Happy Sunday!  Today's challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is "How Charming!"  Feel free to add your favorite charm or metal embellishment to your creation.  Lacey from Stamp and Create is graciously sponsoring the challenge with a $20 gift certificate to her fabulous store!  My best friend's children are getting ready to head off to provincials in swimming in a few short weeks, so to celebrate I used Water Babe to create a "You Go Girl!" card for her daughter:

I have followed the sketch from Cute Card Thursday using Bo Bunny paper from their Sun Kissed collection.  The origin of the fish charm is unknown as I believe I "fished" it off something that was being discarded.

The flowers are from Prima and I've used my sewing machine to add some crazy stitching around the edge of the card.

A Natural Woman

Happy Sunday!  The challenge theme this week at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is "A Natural Woman".  I required a bit more of an explanation from Christine who described it as such - woman plus nature.  Nature could be flowers, leaves, animals - anything really! 

I pulled out Imaginisce Winter Woods paper from the Cottage Christmas line for inspiration.  I love the pink, muted blue, brown, green and not quite red colours in the paper.  For the image, the design team was lucky to have a chance to play with the latest fairy release from Wags 'n Whiskers, so I chose Rhiannon :

Originally I was going to use Stampin' Up! Dazzling Diamonds on her wings, yet somehow ended up using Stickles.  Note to self: Copious amounts of Stickles on the wrong ink may lead to bleeding!  I've followed the current sketch on Friday Sketchers.

A Fairy for My Beautiful Princess

Happy Sunday!  Sorry for the disappearing act the past couple weeks.  It's been a whirlwind of doctor's appointments and blood tests for my just turned four year old darling daughter.  In the morning we hit the finish line with a biopsy to determine if she has celiac disease like her five year old cousin. 

For that reason, and her love of butterflies and fairies - this week's challenge All Things Winged on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is perfectly timed.  I've used the beautiful Wags n' Whiskers fairy Angelica to create a special card for her on the eve of her hospital visit.

At four years of age, Taryn adores her name and anything with her name on it.  So I used glitter letters and the charming new papers from Cosmo Cricket - Pixilicious.

The flower from Maya Road was a special purchase just for my little flower-loving princess.  The colour matched the patterned papers perfectly.  I applied Stampin' Up! dazzling diamonds liberally!

Currently Taryn's favorite colour is "rainbow" so I used my copics to pull out as many of the different colours from the patterned papers as possible.

The card was a hit!  She decided that it needed to sit on her nightstand where she could look at it as she fell asleep tonight.  Hopefully Angelica will watch over her tomorrow.

Angelica will be entered into the following challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday - Sketch by Leann

Charisma Cardz - Anything Goes

Crazy4Challenges - Bling (glitter, glitter, and more glitter!!!)

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your winged creations on Paper Sundaes!

Paper Sundaes Twelfth Challenge

Happy Sunday!  And for those of you who are celebrating a special day today - Enjoy!  In our household little bunny prints will be tracked down and candies will be devoured.  My six year old son actually asked to go to bed early in an effort to speed up time to morning.

Hard to imagine that Paper Sundaes is now in it's fourth month!  Wow!  I feel the need to do something outrageous...perhaps a little hopping like a bunny?  Nah, not yet.  How about doing something different?  This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is a sketch by our talented visionary Christine.  The prize is from Stamp and Create and is not to be missed!  Knowing that Lacey from Stamp and Create is also a talented scrapbooker and DT member of Scrap and Stamp, I decided to return to my papercrafting roots.

Years before discovering the joys of cardmaking, I was a scrapbooker.  I scrapbooked when most people didn't know what I was talking about.  Now most people know the term and can even identify at least one company who sells products.  This layout was inspired by Lacey and the other girls from Scrap and Stamp and will be entered into their sporty challenge this week.  This layout will also be entered into at Simon Says Challenge (distressing).

Thank you for looking!  Please join us this week at Paper Sundaes for your chance to win a $15 gift certificate to Stamp and Create and your choice of two images for the latest Wags 'n Whiskers release "Let's Play"!
