Ready for Spring!




Welcome to Tuesday! And my second post for the week. I am off to a good start for the last week of January. I hope I can stay this productive for the rest of the week. But, unfortunately, it’s my turn to buy groceries. Ugh! But he’s cookin’! No complaints really, I NEED to get out of the house! (NO, it does not take me a week to buy groceries. LOL It takes me a little while to get back into the creative mode. I would much rather be in my studio. Wouldn't you?)

Priscilla Styles Design Team "B" designed several scrumptious treats for your eyes using Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #88  Check my side bar for Priscilla’s Design Team Members and leave them some love. Here’s the sketchs. You can make it plain or fancy. I think I chose fancy ‘cause of the pearls and Stickels.
My project is with one of my favorite digis from Priscilla Styles Store.  The image I used is from the set Butterflies.  The set includes three butterflies, 2 of them are with the wings up. Go check them out. You will be able to do wonders with these beauties.
My recipe is:
Copics: R81, 83, 85, 39; E71, 47; W6; and blender pen
Inks: Distress
Cardstock: SU 80# and Cryogen 80#
Designer Paper: Basic Grey, Sultry collection
Embellishments: Green pearls; Stickles in Star Dust and Pumice Stone
Other challenges that I entered are:
Flutter by Wednesday #138 – anything goes, but must be butterfly, angel, or fairy

Thanks so much for stopping by again! I really do appreciate it! If you have any questions, please contact me.

Have a great week!
Aletha
