Lillith and a Flutter By Wednesday

Hello and happy Wednesday. It's time for this week's Flutter by Wednesday FBW90 challenge. I have used another stamp from the Jacksonbelle Embellishments store today. LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS. You need to go check them out. They carry a ton of different crafting supplies. Today's card uses Lillith by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and I have paired her with some Pink Paislee Patterned Paper also sold at the Jacksonbelle store. The patterned paper I used on the background has butterflies on it. I hope I didn't cover them up too much. LOL. Here is my card.....

Here is a pic of the sketch I used from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge MMSC34........

And here is a pic of the Copics I used........

Just like all the other Kraftin Kimmie stamps I have used, I just love Lillith. She just looks like she is up to no good. And don't forget about checking her and all the other goodies out from the Jacksonbelle Embellishments store.

When you play along with our Flutter By Wednesday FBW90 challenge this week please make sure you use a BUTTERFLY, a FAIRY or an ANGEL on your card/project. Use the keyword FBW90 when you upload to a public gallery and add your card to Mr. Linky on Danni's Flutter By blog.

BTW, our new Flutter By Wednesday blog will go live next Wednesday, the 6th. WOOHOO!!! We will be having a blog hop that day so stay tuned for more exciting news from Danni and the FBW team.

See you back here in a few with another sneakie peekie from Club Anya and The Greeting Farm.

Look Out for Drucilla

Hello and happy Tuesday. Today's post is for two challenges. First is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge MTSC54 and I can't wait to show you the card I made using her sketch today. Mercy's sketch is just perfect for this image I wanted to use. I just have to tell you ladies that I just adore the image I'm using on my card. This is Drucilla by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and I got her from the Jacksonbelle Embellishments store. And how about that beautiful Patterned Paper? It's by  October Afternoon and is also available from the Jacksonbelle Embellishments store.  The second challenge is Jacksonbelle's Tuesday Challenge and it's called Rollin in Ribbon and you are to use ribbon in an unusual way. I used a piece of ribbon underneath my main image panel and have sewn the edges of my ribbon on my Janome Sewing Machine. Here is a pic of my card with Drucilla.....

Here is a pic of Mercy's sketch.............

LPS and a New Year's Color Challenge

Hello my friends and how are you on this wonderful Monday morning? It's time for another challenge from the Little Paper Shop and our challenge today, LPSC48, is "Ring in the New Year" Color Challenge by our own Allison Filo. The colors are Navy Blue, Light Blue and Silver. If you don't have these colors then you can use anything similar to qualify for the challenge. Here is a pic of the color challenge...........

For my card I used a digi image called Jena and Hank. Yes I am a dog lover so I just adore this image. I did not have Silver cardstock so I substituted Basic Grey for the Silver. Here is my card.....

I used an LPS sketch by Cindy Haffner that was from May 2009. By the way, if you haven't seen the Sketchbook that our awesome DT member Allison Filo put together you need to head on over to the LPS blog NOW to print out your copy. She has complied a document of all the LPS sketches for 2009 for you to use at your convenience. I don't know about you ladies but if I have a sketch to start with when my mojo is MIA, then I feel like I can still get something done. Here is a pic of sketch LPSC15 that I used.....

Lastly, here is a pic of the Copics I used...........

Please use the keyword LPSC48 when you upload to a public gallery and also make sure you leave a link to your card in the comments on the LPS blogpost. Check out what the other awesome DT girlies have for you today.......
