Bye Bye Flutter By!

***This is my 2nd post today...please scroll down for Sketchbook Wednesday by The Digi Shack!***

Good morning again everyone and Happy Hump Day!  It's time for Flutter By Wednesday...a sad one for me, but it was time to give the other ladies their time on the team.  Today is my last post as a Design Team member for Flutter By Wednesday.  I've been along for the ride watching this challenge grow week by week for over a year now.  Danni has been the best leader and working with all the girls has been a real joy.  Thank you all for your awesome comments and your friendships.  I do hope that you'll continue to come by to see me.

Okay, now on to my card.  This week is an open week, so all you need to do is use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.  I used this awesome glitter paper from BoBunny, Martha Stewart punch and the sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You.

Be sure to check out the rest of the creations by the design team...links on my sidebar.  Stop by the Flutter By Wednesday blog to see the beautiful new look too!  :O)

Love You, Grandpa...

Hello folks!  Happy Saturday!  It's been dreary and raining all day today, but I did get some errands done and made a couple of cards.  Woot!  Check out the link above...I have some CTMH acrylic stamp sets for sale.  :O)

The card I'm showing this evening was made with Grandpa Bear from Wink Wink Ink.  He's a real sweetie.  I don't get to see my Grandpa very often, so I thought he'd enjoy a card...what better card than one that showcases this sweetie (there is also a Grandma Bear)?  My Grandpa is the best and I love him to pieces!  I totally screwed up the coloring job on this one.  I went to get rid of some gray from around his head since I got a little crazy...what happened?  The damn Copic blender spat a huge blob right on his left jawline and spread out from there.  GAH!!!  Seriously?  I think I did a pretty good job of fixing it though.  I wasn't about to start over!  I also used the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You...they always have awesome sketches!  Yeehaw!

Be sure to check out the Wink Wink Ink Shop...Melanie has AWESOME digis for you!  :O)  Don't forget your FREEBIE image either!  It's only for a limited time!
