Be a Friend -- for Fitztown

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  There are some new releases today at Fitztown.  When I saw this digi, I KNEW I had to create with it!

This digi can be found in the Morgan's Fae World Etsy Shop.

I had a great time coloring this.  I used many different Copic markers on this.  

The designer papers are from American Crafts -- Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic. The card base is Pixie card stock from Close To My Heart. The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  It is one of the Tie Dye 2 Collection. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart.  The wood veneer dogs are from Studio Calico.

Check out the Fitztown blog today to see other inspiration with the new releases.  They're fantastic!

Frogs, Vellum, and Birthdays -- for Fitztown

Hello, crafty friends, and happy Monday! It's time for a new challenge at Fitztown.  For the next 2 weeks, we want you to use some vellum. 

My husband's birthday was a couple days ago, and he loves tree frogs, so I used a wonderful Fitztown image to make him a birthday card:

The tree frog digi is one of a set of 4, found in the Etsy Shop, Morgan's Fae World.  I colored the frog with Copic markers, fussy & cut it.  I stamped a pocket on designer paper and fussy cut that.  The pocket stamp is part of a Unity Stamp Company Stamp of the Month kit.  I placed the frog on top of the pocket, stamped my sentiment on vellum, and placed it on top of the pocket. The sentiment is a stamp by CTMH. 

The designer papers are by Bella Blvd.  The Kraft card stock base is by Carta Bella. That fun new chevron punch along the bottom is from Close To My Heart.

Do you like to use vellum?  Do you find it a challenge?  Either way, find your stash and join us for the next 2 weeks at Fitztown!

A Tangled Mess -- for Fitztown

Monday already?  How did that happen?  And it's time for a new challenge on the Fitztown Challenge blog.  This week's this is "Animals".  Yeah, I like that one!  I'm sort of in Christmas card mode these days, so when trying to figure out what digi to use, I found this really cute one called "winter snowbird".  A bird is an animal, right?

This stamp can be found in the Morgan's Fae World Etsy Shop.  It's available in this pre-printed version I used here, or a regular digi stamp.  

I printed it twice, and fussy cut it once, wrapped some Cherry Red Timeless Twine around it, and used 3D foam tape to place it on top of the first printed image.  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Company.  It seemed to fit this little snow bird perfectly! Papers are from Echo Park.

Come join in the Fitztown Animal Challenge -- you know you want to!

Real Friends Listen with Their Hearts -- for Fitztown

After guest designing for Fitztown for several months, I've been asked to stay on the team, and I couldn't be happier!  This is a great group to work with, and some super images to design with!

Today starts a new challenge on the Fitztown Challenge blog, and the theme is always popular -- Anything Goes. 

I used 2 of my favorite images on this card:

The flower is a new Fitztown image, found in the MorgansFaeWorld Etsy Shop, called Flower Set (6 flowers).  The butterfly is Garden 16, and is part of a collection of 6 butterflies.

I have some new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers I am experimenting with, and I used them on both the flower and butterfly. Here's a closeup of both of the images:

The sentiment is a stamp from Close To My Heart.  Designer papers are from the My Mind's Eye Vanity Fair 6x6 pad.  Ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  This is Tuxedo, from the Celebrations Bundle. The pearl stick pin is from Pinque Peacock. I also used a We R Memory Keepers Scallop Corner Chomper on this.

Come join the Anything Goes challenge, and check out the awesome inspiration from the Fitztown Creative Team.
