Butterflies...

 ...Don't you just love them?? I know I do, I've always had a fascination with them and when Krista came out with Butterfly Girl I intstantly fell in love with her! I knew right away that I wanted to do something different with her and immediately thought of this...

Ok, well, I didn't immediately think of the whole thing, but the general idea and tho baby girl is a bit young, it's going in her room. She said it was pretty several times while watching me color it, so I'm quite certain she'll enjoy having it in her room.

Here's a pic w/o that shadow box frame and you can see all the coloring that went into this. What was I thinking?? I do not own a an air brusher and I wanted crisp clear colors, so I did all that sky background by hand and let me tell you that was no easy task. I've put her in pink and brown cause those are the main colors in DD's room and the rest of the colors are extras. The background scene is a bunch of merged images from Make it Crafty and those took the better part of a day to put together all by themselves. Other than all of the coloring tho it wasn't too bad...I did work several different flower options, but decided i liked this the best! I'm thinking now she may need some sparkle and I might hang some butterflies from the bottom, but this will have to do for now and we'll see what time will bring.

Well, that's all for today, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Simply Sassy New Release Blog Hop!!!

Hello Everyone! It's time again for another new Release Blog Hop with Simply Sassy for Sugar Nellie! If you've just happened upon my blog please go the to Simply Sassy Dt Blog so you can start at the begining. If you are coming here from Kellie's blog you are on the right track! Are you enjoying your trip today! Some of you have probably been up for quite some time b4 I am able to go thru and I'm really looking forward to seeing what my fellow teamies have made. Well, I suppose I shouldn't keep you as you've got some more stops to make. Today I have for you.....

....'Bedtime Snuggles' and she should be available at Funky Kits today! Oooo I just love her, isn't she just adorable?? As you can see I decided to go a little different route this time around and I've made a little wall hanging. Not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet, maybe someone will buy it or maybe I'll decided to keep it for my daughter, we will see.

Here's our little girl a bit closer up. When I started to color her I knew right away I wanted her to have blond hair and blue eyes and to wear pink, so this time around I actually went back to coloring first. The doilies behind her have been inked with cat's eye ink pads and then I added stickles cause, well, you can never have too much sparkle, right???

Here is a close-up of the wording...it's computer generated and I'm loving this font! The beautiful papers I've used are from Imaginisce Fairytale collection from a year or two ago. I have distressed the edges of these with a pewter and a silver and then added stickles.

The flower arrangement. Boy, I worked for quite some time on this, I think it's the largest one I've done...good thing I had all those flowers on hand, lol. They are all Wild Orchid and now I will need to soon be placing another order.

Here's the trim on the edges. The flowery trim is sold by the yard at my Hobby Lobby and is quite expensive, but it's gorgeous!! The pearls are also from Hobby Lobby from their wedding dept. I'm sorry I do not have a list of copics for you today, but if there's something you need to know I can probably figure it out...I did write the hair down somewhere:)

Ok, well, that's it for me. Your next stop on the hop is Erica. Don't forget if you wanna be in the running to win a couple Simply Sassys of your own please leave me a comment by Monday the 28th of February 6am CST then check back later that day to see if you've won...I won't be up at six,lol.

Thanks for joining us on our hop!

Have a fabulous Day!

Here are the card and frame I made for my sister who loves carebears. I had quite the time finding just the right picture to do this and I wasn't sure if it was gonna work but I don't think it turned out too bad. I recently bought a few copics to try them out and was able to use a few on these and I think I"m hooked! I can't wait to play around with them some more!

I finally managed to get this frame done for my sister. This was such a learning process but considering it's only the 2nd one I've done I don't think it turned out too bad. At least I've learned some do's and don'ts for next time. Now I just have to make the small frame and a card don't by tonight...guess I'll be up late again.
