FAE 8

Hi, There!

I am excited to announce that I was invited by Ema, the DT Coordinator of Fitztown, to be a Guest Designer for a challenge at Fitztown.  It was easy for me to say yes, as you know how much I love coloring fairies!  So I was happy to pick Fae 8 and design a card for her.  Ema, thanks so much for giving me this opportunity.  Here is my card and I enjoyed every moment of this creation!  Be sure to check out all the other wonderful creations over at Fitztown's Challenge Blog for May 3rd - "Lots of Layers"

I used 4 different background papers from Kaiser Craft/Sweet Nothings.  I tore one piece of paper for the upper left corner and that was difficult for me to do as I love this paper so much - I sometimes don't want to use it!!  The image has been mounted on to Craft paper.  I used a white paper doily, white lace; mounted a zipper charm and gold corners all from LLC.  Flowers from WOC and blue rhinestones from my stash.  I used a MS butterfly punch on vellum and also stuck a little heart pin inside the flower arrangement.

Hi, There!
I have a few birthdays to celebrate in both April and May so I will be looking to make a few celebration cards.  Here is one that I finished tonight and she is called Lizzy with Gift from Make It Crafty.  If you like the big eyes and the flowing hair, they have tons to pick from and I can never make up my mind.  Lizzy was a delight to color and I made her present pop by decoupaging it!  I also popped her frame out from the background too.  Hope you are enjoying the beginning of your weekend!  Just live for the weekends - I do!!!  Take care, till next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn
