Flutterying By Lily, and Scrapping Pages.

Hard card today! Make your own, no pattern papers were challenges at Cute Card Thursday, and Fab n Funky . So, I made the background for my little Lily Fairy. Difficult for me! First off coloring without a starting point from picking colors from the pattern papers. And I came up with blue?! How often do I use blue?! I am happy with how it turned out, but it did take me awhile to get there. Clean is simple was the challenge for Flutter By and that was a challenge for me! I've gotten used to pattern papers and layers. It was also Thank you at ABC.

Than catching up on scrapbook pages still. These are from Gabi's birthday party in Nov. She and a friend turned ten a week apart. We did it up at The Great Wolfe Lodge. Loads of fun there. Indoor water park, Magic Quest, and a very cool birthday cake were in store for their party.

A friend made the cake. The girls both love Littlest Pet Shop, so she made a cake that came apart, so each girl had part of the cake at the end of the night, and all the guest got to pick out some of the pet shops. Very cool cake. It looked like a park, and all of it was made out of frosting. And she made little carrots, and stuff for the animals.

Needless to say, Gabi disliked the green page. Girl is so funny! the other page is okay, cuz it was purple. But the cuteness factor of the cake page didn't win her over! It's another one that will be appericated when she's 25! I love the page, it looks great. Used the Cricut again on both of the pages. That tool is so much fun. Even got it to connect to my computer finally! So yippie for me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: copics, Taken with teal cardstock, misc SU inks, Lily Fairy stamp, nesties, stickles, DCWV papers for the scrapbook pages,

Birthday Magnolia

A few challenges on this card today. I paper pieced her outfit. The pack of paper has tags, and I used the tags to get some different fun patterns for the clothes. Looks like her cheeks need to be blended better. I also ran out of room for my sentiment. I grabbed that swirl punch at Joann's last week. Thought it looks so cool, I'd add another row on the top of my pink sheet. Didn't like it so much afterwards.

JUGS-Pink, Green, Lavender, and yellow-optional. I thought this paper line, Angelee from The Angel Company was perfect for this challenge.

Just Magnolia-Sketch.

Cute Card Thursday-Touchy Feely-texture. I added flowers, embossed the nesties, and a fun trim.

ABC-Sparkle.

Flutterby-Open Challenge.

Working on scrapbook pages still too. These are of Gabi's dance recital last year. She's not overly pleased with these two pages. The Best Friends page was for her baton class, and she said it was "Too Green!" Um, kiddio, you're wearing green and black! Kids! I'm sure she'll appreciate it more in a few years! I used my Cricut to cut out the title. That black sheet is covered in glitter. I found those papers at Target. They have some fun colors. I used a silver sheet on the page below.

The ballet page is beautiful, as far as I'm concerned! She wanted me to use a purple sheet instead of the blue that was in the K and Co paper pack. But the photos looked prettier with the blue. (I think it was because it pulled out her eye color.) I will get good used out of this pack of papers, as all of her costumes this year will be black and white. I found this pack at a scrapbook store, but also saw it at Michael's in the wedding scrapbook area.

My friend took these photos of Gabi, and they turned out so good. She has three boys, so she doesn't get to play with girly photos too often.

Gabi was in Swan Lake at the recital last year. They have one big ballet dance during the recital, and a few classes are part of it. Her group was Russia, I think. Her costume was so pretty! I loved this costume. Made her seem like she was a little flower blooming out of her costume. I snapped some photos of her at the recital with friends, and will make a page with it. But these photos were too pretty not to make a page of them too!

I'm adding big photos of the Swan Lake pages, because my family hasn't seen these photos yet. Also, so I can let my friend see how pretty they turned out in a scrapbook page. Didn't she do a great job on those pictures?! Can I say again, how much I just love these photos?!

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: TAC paper, PTI and SU cardstock, perfect plum ink, Magnolia stamp, stickles, nesties, Blossoms and butterfly DCWV stack, K and Co stack, primas, Jolee's flowers, Martha punch,

In love.

Man, I love how this card turned out. So flipping cute, don't ya think?! I just got these stamps in last week from All That's Scraps. This butterfly image was too cute not to ink up as soon as I had time. Ack! Just saw a new stamp on there as I was getting their link!

Looks like I need to get copic refills for two of my favorite skin colors. Where have you all had good luck with getting supplies for refilling copics?

Today I did some challenges on here.

Sending Bear Hugs!

Grabbed this cute image from Belles and Whistles. I love Elisabeth Bell images. I grabbed a few of the new images that they just released. I've gotten so many new stamps, but haven't played with any of them yet. The sentiment is from a new TAC set that is coming out.

I've been having a difficult time lately, due to some major personal issues, which is why I haven't been on here posting. So, I used this image first from them, because I'm just really in some needs of hugs! LOL! I'm adopted, and was in foster care for years before being adopted. Lucky for me, a big chuck of those years were with the family that adopted me. My first Christmas with them, I was five, they gave me a bear. I loved the Brady Bunch, and Cindy Brady was my favorite. So, I named her Cindy Bear. I would hug her when ever I was feeling down. To let you know how special Cindy Bear was to me, I still have her in a box. She's full of holes, smelly, and ratty looking. But that bear gave the best hugs!

This card also covers a few challenges.

Peaceful Willow

Here's a big challenge card. It's my Pile It On card. Their challenge was pastry. Willow with her sweet plate of Christmas Cookies seemed perfect for their challenge.

My other challenges:

ABC-Embossing. I heat embossed the bottom sheet under Willow with the dazzling diamond technique. Hard to see it it my layers, but I promise it's there!

Truly Scrumptious-sketch and doodling. Another hard to see element to the card. I doodle over the lighter brown sheet with a sparkle clear gel pen doing a faux stitching along the edges and the swirl pattern in the paper.

La La Land Craft Challenge- 2 pattern papers, color combo-red, brown, cream, embossing, scallops, and paper piercing. My paper piercing is hard to see, it's on the light brown sheet. I followed the swirls in the pattern, and around the edge.

Spoon Full of Sugar-Christmas.

Whimsy Stamp Challenge-eyelets.

Three Clovers was to use pink. I picked Basic Grey's Bittersweet, because it had both pink and red in to combine both color combos from La La Land, and Three Clovers.
