down for this week's Flutter By Wednesday Birthday challenge post.

***********************************************************


This image is absolutely adorable!! It is by Birdie Brown who is our sponsor this week at Wicked Wednesday. The challenge for the week is Black & White and one other Color...I used Copic R20 and R30 for my one other color. It sure looks like I used a different color on the balloon though doesn't it? I think because I used Ritz Glitter in Nuance Chaude (warm highlights) it gave the R-color's a different hue...but I promise the balloon was colored only in those 2 colors and in real-life, it doesn't appear to be different at all.

We'd love to see your rendition of Black & White and one other Color! Feel free to link up HERE before 7:00 next Tuesday evening, hope to see you there.

Flutter By Wednesday #204 - Birthday

This week over at Flutter By Wednesday we are celebrating with a BIRTHDAY themed challenge...even our FBW leader, Danni is partaking in the festivities and had a birthday yesterday, lol!

The minute I saw this adorable digi image from Bugaboo I had to have it because seriously...what's not to love about a birthday fairy decorating a cupcake with strawberries! Doesn't this image just make you smile?!!



I thought I'd show off the inside because not only do I have one, but I have two Bugaboo digi images of these cherub looking fairies and their strawberries. I posted this next picture because I was hoping you could see all the sparkling glitter on the frosting....not sure if it shows up very good or not.


Don't forget, you have until next Tuesday evening to upload your projects for the Birthday challenge at Flutter By Wednesday, hope you can join us! While you're there, check out the adorable cards my teamies made for this challenge...and if you think about it, give a Happy Birthday shout-out to Danni!

Thanks for stopping by, it's always fun to read your sweet comments.

Wicked Wednesday - Back to School Reminder

Here's a quick reminder that you have until 7:00 pm Tuesday evening to join us in the Back to School challenge that's going on over at Wicked Wednesday. You know we'd love to have you join us in these fun little challenges, afterall...an ATC is only 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches.

I've been on a "I have to use up what I have" mission lately and believe me, there's a lot in my craft area that needs used up! Like this DP that has a school bus border...I've had it for almost 12 years. How do I know it's been 12 years? I bought it the year we moved into our new house and today is our house's 12th birthday!

The apple and book are from a swap I was in a couple of years ago at SP and is from the Hello Kitty cartridge.
The gold stars are leftovers from previous cards.
The alpha beads have been around for a few years.

********************************************************

If you are wondering....we are going to have cake tonight, we'll put 12 candles on it and sing happy birthday to our house. Then I'll take pictures of the house, like I do every year, to put in the photo album. There'll be a front view and any home improvements to archive the year's changes, afterall....it is part of our family.
