So glad you can join me for today's rubberFUNatics

Weekly Challenge! Grab your scraps - this is a

super easy sketch challenge!

I LOVE the Dainty Flowers designer papers from Sale-A-Bration!

These colors are just so pretty! I took 1/2" strips and glued them

across the panel and then added a frame of Fresh Freesia

I changed up the shape of the sketch and added a 

few brass butterflies to finish it off.

Control Freaks January Blog Hop - Fun Folds

 Hello Stampers!

Welcome to the January Control Freaks blog hop!

The team is so excited to share some fun and fancy

folds with you - you'll want to create to impress for

yourself, too! Whether you are arriving from the wonderful

Wendy Weixler or just starting out here, I know you

will enjoy these projects as much as we have creating

them for you - ENJOY!

I am so in love with these sweet little Adorable

Owls from Sale-A-Bration! I combined them with the 

Ringed with Nature bundle - it's a perfect match!

I was so happy to see that this bundle made the carry over list!

You may be wondering where the fun fold is on here.

You need to take a peek on the inside to see the.....

SURPRISE! A fun little pop-up that has these 

little owls enjoying an afternoon flight! 

It's so easy to do, too! The outside card measures 

4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded. The inside card measures 

4" x 5 1/4" folded. To get the center to pop, just 

bring the center fold to the inside, line up the edges

of the card and press the closed. For thicker cardstock,

you can just used your score tool. So fun!

CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite New Sale-A-Bration Designer Paper

sharing some of our favorite designer papers from the NEW
Sale-A-Bration brochure! We hope these projects spark

your creativity - you'll definitely want these pretty papers

The Dainty Flowers designer papers are so gorgeous! 

I created (6) cards from one sheet of designer paper. I kept them

really simple so as not to take away from the beauty of the flowers.

I added the Go To Greetings stamp set as a companion 

as all the sentiments work so well with these papers.

The watercolor background papers from the same pack

add a touch of color to the inside message.
