Fairies Little Companion

A fairy AND a dragon in one image?  Impossible to go wrong with this one!!!  It is drawn by ching chou kuik and called Fairie's Little Companion.  I fell in love with it immediately and now I have colored and created with it I love it even more.

After coloring I added plenty of stickles for the scales on the dragon and wings on the fairy and jewel in her headband and on her dress.  That perfect for this card gold ribbon was tied to something at Christmas and I knew it shouldn't be thrown away.  - See Edgar- I have learned since the google eyes!

Challenges:
Flutter By Wednesday #136 - open with a fairy, butterfly or angel

Berry Nice!

This is Aurora from the exclusive to SCACD collection and is the image is named Berry Nice. The patterned paper is from the FABULOUS Kaisercraft collection Lilac Avenue. I know that one day I will run out of this paper, but please, let's not talk about that!!! I distressed the edges with my handy dandy pair of scissors. I keep meaning to purchase a distressing tool, but the only time I think about it is when USING my scissors to distress something.

The GORGEOUS bling flowers are Petaloo Dazzlers. I use these a LOT. If you don't, you should and right now they are even on SALE at SCACD!!! I am entering this card in several different FUN challenges.

Challenges:
Flutterby Wednesday #116- butterfly and fav color- purple
ETSY Inspired Challenge #100 - inspired by Hope Pendant (I hope the link works because I am BUYING that after I finish this post, LOL)
Crafty Calendar Challenge #11- sketch and theme- grapes make me think wine, and wine makes me think PARIS!
Delightful Sketches- Distressing

Just Because

Just Because is from the first set of stamps by Victoria Case exclusively for SCACD called the Hearts and Hugs collection. I adore this ENTIRE set, but this one is definitely near the top of my favorite ones.

I decided it was time to PLAY and enter a few challenges for fun!

Flutterby Wednesday #115 - Open
Papertake Weekly - Sketch #45
Creative Inspiration #71 - Animals
Pile It On #29 - Stretch That Plastic

The Silentness

As a mom- the name of this stamp "The Silentness" just sounds fabulous to me. I can imagine a million different things.

However, The Silentness is an image drawn by ©ching-chou kuik's for Sweet Pea Stamps Fantasty Art Collection. This beautiful sentiment is also on the same plate #57 with the image.



I created this card in the same manner as most others. I selected the image, them the paper then began to color. Once that was finished, I just began to put it together and see where I ended up. I did refer to a sketch to start this time. I have this card sitting on my mantel, and am enjoying looking at it. I will put it in my next box of cards to Operation Write Home, but until then, I am just enjoying the peacefulness it gives off.

Challenges:
Card Patterns- #71 sketch
ETSY Inspired - #95 these buttons- the colors
If The Shoe Fits - #40 Spread Your Wings
FBW #112 - Open use butterfly, fairy or angel
Pile It On - #26 My Favorite Things- FAIRIES- of course!!! :)

Just a little pinch....

The challenge from Macabre Monday was

Devious Doctors & Fiendish Florence Nightingales

I know that this is typically Donna Fairy from PMS and a sweet and adorable image. However, when I read this challenge, the first thing that came to my mind was her holding this HUGE syringe. I knew I could play with it just enough to make it a bit gruesome and not so sweet. Sorry Katie and Diem, but I just HAD to!
I have a good friend who can not STAND paisley print, it makes her think of amoebas. Well, what could be more creepy than amoebas with skulls in them?
oh Nej & Sandi- I USED the tape! :D

Challenges:
Macabre Monday #39 - Devious Doctors & Fiendish Florence Nightingales
The Burtonesque Dolls #3 - black flowers and skulls
FBW #110- flowers with fairy, butterfly or angel
PMS Makeup for the Weekend #27 - Use 3 flowers

Fluttering By with some challenges!

I used the Pixie Dust Fairy digi stamp from Meljen's Designs. I decided to mimic the stitch pattern in the image around the edge of the card. The pp has both butterflies and glowers on it and of course and extra flower in the corner, just for good measure. I put some Ranger Glossy Accents on the wings and like the look.

Challenges:
Flutter By Wednesday #108 - Open with butterfly, fairy or angel
Card Positioning Systems #165 - sketch
DU2DS #36 - digi image & flowers
Oh, Alice! #11 - card for a child or with a child image

Flutter By Wednesday # 107 and other challenges

It is time to Flutter By! The FBW #107 challenge is clean and simple. I had to stop myself, but DID add a little bling! Be certain to use a BUTTERFLY, FAIRY or ANGEL in your creation!


This image is titled Restless Thoughts and is part of the ching-chou kuiks Fantasy Art Collection. I hadn't looked at the artist's colored version in some time, so find it interesting that we both used purple, or perhaps not since purple is my favorite color. I also managed to see her with a bit more skin showing, LOL! That is one of the things I love about stamps- everyone sees them just a bit differently!

Challenges:
FBW #107 - Clean and Simple


This is my second attempt at a Michelle Zindorf style card. There seems to be some interest in what that means and how this is done. I start with a white piece of cardstock and use a brayer to apply the color. I also use sponges for other parts and of course stamps for the images. It is FUN! I have so many ideas rolling around in my head and I want to play, play, play!!!

Challenges:
Macabre Monday #036 - Music Mayehm - Witchy Woman
Stamp-It-Crazy - Full Moon
Color Create Challenge #43 - Burnt Orange, Black & Cream
Darkness Inspiration - Bewitched

Flutter By Wednesday

It is time for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #106. This week is a wonderful sketch created by Mercy!!

Her is my take on the sketch. The image is from Tiddly Inks and so FUN! I have colored it up in at least 10 different combinations so far!

Remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel as the focus of your creation and come Flutter with us!

Flutter By Wednesday #105

This week at Flutter By Wednesday is an open challenge. The only requirement is that you use a butterfly, fairy or angel.
There are some changes coming to Flutter By Wednesday- some exciting one! Since change is what butterflies are all about, I decided that this is the perfect week for my butterfly box!

Come Flutter with me!!

It is time again for the Flutter By Wednesday challenge #104. This week the challenge is to use a butterfly, fairy or angel and have some sparkle! We also have a sponsor this week! It is Glitterbabe Greetings! There are some really fun digi images in her store- be sure to check it out!



This week for my creation I used the Masked Green Fairy image from Sweet Pea Stamps. I ended up using Kaisercraft pearls for the sparkle portion. I was going to use standard bling, but the pearls worked so much better I had to go with it :)

Flutter By Wednesday challenge #103

This week the challenge at Flutter By Wednesday is to use the colors green, blue and white with your butterfly, fairy or angel. I used one of the fairies from The Greeting Farm this week.


Be certain to link directly to your post not your blog in general. If you have any questions how to do this, Danni has created a tutorial post here. This week there is a different linking system being tried out that will give little pictures!!! I am excited and really hope it works!

Time Flies When You Flutter By!

Today is Flutter By challenge #102! I hope you join us this week! It is an OPEN challenge so all you need to do is include a Fairy, Butterfly or Angel on your project. Can't wait to see your creations!


I made this card using the image Time Flies from the Fantasy Art Collection by ching-chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps. The background is washi paper from a friend in Japan. I edged everything and decorated the white brads with my new gold paint pen-loving this new toy!

I am giving away some Sweet Pea Stamps blog candy HERE!

It is time to FLUTTER

Flutter By Wednesday that is :) Your challenge this week, should you chose to accept it, is to use a shamrock and/or the color green. You also need to be certain to use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. This week I am very excited to be using Chelly from Paper Makeup Stamps. Not only is she PERFECT for this week's challenge, but PMS is also our sponsor at FBW this week!! Be certain you check out what an amazing prize is up for grabs!!! It is a random draw so EVERYONE has a chance to win!!!

Happy 100th Flutter By Wednesday!

I am so honored to be part of the Flutter By Wednesday team and to celebrate the 100th challenge!!! The challenge originated with only butterflies, so the team decided to work together on a project. We want to honor Danni and how sweet and wonderful she is. Karen came up with the idea for us all to make these sweet butterfly boxes and provided us a pattern created by Brenda that can be found here.

Now- show us YOUR Flutterby!
