Dottie's World-Butterflies

Hello and Happy Easter Sunday!

We are off to church this morning to celebrate the resurrection of Christ-rejoice!

And then out for brunch and then off to Nana and Opa's for an Easter Egg Hunt. I'm looking forward to all the children getting dolled up in their Sunday best outfits. Time for pictures and celebrating. :o)

What do you do on Easter Sunday?

Well it's also my turn to host the Dottie's World Challenge for this week. I decided to do something Spring like and ask for 3d butterfly embellishments. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

I made my butterflies using the new SU! embossed sizzlit....love it! So very pretty.

The Charmed Download I used is from the latest collection called Sugar and Spice-you can get it HERE

I used my new CratePaper again....I just love this paper! I promise I'll set it aside for the next few cards I make.....I just can't help it-I love it that much!

Ribbon is My Mind's Eye and the brads are CratePaper.

I think thats pretty much it.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a Happy Easter!

Truly Scrumptious Challenge # 29-Fly Away

Hello and Happy Wednesday! Wow.....it's almost Easter already? Time is sure flying by. :o)

This week we have a fabby sketch for the Truly Scrumptious challenge, and we also have the added, optional challenge of adding the theme "fly away"

So here is the sketch:

I used a super cute Tilda holding a bee image...I got her from The Magnolia-licious Store...and I just LOVE her! I colored her in with my copics. copics I used for her clothes are here:(r81/83/85; bg11/32/34; e40/41/42/43/44)

The paper is CratePaper:Paper Dolls, and so are the brads and stickers.

The butterflies are Martha Stewart.

The sentiment are Close To My Heart: Card Chatter.

I also used some doodlebug chunky glitter on the bee's wings.

I think that's about it!

Have a fabby day!

Dottie's World-Handmade Flowers

Hello and Happy Sunday... once again. I missed the last couple of Dottie's World challenges because I was in Oklahoma with my sister, and just couldn't pull it together to get my cards done before I left. No matter how organized I try to get, I always feel DiSOrgaNized! :o)

Anyways, this week at Dottie's World Adele is hosting the challenge. This is what she asked for:

"Hi everyone, Adele here and it's my turn to set the challenge this week. With spring (hopefully) in the air I want you to think:
Paper Roses...............
or daffs, or tulips....you get the picture? BUT I don't want to see any pre-made flowers please - only die cuts, punched flowers or any flower/s you have made from scratch on your creations this week please. The only other limitation is that a Charmed Download MUST be used....but that is no limitation at all is it, there is so much to choose from! LOL
Don't forget the blog candy over on my own blog too.....it could be you who wins yourself a freebie Charmed Download of your choice!
Looking forward to seeing all your bloomers!!!!!!"

I made my flower by using the Sizzix Layered Flowers Die. I just cut it a couple of times with different papers and then crumpled up the flowers so they would have some dimension.

LOVED this challenge-so much fun!

I also love Digi-images. :o) I love being able to make the images any size I wish. The possibilities become endless. For this card I used Madison In France and you can get her HERE

I cropped her and made her bigger than usual and I just love the result!

I colored her in with my copics (bg11/bg32/bg34 gy03/gy13 and my pink favorites: r81/r83/r85)

I also used my glue pen to add some White Prisma Glitter to her French Tam.
The paper is BRAND SPANKIN' NEW! It's Crate Paper: Paper Doll Collection and it is adorable. It comes in a kit that includes lots of double sided matching paper and two sheets of coordinating stickers! LOVE it!

The sentiment "love you much" is SU! and you can get it HERE

I free handed the "babe" hate my hand writing, but was too lazy to get my alphabet stamps out!

I think that's about all for now.

The weather is starting to get nice and the green grass is slowly started to peak through...aaahhhhh spring at last! :o)

By for now!
