Flutter By Wednesday #127

I am very sad to announce that I will be saying goodbye to my Flutter By Wednesday team for a little while. Starting this week I will be taking a leave of absence from the team. I wanted to thank Danni and the whole team for being such amazing teammates!! FBW has been such a wonderful and inspirational place for me! Thanks Danni! Thanks girls! I will still be playing along with you whenever I get the chance!

This weeks challenge: OPEN! Create a NEW creation using a butterfly, fairy or angel.

Have fun and happy fluttering! Be sure to visit the Flutter By team:

Oh, my gosh...no stamps? Yep, I only used a Tim Holtz embossing folder, some Fantasy Film and a Tattered Angels butterfly frame with some glimmer mist!

It's a Fall Flutter By Wednesday!

Stamp: Sweet Pea Stamps- Caron Vinson "Moonlight Fairy"
A quick version...and a not so quick version...

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday #126!
This weeks challenge:
Create a NEW creation using a butterfly, fairy or angel and the theme of Fall!
Leave a DIRECT link to your creation in the InLinkz at the FBW blog before 12:00 midnight on October 19th.

For my top card, another fast technique! I used Kraft cardstock and only 4 pens! Copic Markers in E40 and E43. An extra fine white paint pen and a Stardust clear. The white paint pen is super quick to use, but you could also use the Copic Opaque white like paint for more precision. (And not make a big splotchy boo-boo like I did!). I used one of the BRAND NEW Sweet Pea images by Caron Vinson. She is one of Sweet Pea's 3 new artists with incredible designs, so be sure to check them out.

Flutter by Wedneday: Sparkle & Shine!

Stamps: Sweet Pea Stamps - Elaine Cox "Playing with Stars"

Flutter By Wednesday #124
The challenge this week is sparkle and shimmer with your butterfly, fairy or angel.

Once you've created your NEW creation, please leave a DIRECT link to it, not your blog in the InLinkz system at the FBW blog.

Sorry, I'm still having tech issues. So, I pulled an image of a older project. I posted quite awhile back on the Sweet Pea blog, but I don't think I ever posted it on mine. The embossing powder is actually an amazing duochrome EP from Lindy's Stamp Gang. It is my favorite EP ever!

Why so much sparkle?? Well.....on to the Oh, Alice Challenge....

CHAPTER 29: What makes you SHINE? (or SPARKLE :)
`Why, what are YOUR shoes done with?' said the Gryphon.

`I mean, what makes them so shiny?' Alice looked down at them, and considered a little before she gave her answer. `They're done with blacking, I believe.' `

Boots and shoes under the sea,' the Gryphon went on in a deep voice, `are done with a whiting. Now you know.' `

And what are they made of?' Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity.

`Soles and eels, of course,' the Gryphon replied rather impatiently: `any shrimp could have told you that.'

`If I'd been the whiting,' said Alice, whose thoughts were still running on the song, `I'd have said to the porpoise, "Keep back, please: we don't want YOU with us!"'

`They were obliged to have him with them,' the Mock Turtle said: `no wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.'

`Wouldn't it really?' said Alice in a tone of great surprise.

**If you are reading this, that means I didn't get my card posted yet. I am busy sorting through 3 big boxes of Prima product and prepping more make and take kits for the Shop Hop. I thought I'd share a peek at one the 6x6 layouts I made. Paper Tales' movie theme was Marie Antoinette. You cannot see them in the pic, but we punched flowers out of vintage music note paper.

This is the last week of Shop Hop. Ends on Sunday. Whew! I'll be back soon. Thanks for sticking with me gals!
