Have you been watching Flower Soft TV?

You know, every Friday, there is a new episode of Flower Soft TV - and this week is just so fun! It's also a Special Offer week - so you can get this very cute digital download for a great price!
I made a telephone numbers magnet for the side of the refrigerator- all of the papers and images come with the download - so I just printed them, cut them out, popped some dimensional tape between them and inked the papers a little bit. I added some Russet Red Flower Soft on my dotted lines. Very easy and very fun! I do hope you will go check out our new episode!

There must be some Hocus Pocus going on here!

Ahhh, Saturday - the weekend! And so it must be time for me to share this week's Beary Scrap creation with you. The Beary Scrappy Gals have been sharing CAS projects based on this sketch. This is also our challenge to you for another week, so please join us.


So, I got out my Spellcaster Tilda, and told her, "Look, Miss Susan said this was to be a clean and simple card - so no flowers, no layers, no distressing, no glitz, no frou-frou." Well, I don't think she was very happy with this - I mean, after all I was using the Bo Bunny Peacock Lane - How could I not embellish that? I held strong and made this very CAS card.


I should have known better than to leave Spellcaster Tilda alone in my studio with her magic wand! I came back and found that suddenly there were layers, and ribbons, and flowers, and butterflies and stickles - All the things that we had agreed would not be on this card! I think Tilda even got into my Glimmer Mist and sprayed that clear butterfly! This certainly was no longer clean and simple.

So, if you are looking for a little magic, drop by the Beary Scrap and see what we have in store for you!

Just Magnolia: acetate (butterfly made from Cricut packaging - cut with Spellbinders)
Crafty Pad: Ribbons and Flowers
Crafty Cardmakers: punches
Alota: Distress

Pixie Cottage: Feeling Blue

Fun in the Sun!


Where is the summer going? My husband is a teacher, and he will soon have to go back to school! At Belles n Whistles, we want to keep that summer feeling going by seeing a little Fun in the Sun!

For my card, I used Little Eden. I decided that she would have fun watching the penguins hula dance for her!

I hope you will get a chance to play this week! You could win a BnW stamp of your choice!
