Flutter By Wednesday #138 - Open

This is week #138 on Flutter By Wednesday and with this new week comes a fun new challenge!  The challenge this week is:  Open Challenge

I've worked on another page from my coaster album for today's challenge.  The ribbon is from the same collection (Blizzard by Harmonie that I was able to get from Rhonda at Your Scrapbook Supply).  I've also added some bling, flowers, stickles (on the snowmen's hat bands that I found impossible to get a shot of), Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist (Dazzling Diamond on the tags), and the sweet MS Monarch Butterfly that I covered in Glossy Accents.  (the butterfly looks a bit rust colored with the Glossy Accents, but it's punched from paper in the collection and is actually similar to that gorgeous ribbon in color.    

Please be sure to use a butterfly, faerie, or angel on your new card or project. When your creation has been uploaded to your blog/gallery, please add a direct link to your work on the FBW blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sentimental Sundays #38 - Winter

Welcome back for a new challenge with Sentimental Sundays.  This is challenge #38, and the theme this week is:  Winter

One of my goals for 2011 is to work on new things in paper crafting.  This is another mini album that I've started, and have used the Blizzard DP from Harmonie to cover the chipboard coasters.  This paper is one of the many wonderful goodies I've purchased from Your Scrapbook Supply over the past year or so, and Rhonda has been one of the most fabulous shop owners I've had the pleasure to work with.  not only does she have the latest and greatest supplies available, but she also has the best prices I've seen.  Be sure to stop by and visit the store:  Your Scrapbook Supply   

Be sure to use a sentiment somewhere on your card or project, and to follow the theme however you may interpret it.  While Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) offers fabulous freebies, and also sells a wide variety of sentiment stamps at Whimsy Stamps, you are free to use any sentiment.  Be sure to link up on the Sentimental Sundays blog before the next challenge to be in the running for a fabulous prize, and use a direct link to make it easy for us to find your new card or project.  Also remember to swing by SS and enjoy the free digis Ann shares each week!

Here are the challenges that I'm entering:
