Doodle Panty Challenge and COUGAR!

Good morning! I don't have a card to show you today but wanted to remind everyone that the Doodle Pantry Challenge starts today!! Please hop over to the Doodle Pantry Blog to get all the deets and join in the fun! Also...I had a BLAST on Monday night playing with my Cougar again and Make the Cut software! It was like training myself all over again since all that I had learned I kind of forgot! Ohhhh geez did I ever forget! But first thing I did was to create my very very own design in MTC! I amazed myself that I could actually do it...and THEN with some help from my friend Penny Duncan, I was able to cut it out too!! Well, I hope I am on a roll now, I do miss using my Cougar and really should have not quit trying! Here is a pic of the frame I designed in MTC:

Pretty huh? And I do believe I can make it fancier if I try but not bad for a first! If I have any followers that can cut SVG files, please contact me by email and I will be glad to share my file with you! Well, I am off for the day...work, and then photography class tonight! Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my Cougar/MTC joy with you! Have a blessed day!

HUGS!

FSS Ornate Butterfly

What a beautiful day we have here today! Birds are singing, weather is nice and cool and I have the day off! Can't get much better than that! Speaking of beautiful, that is how I feel about the card above...what do you think? I really love all white cards, like clean and simple. The beautiful butterfly used on this card is Ornate Butterfly....in the FSS Store. Now this awesome butterfly comes as as a digi and cutting file set. I used the cutting file set and cut it out with my Black Cat Cougar. I ran the bottom layer of the butterfly through the Xyron, put the top layer on and then added some glitter. Some of the other elements used on the card are Cuttlebug Musical Flourish and Polka Dots embossing folders and Nestabilities Lattice Rectangles and Labels Eight dies.The embellishments that I used on the butterfly body and on the edge of the frame are from Pizzazz Aplenty. 
Now that my card has been covered, I have a surprise for you today. Today is my birthday and I am giving one lucky commenter a gift...I have begun making my own paper flowers with punches and I will use Random number to pick a lucky commenter on Friday. Want to see what you will get?

 Just leave some love and you are in the drawing! Now know, I am just learning to make these so they may not be "perfect" but I think they are surely usable! Have a great day today and thanks much for stopping by!
HUGS!
