I am proud to announce the debut of fabulous digital stamps from Michelle at Rusty Pickle Digis!!! From someone who loves to color, I was really excited to be asked to join this design team because the images are just begging to be colored!! This venture also marks my jump into digital stamps...I finally conquered my fear and went for it! I'm so glad that I did...there really is a certain amount of freedom in them. I hope that you will visit the site and peruse the ever growing catalog of digital stamps!

Today's debut marks the first release from Rusty Pickle, but there are many other images to choose from that will appeal to many different styles!

Wow, two days in a row...I think that my mojo is back!! I made this last night because I was up at an insane hour of the night. I started watching a movie, The Reader, and I had to finish it through to the end. Note to self: don't start watching a movie at 11:00 pm!! I finally was able to play along with the Copic Color Challenge, and this one is for #17. The colors were RV11 (pink), BV04 (blue berry), and Y23 (yellowish beige). I didn't have the last one, but I substituted something as close as I could. Her tights came out a little mottled because I wanted to lighten the BV04, so I used the blender pen all over, then I went back and touched up with the BV04 again. I'm still learning, but everything up till now is self-taught. I can't wait for the Copic certification class at the end of the month!!

I love the paper that I used in this card...Poppyfinch by Memory Box. It was perfect, and it set an outdoor scene for me!

"Just living is not enough..."

said the butterfly. "One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." This is a quote from Hans Christian Anderson, and it is a sentiment from DRS Designs. I love a good quote, and this of course struck my fancy because of its beautiful reference (and reverence) to butterflies.

A close up of the inside section with the quote.

And, a closeup of the Shimmerz on the small butterfly die cut from Quickutz. I think I've gone butterfly crazy in my shopping!! How could I possibly pass up this little gem? I use Royal Purple Shimmerz to give it that extra "Shazam"!

This week's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge was to use brads or eyelets in some way on your card. So, bust out those babies and get to work! Don't forget the butterflies and/or fairies in your card, and we would all love to see your creations, so link them up on Danni's blog!! Our featured team member this week is Harriet Skelly, and she has some amazing creations in her SCS gallery...visit and leave her some love! We also bid a short adieu to our team members Ashley and Heather. They are taking a short hiatus: Ashley is expecting very soon, and Heather has many family obligations. They are both such creative, wonderful stampers, but we are excited for the changes in their lives!

Finally, this card was also created for TLC221 on SCS which was to make a Tri-shutter card, and I have had so much fun creating this style of card!!
