Butterflies

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week for TPE#141, all you have to do is use BUTTERFLIES on your card or project and then link back to the TPE blog once you've got your creation posted!

For my card I've used a sweet Stampin Up set and papers that I've had for ages (sorry, they're retired), but thought were perfect for this challenge. I had the great priviledge of joining in on a friend's swap a little bit ago and this is a replica of the card I chose to submit for that swap.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

P.S. I know there is a different card up on the TPE blog for me, but it's because this card was on my other computer and I've already shown that other cutie BLD butterfly, here on my blog. :) Thanks for stopping over here to see today's card!

On The Move

Hi Friends!
Welcome back for another fantastic Thursday and a new sketch over at The Deconstructed Sketch! I have a good feeling this week's sketch will help you shine and I can't wait to see your incredible creations for sketch #44!

For my card I've used one of the AMAZING digi stamps that I picked up from Arielle's WAX FRUIT COMPANY (and she happened to use this immie too this week)! For this card I've used a stamp simply called, Car Talk and it can be found HERE in the WFC store in several different forms. The papers and button are Basic Grey, Konnichiwa and the sentiment is Amuse. The fab WTC vintage car is colored in Copics.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll join in the sketchy fun this week!

This adorable wee lad is Easter Ezra and he's here to wish a very sweet someone Happy Birthday!! :) I know, I know, his name is "Easter" Ezra, but I cropped out the Easter basket. It just goes to show how very versatile all of the BLD immies are!

Getting Krafty

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week for TPE#140, our challenge is being hosted by Peachy Keen Stamps and their adorable Country Bumpkin line designed by my very dear friend, Lorie Souther! All you have to do is incorporate kraft paper into your card or project and then link back to the TPE blog once you've got your creation posted!

For my card I've used this sweet sweet set named Max (after Lorie's dear grand baby) that is perfect for all the little lads in your life! Max comes with 5 mix and match sentiments too!! I've paired Max with some sweet krafty papers from My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday. To be honest, I was SO EXCITED for this challenge, not just because I was getting to showcase one of the Country Bumpkins, but also because I was really struggling with how to use this pad from MME and I knew this would be the perfect challenge to provide me with that inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing Country Bumpkin inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

Card Kit Sunday

Hello and a very blessed Sunday to you!
It's been quite some time since my friends, Mary, Sandra and I have posted from one of our card kits, but we're popping in today with just that!

This time around, Sandra prepared a FANTASTIC kit for us filled with beautiful papers from Basic Grey Out of Print, Chichiboulie Fairie image from Stamping Bella (Eloise Greengrass) and a plethora of fun embellishments to choose from.
Normally, we wait with eager anticipation to receive our kits in the mail, but just a few short weeks ago Mary and I got to venture to Sandra's house and get our kits in person! Whenever we get together, it's such a fun time; filled with lots of laughter and inspiration (even if we don't get much sleep)!

I went with a pretty simple layout for my card, because the BG papers are beautifully busy. I decided to take the fun piece of corkboard that Sandra gave us to play with and cut it out using an SU Sizzix die. I thought it would be a fun way to give the flowers more dimension. Eloise is colored in Copics and has a bit of diamond Stickles on her wings. The sentiment is from PTI.

Thanks so much for popping over to spy my card! Please hop on over to Sandra and Mary's blogs too and see how they used all of these same fun elements!

We're Buddies

Hi Friends!
Welcome back for another fantastic Thursday and a new sketch over at The Deconstructed Sketch! This week we're rolling out sketch #43 and it's another spectacular one!

For my card I've used Friendbots designed by Torico for There She Goes Stamps. I've paired these best bud robots with papers and button from Basic Grey Oliver and colored them up in Copics. The sentiment is from TGF.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll join in the sketchy fun this week!
