Don't forget that Sugar Creek Hollow is having their Grand Opening tomorrow!! Free digis tomorrow for every $10 purchased, and the $50 gift certificate is still up for grabs! The above digital stamps could be yours!! 
Welcome to the first ever challenge from Sugar Creek Hollow! It is a wonderful sketch that we were given to follow, and I had a lot of fun with it because it holds so many possibilities! I actually used the Friday Freebie from last week that Tracy so graciously gives away on the Sugar Creek Hollow website. 
You don't want to miss Monday, March 1st at Sugar Creek Hollow! There are major freebies with your order--a free digi with every $10 you order. And, this is the most amazing thing about the Grand Opening--
Just a quick note to let you know that the Grand Opening of Sugar Creek Hollow is coming on March 1st, and there are some amazing surprises and a blog hop coming that day!! The images in my card are both from Sugar Creek Hollow, which is a faith-based digital stamp company that specializes in vintage and primitive images. They are a lot of fun to work with, and I've been able to tap into another side of my creativity. 
Thank you all so much for participating in last week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge...we had such awesome entries to win the wonderful prize from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design!! It was so fun to visit blogs!! 
Happy Monday! Happy Monday! Happy monday! happy monday. Who am I kidding? It's Monday; it's cold; it's raining. There is a reason that there is a song titled, "Rainy Days and Mondays." It was especially bittersweet because we had a beautiful day yesterday (high in the upper 60s), and we were outside for much of the day. 
It's a beautiful day here in Charlotte, North Carolina! There is actually sunshine, and it isn't freezing. Even better, I have some new stamps to play with, and I have been having fun with these little cuties! This adorable set of clear stamps is called Fairy Tots by Clear Magic Stamps for WoodwareUSA. Peggy, who owns a local stamp/scrapbook store, had this little set the other night, and I snagged it! I didn't even hesitate! The crazy thing is...the address for Woodware USA is in Charlotte, NC. How did I not know about these little cuties? Luckily, Peggy is going to carry them in her store, Southern Scrapbooks, so I can feed my latest addiction.
Card Details:
Happy Friday everyone! Today, I have a wonderful image from Sugar Creek Hollow. In case you don't know, they are a wonderful faith-based digital stamp company that specializes in vintage and primitive images. The above image is a real beauty and fun to color also!! I got a little creative with matting it! Every Friday I will be featuring a card made with one of their images! A perk for you...if you go to the site, there is a sidebar that has Freebies...there will be a new freebie every Friday. Snag it and look around at all of the other wonderful images that Tracy has for you! This week's freebie is gorgeous!! I can't wait to play with it!
Good morning, Flutter By Wednesday fans!! I'm sorry about my "later" post this morning! Last night was almost a joke because I was so tired. My late nights start to catch up with me! Today, we have a special day at FBW!! We have a sponsor this week!! Woohoo!! So, you know what that means...you can win a fabulous prize!!
You can have one of these free cuties!! Just go to InStyle Stamps for the details!! Aren't they adorable?? Check it out!!
Hello!! Did everyone survive Valentine's Day? I honestly didn't leave the house from Friday afternoon to Monday morning! Ah, bliss!! I love a lazy, pajama weekend!! We just had a wonderful time hanging out...the three of us! 
My card is also for two challenges:
Color Throwdown #79 - Sage Shadow, Blush Blossom and Riding Hood Red
Mercy's Sketch Challenge (MTSC60) - a sketch
Card Details: 
Well, the answer is, A LOT!! If you add some determination and a whole lot of free time!! There is never enough of the latter, but I have quite a bit of the former!! This is a set from Stampin' Up that used to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it has felt like Woody from Toy Story and Jessie from Toy Story 2 (just start singing, "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 and we can all weep!).
Today is Meredith's Valentine's Day party for school, and she is so excited to share her cards with her class. We made this card x2 for her preschool teachers. She decorated the inside, complete with scenes where her one teacher is a fairy under a mushroom. I'm telling you, this kid has an active imagination!! 
Happy, happy Wednesday everyone!! Are we really 10 days into the month of February already? Where on earth does the time go? It is Wednesday, and it is definitely Flutter By time here! We are just blown away by all of the response on our new home! We had well over 100 entries for last week's challenge...can you believe it? Well, I can! Who doesn't love butterflies, fairies and angels? This week's challenge is use your butterfly, fairy or angel to convey love. That's it...a simple theme of love this week, but don't forget the butterfly, fairy or angel! That's the essential part. I just love this time of year and the ability to make so many Valentine's Day cards...the colors must speak to me! Link up your card HERE so that we may come and admire your craftsmanship.
Just a little quick post today!! This is a wonderful line of paper from My Mind's Eye called Be Loved. I made these samples for our local stamp and scrapbooking store in Fort Mill, SC, Southern Scrapbooks. Peggy is the owner, and she has some awesome paper packs, plus she has Copic Ciaos and a refilling staion for the Copic markers. 
This is a sample scrapbook page that I made using my little sweetheart, Meredith! These paper kits are awesome, and they are very versatile and economical! 
Well, can I just say that I struggled with this one? I was going for the look of a room, but it seems like it needs more. BUT, I didn't want to gunk it up too much and lose the effect. Did that make sense? I used the paper, quote, and chipboard frame from the Cosmo Cricket deal at Tuesday Morning...yes, I was able to snag one. Who wouldn't want over 9000 pieces of stuff for $14.99??? 
I guess that I have been rediscovering my Magnolia stamps this week! These were images that I received from someone...not sure who, and I finally put the copics to the paper and came up with the card. The image and the background are so detailed that I didn't want too much detail in the card to distract from it. I did have to dust off the Exacto knife to get into the tiny little curves. The Tilda and Edwin image was separate, and I cut it out and popped it up on the Park image. I think that I was intimidated by these two images at first, but it was fun once I started! 
I don't know about you, but chocolate is my best friend and my worst enemy at times. However, I love it nonetheless. If I receive a box of chocolates, I have to scope out the caramel ones first. The last ones to be eaten are the cordial cherry ones...YUCK!! In fact, they will get eaten by someone else!
Happy Friday...it is raining a miserable rain here. I feel like we are going to float away! I did some cleaning on my craft room, but it is by no means great. I get sidetracked and start working on a project, but the good news is...I cleaned up after the project. Baby steps!!
Happy, happy Wednesday, Flutter By fans!! It is February, can you believe it? Meredith and I went to Myrtle Beach this past weekend, and the only supplies that I took with us were images and Copic markers. Meredith had a ball using my Copic markers to color images (the ones that I would let her have!!) I was able to finally color this little cutie. Way back over the summer, Cristy Croll designed this stamp especially for Danni and her Flutter By Wednesday challenge. I can't believe that it took me this long to use it! It's a sassy image, and I knew that denim and pink would have to finish it off!
Just a little quick card to share today!! It is cold, rainy and basically miserable here, so I'm longing for spring. I thought this card might cheer me up! Well, it is bright and cheerful, but I am still buried under 3 layers of clothing. Alas, spring will be here soon enough, and I'm sure that we will start complaining about the hot weather...there is no winning! 
These are two images that can be found in the new release at the Rusty Pickle Digital Delights! Many flowers and flourishes will be available!! Working with these new images gave me the opportunity to be able to use some really awesome papers that were gathering dust! And, I even consulted my big book of flowers for ideas on how to color them. Now, I'm longing even more for spring!
We hope you enjoy these sneak peeks for the next three days from the Rusty Pickle! Please visit my team mates blogs for other creations using this brand new release!
