Flutter By, Butterfly

Lori chose the butterfly from Once Upon A Princess for the challenge at BBTB2 this week. I don't have that cartridge, so I used the butterfly from Wall Decor and More. I decided to take a minimalist approach with my card, and I really like how it came out. Come join us for the challenge this week. There are plenty of cartridges with butterflies that you can use.

An interesting challenge!

My DT sister, Krista, picked the challenge at BBTB2 this week. She chose the armadillo or the bird from the Birthday Bash cartridge. I went with the armadillo because it's not that often you use an armadillo in scrapbooking! Isn't she a charmer?

Trash to treasure

I have been hanging on to this candy tin since February of 2008, thinking one day I would do something with it.


Well, Imaginisce is having a challenge this month to give an old item new life. I used the Sweet Cheri line to jazz up this little box. I think I'm going to use it this Valentine's Day and fill it with a "little sugar" for someone special.

Think Spring!

After a two week break, the designers at BBTB2 are back with a new challenge for you. This week was my week to host, so I chose the hummingbird from Lyrical Letters. I love seeing the hummingbirds return to our feeders in the spring. Come join us for the challenge and show us what you create!

Season's Greetings!

The DT at BBTB2 used the wreath cut from Joys of the Season this week. I decided to go very traditional with my card. Come join us for the weekly challenge, you can use any wreath from any cartridge.

Ribbon and Jewels - Doodlebug

Our Teacher Gifts

I decided to make all three teacher gifts this year, since I had a little extra time. I bought bead boxes and filled the compartments with teacher necessities. (and yes, chocolate is a necessity).
Then I decorated the tops with the teacher's name. Now I just need to get them wrapped so I don't hear that chocolate calling my name.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The DT at BBTB2 used the Santa cut from Winter Frolic this week. Here he is with five of his reindeer!
Come join the challenge this week. You can use any Santa from any cartridge. We love to see your creations.
