Sweet Heritage Tree

Hello bloggers!  And helllloooo weekend!!  Had such a fun night tonight with my nieces (5 & 9 years old).  They crack me right up... magic show and all. 

Well I had a little Stamping Bella action earlier this afternoon and coloured up this sweet Heritage Tree by Lulu.  So much you can do with this!  When I initially started with the tiny butterflies I carefully placed them where I wanted them and then decided to turn on the little desk fan.  And big surprise... the butterflies took flight.  (Blonde move!)

SUPPLIES USED:


Stamps:
Stamping Bella Heritage Tree by Lulu


Paper:
Bella's Bestest paper, Pebbles "Happy Go Lucky", SU Close to Cocoa

Dies:
Memory Box... butterfly delights
MFT... fence
Spellbinders... circle

Copics:
E50, E51, E53, E55, E57

 Isn't this sweet little tree great?  You can do so much with it... tiny pearls or flowers... and glitter is definitely going on the next card (with aforementioned fan OFF).  lol



Just want to say a big THANK YOU to you for your comments & encouragement!  I'm having a Bella Blast and I really appreciate all your kind words.  I'm off to bed for now... with big plans for sleeping in.  ZZZzzzzzzzz...

'Till next time,
Carla.

A Hundred Hearts

Hello All!  I finally got up the nerve to try digi paper.  I have hoards of DP, but thought if I could find some on-line for free I would give it a try.  I found this beautiful pink damask design at http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.com/ and used it in a card today.  I printed it on SU Whisper White and it printed beautifully. 

With a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, I had some left over for the inside:

I used the Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Square & Nested Hearts die cuts.  The rolled roses & inside border die are from MFT. Sentiment is also from MFT. 

I like how it turned out actually... it might make a nice Valentine Card.

My Favorite Things @ Christmas

A friend (and awesome medic) in Afghanistan asked that I make her a few cards that she could send in the mail over Christmas. Well Carly - I thought you might like this one for your hubby so there this & 3 others on their way to you tomorrow... hope you will like them.

I love this image by My Favorite Things - it's just the cutest ever!! And there's so much you can do with it - from paper piecing to copics to the decorations on the tree - you can get a different look every time.

Totally Cool Tilda

Ever find that sometimes a card will just come together based on what's sitting on your desk (aka "mess")? So here's my desk: I recently had an MFT order arrive... I refuse to put away my Fleur de Lis pendant... and I was cleaning out my "3-D sticker drawer". Long story short is these little sticker sunglass, which I've had for years, were just the right fit for Tilda... kinda takes her from "sweet" to "gangsta" in one stick - LOL!! My MFT order that was sitting on my desk contained the set And Then I Said with all the fun teenager sentiments. I just couldn't resist.

Well I've been MIA due to a combination of work and feeling under the weather... so it was nice to be able to get a little crafty tonight.
