Butterfly Gifts

Happy Tuesday friends.  I'm going to try to make this post pretty quick since Clara is chomping at the bit to go outside.  I've been going through all my stuff that I've bought to alter and came up with a couple of gifts.  I'm trying to get a jump on Christmas and birthdays.

My projects fit all of these challenges: Crafty Creations #81 Butterflies, Fab 'n' Funky #36 Flower Power, little red wagon #42 altered item, Simon Says Challenge make a gift, Crafty Catz #46 Buttons and butterflies, One Stop Craft Challenge ##94 not a card

Here is a couple of views of the mug.  I really like how this turned out considering I only paid less than a dollar for the mug.  Now I'm on the hunt to find some more.  I wonder if the $store has any that are similar?

Don't you just love the post-it notes on this?  I think I got it from the Target $Spot last summer.  I wish I had more of them.

Ingredients:

Paper: DCWV-Blossoms & Butterflies

Embellishments: Prima-Flowers, irock-rhinestones, Target $Spot-ribbon, making memories-button

Tools: Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly Punch, Tulip heat setter

Other: coffee mug, photo frame, post-it pad

Have a fab day everyone!

My take on Papertake Weekly

Woo hooo its Sunday and that means Anthony has the next two days off!!!  I hope all of you have had a fantastic weekend!  I'm on a mission to totally wear the girls out today so that they sleep well tonight because tomorrow we are off to Columbus to the Ohio State fair.  I'm super excited.  I love the fair and it makes up for missing the annual Watermelon Festival in my home town Knox City, Texas (which may be the last one ever!). Yummm I miss those Texas seedless watermelons!!

I just love this image by CC Designs!  I think I'm finally getting the hang of coloring hair.  I'm not great but its getting easier!

You are the best!

Just a simple little card using The Greeting Farms Stella.  Isn't she just the cutest ever.  I'm kind of stuck on these colors though.  Mostly because they are on my desk at the moment.  All the CS is PTI.  The sentiment is from a Studio G set.  The buttons are Fancy pants and I got the cute flowers from the $1 Spot at Target.  I followed The Sweet Stop sketch #54.  I'm also entering it into the Fab 'n' Funky Challege no DP.

Glee tonight!!  I'm looking forward to hanging out with my Hubby and watching it.  He doesn't actually watch it but since his computer is and the TV are in the same room I think of it as hanging out.

Everyone have a Glee-tastic Tuesday!

Birthday card for my Favortie Little Guy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WESTIN!!

My friend's little boy Westin will be two tomorrow!!  This is the card I put together for him.  I love all the bright colors!!  The PP is from a set that I got from Oriental Trading a couple of years ago.  I unearth it last weekend when I was cleaning up my room.  The image mats are from my scrap stash.  I used three different images for this one.  The main image is Bigsby from Karen Doodles.  Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?  The cupcake is a Imaginisce.  The sentiment is another perfectly clear stamp by Stampendous.  I stamped it on three different colors and paper pieced it together.  I thought that it was perfect since he is turning 2.  I printed my image on PTI white cardstock and colored them with my Triart markers.  I think I might actually be getting the hang of them.  A big *muah* to Rachel for helping me get started with them and to my Hubby for indulging me when I wanted to expand my collection!!
