This week at Paper Pretties we are busting out the flowers -- spring can't come any sooner! If you would like to join us this week, please visit HERE for more details and to upload your card! 
Just another Manic Monday, and I'm raring to go!! Crazy, busy week ahead, but I have some fun cards to slow the pace a bit! Today, we have a sketch from Woodware USA, and it is a fun shaped card!! If you would like to adapt and attach the circular shape to a square card, that would be just fine! Upload your cards HERE and play along with us this week!
I realize that I didn't use sunflowers in my card, but that is the beauty of an inspiration photo...you take whatever you want from it and use it as a jumping off point. Plus, I didn't have any sunflowers!! 
Today is our last Tuesday with our sponsor Kenny K, and I have this little lovely to show you! She is appropriately named Madison Attitude, and she is super fun! Our challenge this week at Party Time Tuesdays is ANYTHING GOES, so get your party on and hop on over HERE to enter! 
Happy Wednesday, Flutter By fans!! I hope your days are a little calmer than mine lately! Why does everything seem to happen in May? Funny! Our challenge this week is a sketch by our favorite girl, Carly! Don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy and/or angel on your card! We would love to have you join us, so upload your challenge card HERE! 
We are hopping today to say "Happy Birthday" to Janet!! It is her birthday today, and it just happens to fall on Mother's Day, too! I have a May birthday, and I often have had to share my day with Mother's Day! Not such a bad thing! We hope you have a wonderful day, Janet! I tried to find some heavy metal lyrics to include in my post, but I just couldn't find the right ones for you! I hope your day is happy! 
Well, finally, I have a new computer, and today is my first post using it!! Can I tell you that limbo really isn't fun! I've been without a computer for over a week, and I salvaged some of my things on it, but not all! Luckily, a lot of my digital images were backed up on either my external hard drive or stored in my email account. Thank goodness for that! However, I wasn't able to print out any of my digital images for over a week. A lot of catching up to do for me!! Anyway...
April Showers hopefully bring May flowers because we've had one heck of a ride here! Last week we had a wind storm that knocked down two trees, and a hail storm 5 days later that brought golf ball (even some tennis ball) size hail. And, there was torrential rain last night. What is going on? Well, I hope the May flowers are as vibrant as the ones on my card today! They will brighten any day, don't you think? 
I have used the above sketch for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #112. It's a beauty, so check it out!

Hello Party People!! It’s time for another challenge at Party Time Tuesdays. We are so excited by the number of participants that we have had lately!! And, there have been some amazing creations!!
It's a Tuesday, ladies, and I have my first card for you for the new challenge blog, Party Time Tuesdays. We have so many wonderful challenges coming your way, but this week is an easy one to start us off right!! It is an Anything Goes card, but don't forget...it has to be a BIRTHDAY CARD with a birthday-like sentiment on the front. What a great way to build up your stash! I know that some months I am completely scrambling to find a card for someone. Please upload your creations HERE, so that we may come and marvel at your creativity! 
I would love for you to visit my fellow team members' blogs to see all of their wonderful creations: 
A little pomp and circumstance for you today! Today is Fabulous Friday at Sugar Creek Hollow, and there is a glorious freebie today!! My Flutter By team mates and fans will love it! Check it out HERE. Our challenge this week was to create a recessed window card for you today, and I always love black, white and red. I was able to dust off come brads and neglected prima flowers!!
Happy Wednesday, Flutter By fans!! It's been a wild week here...lots going on (planting, weeding, and family visiting!) Not a lot of computer and crafting time, but I'm coping! Today is an open challenge for Flutter By Wednesday...just need to include a new card/project that uses a butterfly, fairy, or angel. I would love for you to show us your creation, so upload it HERE. Also, my team mates have worked hard on their creations this week, so check out their links on my sidebar...you will be amazed at their creativity!

It's Fabulous Friday from Sugar Creek Hollow. You won't want to miss the precious freebie on the site today!! It's a cute one...I can't wait to play with it! My card today is using some wonderful paper from Cosmo Cricket that I picked up, and it really reminds me of the aged look of the door! I distressed the edges of the image, and I colored with Copic markers, and, gasp, I hand cut the image out!! You can't get a curve like that with anything else!! I also put this verse from Sugar Creek Hollow on the inside of the card:

We made it to the second round, and we are using my easel card!! Please vote for us if you can!! 
Today is the day!! Flutter By Wednesday turns 100!! Can you believe it? It is amazing all of the countless creations that have been made and inspired by Flutter By Wednesdays! I'm so honored to be part of a team of amazing women who absolutely blow me away each week with their creativity. Danni, our fearless leader has to be one of the most thoughtful and kind people I know, and Wednesday is my favorite day because of her! 
We all chose to use a wonderful template from Brenda Quintana (QBee's Butterfly Large Box Template) that was suggested by our fabulous teammate Karen Wilson. We have been secretly corresponding without Danni's knowledge, so we hope this will surprise her!! 
Happy Tuesday everyone!! I didn't post yesterday, but the final tally of cards on Sunday was 7 and a half. How do you get a half? Well, I have the image and the papers picked out and not completed! I did today's card on Sunday, and I actually finished my Sneak Peek cards for the Rusty Pickle Digital Delights release...you're going to be excited! I can't wait to show them to you! You will have to check back next week!!

Happy Thursday evening, y'all!! Methinks you have been seeing a lot of me lately! I guess that my crafty side has been rejuvenated. I can't seem to tear myself away from the craft room, and I have been doing challenges like a crazy woman. They really do tap into things in both my brain and my craft room that I forgot were there!! 
I actually used a paper pack that I had picked up at Tuesday Morning to do this sketch! Sometimes, I just love those huge packs with all of the coordinating papers, and they seemed to complement the Copics that I used. The best part was that it was a smokin' deal!! That is even better. However, my craft room seems to be filled with smokin' deals...they add up after a while (bows head in shame).

Hello, Flutter By Wednesday fans!! We were absolutely blown away by the response to our move last week!! I had such a good time visiting all of the blogs that participated. Can I just say, "WOW"!! It always amazes me how much talent we have out there!! Today is Flutter By Wednesday #92...how did we get all the way to 92? Our love of all things fluttering really makes it easy! This week, our challenge is an open one...just don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy, or angel on your card. Wouldn't it be a challenge to include all three on one? Anyway, I digress! 
Don't you want to know what this lovely butterfly is doing here? It sure is pretty (or purty, depending on where y'all are from)!! Well, in order to find out, you have to go to the Flutter By Wednesday blog to find out. While you are there, read carefully and upload your creation if you have one! Believe me, it is well worth your while!! 
Hey all you beautiful Flutter By babes, it's time to come out and play this week!! Today's challenge is an open one, and you just have to use a butterfly or fairy on your card and link it up HERE, so that we can all stop by and admire your art! I used this adorable image that I received from a Magnolia friend, and I had to dust off the Nestabilities (Labels Six). I just rotated the pattern to give a little interest, but then that bumped the card up to a 5.5x5.5 size! I've got a crazy day today with appointments and classes, but I did get this posted!! YAY!! Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
