Party Time Tuesdays with ChiChi Memories

I tell ya what - Party Time Tuesday's is out to get us creative!

The challenge this week can be found in detail HERE.

You are going to be going with a new technique that I thought was interesting to say the least!

Twosdays Techniques and ChiChi Memories are out sponsors this week with

Make Your Own Flowers - with an Anything Goes Theme!

I used a butterfly punch to get my flowers started, water to bend them, and hairspray to set them!

The image I am using is from ChiChi Memories - one of our sponsors and I hope you love it!

Think Unity Stamp Pad, Scraps, Ribbon, and Stamps.

Deedee's Digis & Some Challenges!

So being on the design team for Deedee's Digis I can pick a lot of images to work from - SO NICE!

Plus working with Deedee is so great and so very nice!

I decided that since today was going to be full of green I would make something NOT green :)

I am Irish so it is not that I am protesting or anything!

BUT Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait to see some Ladybugs fly onto my hand!

This is the image "Love Bug" and when you purchase it you actually get two images and a ton of sentiments to go with it! This one it definitely worth it!

BIC Markers of course!
