Flutterbye Beauties

Just a quick post here. I did a group of notecards for a friend who ordered some. I used my Cuttlebug on the backing for the script writing. Everything was embossed with distress inks. The paper is from my trusty Walmart's DCWV. The flowers are Prima. The butterfly images are embossed from Martha Stewart's butterfly pack of stamps. They're so pretty.

Quick question I saw a challenge called Magical Mondays but now I can't seem to find it again. If anyone knows it could you send me the link? I'd sure appreciate it.

I won the 3rd place prize over at Particraft's 1000 follower blog candy. It was an A5 stamp sheet. I chose the butterflies, I can't wait to get them to do some more flutterings. Thanks Sue!!

I have some other cards I'll be posting later today so check back. Hugs to all and thanks so much for leaving me such sweet comments. It really makes my day.

Victoria Case Stamps!

I have long admired the Victoria Case Stamps, but regretably do not have any yet. SO, what better chance to get some than to enter their blog candy contest. They also have a new release coming out on July 30th. So hurry over and enter for the candy and then pop back on the 30th to check out the new stuff!

Have a blessed Sunday!

Sweet Dancing Rosie

Happy Saturday! This week at Karen's Doodles Challenge USA we had a sketch to follow. I decided to use "Dancing Rosie". Karen's Rosie images are some of my fav's! I just love her spirit. I got a new paper pack from Michael's on clearance by DCWV, callled the At Home Stack. These glittery papers are wonderful. I colored Rosie with my prisma pencils and added some ribbon from American Crafts, specialty ribbon, called Sparkle. I hope you enjoy it!

I apologize for the bad picture quality. I was having problems with my camera.

"Best Friends Forever" 2nd post for today!

Hi there! This is my second post for today. Miracle of miracles! I had nobody home and no canning or chores today so I dedicated it to getting some scrappin done. Relaxation at it's best - for me anyway. If you're looking for the Squigglefly or The Sweet Stop challenge post it's below this one.

This card is for the Kenny K's Crafty Girlz Challenge #2. They had a wopping 77 entries for their very first challenge last week and I can see why. These Kenny K girls images are so adorable. I love using them. This time I chose to use "Miss Thang", she's got some sexy class to her - LOL Again she's colored with my prisma pencils and my blender pen. I used paper from my stash again. My papers are so old nobody would care anyway, he he. The flowers are from my Swirlydoo's Kit. I'm savin those to make christms presents with. Their products are so amazing. The little leaves are actually trees cut at 2" from my cricut stamping cartridge. Slick - huch?!? And lastly the sentiment is from Word Art World again. Remember they have a ton a FREEBIE's so go check it out!

Lastly Kenny K's is offering the "Dixie Daisy" image as a freebie right now so anybody can get started and enjoy the challenge! She's pictured above.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Ya'll are the best and I really enjoy reading all your comments and criticism.

"You Make Me Smile"

I'm running out of time quickly to get my cards done this week. Where has the time gone?!? Just to let you know my recipe's are pretty short because I'm trying to work just from my "stash" of this and that to get it used up. It's working better than I intended for it too. YAY!

This cute little image is from Squigglefly called "Funny Bunny". It's supposed to be a bunny in a cabbage, I believe. But the challenge this week at Squigglefly is to use "Beautiful Blooms" so I decided to make it into a rose. I just fell in love with this adorable image when I saw it. They also have new images out today. You can check it out here.

I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop for my card. Their challenge was to use the weekly sketch and add a tag somewhere. My sentiment is from Jen (great name by the way!), over at World Art World. She has a ton of freebies and some great word art to purchase as well.

I'm off. I've got a few things to do and then I'll be back to post my Kenny K's entry. WooHoo!!

Hugs - Jen

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Wednesday All!

I made this card for the Jitterbuggin challenge and I just realized that you were supposed to use pastels. Oops! Well I'm gonna post it anyway.

Yesterday I celebrated 19 years with my wonderful hubby and I made this card for him. It hasn't been an easy 19 years, especially with my health and all that goes with it. My son Dennis was a miracle baby, as I wasn't supposed to have any children. My hubby has stood by me and loved me and taken care of me all these years and we are more in love today than we were that first night we met. He is my everything and I'm so grateful to God that he was placed in my path. He has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone no matter their situation. Not only was I blessed with him but I gained his strong, faithful family as well. How could it get any better than that!?! No matter what God throws our way for obstacles we remain strong in our relationship knowing that our love will always see us through no matter where we are or what we're doing.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a blessed day.

Hugs - Jen
