Fairytale time

 Good morning!! It's another Friday already!!!  Boy I thought July went by fast but August is going even faster!!!
We'd like to see your fairytale creations this week!
Our sponsor is Magnolia-licious so I decided to go with ballerina Tilda and a fairy sentiment from SU.  The papers are my mind's eye.  I colored Tilda with copics and added some stickles to her crown.  The flowers are from Wild orchid crafts.  I added stitching and distressed the edges with ink and scissors.
It's an easel card and the inside has MME papers and some pearls and hemp twine.

What a fun day!!  It's a MeJen designs digi release day!!!  There are some new images just released today over at the Whimsy Store!! And  because they're digi's, you can pop over, buy your fav and start coloring in seconds!!!

 I decided to use this super sassy teddy bear teacher!!!  How fun is she?!?!  I paired her with basic grey max and whiskers papers.  The tag is from whimsy as well, I did not ink up the sentiment inside.  Instead I added my own from the handmade seals set.
I added a fun little school charm and a metal grommet.  Along with some wild orchid flowers and a felt flower.  I also stitched the edges and added a bit of sparkle!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Afternoon everybody!!!  Today is my parents' anniversary!  So I wanted to make them a card and of course waited until today!!  I used this fabulous Whiff of Joy image, wedding carriage.   My parents are not newlyweds, but I liked the look of the sentiment with the carriage.  So it'll be just a little joke:)
I went with black and white papers and lots of pink accents.  I added stickles to the veil and flower soft to the back of the carriage.  This will be a short post as I need to stick it in the mailbox before they get home!!!!

Sunday Sketch and Stamp

Hi all!!  I hope you are enjoying this weekend!!!  We are having perfect weather and had a bit of time yesterday just to sit outside and enjoy it!  We hope to do the same today as well but first I have a card to share with you!
We have another fabulous sketch over at Sunday sketch and stamp!  Claire designed this fun sketch for us! 
I used 2 Whiff of joy images.  First is Melinda with Bouquet which I colored with copics.  The I added fun flock to her flowers.  I'm not overly crazy with how they came out, I think I may add more glue and flock and see what happens.  I also used fall grass, which I think the flock looks a lot better on, oh well!

The papers are from SEI and have a hint of shimmer and glitter to them.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  I also added some stickles to Melinda's wings.

Happy Shower for twins!

Afternoon everyone!  Hope you are enjoying a lovely summer day!  I've been trying to finish this card all day it seems!  Lots of little interruption.  But I think it's finally finished! 

A friend of mine is having twins in September.  Her shower is next weekend and I was in charge of the card.  I really wanted to use super cute jelly bean from Whimsy Stamps, but didn't want a super cutsey card,so it was a bit of a struggle!  I stamped jelly bean twice once with pink feet and once with blue.  I then paired them with cappella papers from Basic grey.
I added lots of goodies to this one.  There's stitching, distressing, pearls, primas, wild orchids, ribbon, branches, and little feet charms.
The sentiments are also from Whimsy stamps.  I just love these tickets!  And I did two of them one for each of the babies!

Whimsy Digi Release Hop!

Welcome to the next stop of the Whimsy digi hop!!!!  You should be arriving here from the Whimsy Inspiration blog, if not head back there to start from the tippity top!

Today I created a card that uses just a sentiment!!!  Really strange for me as I LOVE my copics, but I saw this NEW sentiment set from Ann Vento and knew I had to use it.  I distressed the edges and added some really rough stitching as my sewing machine was not cooperating!  The papers are from SU and the flowers are wild orchids.  I also added some black pearls and twill tape.  That's really about it for this one!

Time to hop along and see all the fabby new images!!!  Your next stop is the lovely Melissa, be sure to leave comments all along the way for you chance at a fantastic prize pack!!  Denise will randomly choose 2 DT members to choose a winner from their comments!!  The winners can then choose a Digi of their choice.  There will also be a grand prize of 5 digi images of the winners choice which will come from the last stop on the hop.
