May this bee

Hi!

Today's card was made for the Can You Digi It? Challenge #35 - Birthday Flowers.



Stamps: Betty Edwards' Busy Bee for C.Y.D.I., Langley Boy Designs Gettin' Buggy With It!
Ink: CTMH Pacifica, Copic R35 Coral, YG11 Mignonette, Sharpies, Tombow ABT
Accessories: CTMH Round Sponge

That's why my little bee is off to pick just the right flowers and wants to wish Mynnette, she's the Guest Design Team member for C.Y.D.I. a very happy birthday!

If you have time we'd love to have you join us.

Just an FYI for the picture itself I used the sponging technique. I felt it needed a touch more color.

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

Butterfly birthday

Hi!

Today marks a new challenge over at the Can You Digi It? blog.

Our challenge this time is Challenge #33 - Butterflies.

I just love butterflies, they're so beautiful and whimsical.

That's what my project was going for this time.

Stamps: Delightfully Distressing Designs’ Butterfly Bliss stamps (for C.Y.D.I.?), CTMH Joyful Birthday
Ink: StazOn Jet Black
Accessories: Hemptique Bakers Twine, MS Monarch Butterfly, 3-in-1 Butterfly

For the major butterfly I used the  Delightfully Distressing Designs’ Butterfly Bliss stamps.

The smaller butterflies were created with some Martha Stewart punches.

And the sentiment stamp is from Close to My Heart, it's
called Joyful Birthday Occassions.

If you've got a digi stamp whether it's a butterfly or just a sentiment
and you use butterfly punches. We'd love to have you play along
with us in this fun challenge.

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

Sorry it's been soooooooooooooo long

Hi!

Sorry it's been a loooooooooooooong time since I posted.

Well, I will post a new card later today.

But for now, I've got 2 cards from the past that are making an appearance because I'm sending my nephews birthday presents today.


This one I'm going to give to my nephew who will be 13 this year. I thought
he would enjoy it. Even if he is at a stage where homemade presents just aren't something he's in to.

After all doesn't every teenage boy want a pic of a hot chic in his locker?


And this one is for my other nephew who just turned 2. I figured something colorful and bright. Plus, who can resist this DRS stamp it's just to stinkin' cute.

I won't show you the presents since I want that to be a surprise for my nephews.

But let me say it is not easy to go shopping for 2 boys with such a vast age difference. Especially, since I've never had to think about boys toys at either age
and my dh is a GEEK and proud of it since the 80's.

Happy Crafting.
