FBW167 Break out those dies and punches!

It's a wonderful Wednesday at Flutter By Wednesday this week because we get to use my favorite things -- dies and punches! I don't know what I would do without all of them. In fact, I wish I had invented the concept! If you would like to join us this week, please visit HERE and don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation!

This little cutie is from an Angel Company set by Mabelle RO called "He Created Spring". She is just so talented, and of course, I have to have some rubber designed by Mabelle in addition to the wonderful digis that you can purchase from Whimsy and Stars Studio! If you haven't discovered Mabelle, what are you waiting for?

Hello my fellow butterfly lovers!! I have a new stamp and new papers to share with you today!! I have this awesome set from my most favorite Flutterbyer -- Danni! The set is from The Angel Company, and it is just precious! The papers are ones that I bought at the beach this weekend by Prima, and they are darling!! They are really muted, so I had to insert some pink to jazz it up a bit!

Happiness Is...a Butterfly!

You know by now how much I love butterflies, but I really love this image from The Angel Company! The set is called Happiness Is. I adore the way it is drawn, and the little girl just seems so free and unfettered, basking in happiness. I can almost feel the sun and the warm breeze, and spring really is almost within our grasp. Well, almost is the operative word, but a girl can dream!

I have made this card today for a design team call at the Digi Design House. If you would like the details, please visit this LINK for more information. Digi Design House is and extension of their parent company, The Angel Company. They are forging into the digital world, and I am very excited by this. I can't wait to see what they come up in the ever-expanding world of digital stamps! I love their versatility and convenience, whether it be changing the size or orientation or simply being able to store them very efficiently on my computer.

Next week, I'm going to attempt to do one of my first tutorials...it will be aptly called Digis for Dummies. I'm sure it isn't a new concept, but I know that quite a few of my online friends are timid about trying them. So, stay tuned!

I even did the inside of the card, and I love this butterfly paper! It's delish! Thanks for stopping by today...I'll see you tomorrow for a fun announcement!
