Summer Fairy

Hi everyone! I have been "shipwrecked" on Paper Craft Island, completing projects in an attempt to be the "Sole Survivor".  Sadly I did not win the title but we were all considered winners because the vote was so close.  This is one of my projects submitted in the finals. 

You can find this Digi at Simply Betty Stamps.  She is our image for the Fan challenge on facebook.  If you would like to join us in these challenges and lots of other stamping fun just join her group.  It is pretty easy to follow along and join in.  Hope to see you there!
Big Hugs!

Spring Basket Swap ~Simply Betty's Fan Group

Hi everyone!  The snow has melted ...for now,  but they are calling for more this weekend.  We are all trying to soak up as much sun as possible here. On a VERY sunny note today is the BLOG HOP for all of us that participated in the Spring Basket Swap.  You should have arrived here from Erin's Blog if not Betty's is the starting point.  My Swap buddy was Darcy Schroeder.  We were on the same wave of thinking because we both left our cards blank so the other person could use it again.

Her card with the Betty image is so pretty I may just keep it for myself.  My daughter has been wild about the Jelly Beans and I have to say nothing fixes a bad day better than GODIVA chocolates!  Yep that egg on the left side of your screen has them in it. YUMMY! The bag is right up my alley, so is the box, the stamp and all the BEACHY Jolies! Thanks You so much Darcy I LOVED EVERTHING!!!! HaPpY dAnCe.  From here you are off to Katya's Blog.

Simply Betty Fan Challenge ~ March

This is the card I made using the FREE image from Simply Betty's Fan Group on Facebook.  We were only to use Creme, Black and one other color of our choice.  Skin tones were also allowed.  There is a new Free Digi for us to use this month, but you will have to go to the Fan Page and request it for yourself.  There is a great group of ladies that have already joined this group plus we have alot of laughs.  Hope to see you there.
Big Hugs!

You should have come here from Trudie's Blog if not make sure to check HERE for a complete list.  Here's a couple pictures of the goodies my Valentine Bucket Swap buddy, Jackie R, sent me.  She decorated the cutest little mailbox with the Rio image that we got.  The brown box with the letter H is a little piece of heaven!!  Hazel Hill Chocolate Traditions is now a new love for my whole family!  My Husband is in favor of me doing more swaps now ~ so Thank You for that Jackie!

First Steampunk Card

This was my very first Steampunk Card.  This card and the supplies to make it can be found at Let's Create in Wisconsin Rapids.  The image is from Stampendous, embossing folder is Tim Holtz and punch is EK Large Scroll.  I used the metallic rub paints in silver over the embossed clocks on black cardstock.  Hope you like her.
Inky Hugs!
