Why do I ask your opinion? Because I must know what sort of demand these Worm Girls may have so I can make them more fabulous and ready for your pleasure! and artistic endeavors!

This is actually WORM GIRL #2

Worm Girl #1

Thank You All for visiting me today!!! I hope you have a fabulous day!!!

Mix 'N Match with Tiddly Inks & Make it Crafty!

Hello Tiddly Inks & Make it Crafty fans!!!

What a fun project it was to merge two digi stamp companies, combining one's backgrounds with another's characters! As you can see, I went with a chaise lounge from Make it Crafty and a mermaid from Tiddly Inks! I am sure there must be some furniture at the bottom of the ocean! This card reminds me of the scene from Disney's The Little Mermaid, when she is singing about her thingamajigs!

As for Supplies: Copics, Diamond Stickles, flower sequins, little brads, netting

Thank You for checking in!!!

May your day go swimmingly! (pun intended) :)

Love,

Just a Hunk by Stampotique

Hi There!

How about "ahunka ahunka burning love"? For a long while now I have been yearning to bust out "Hunk" by Stampotique, and finally the occasion has presented itself. One of my very special friends is going through somewhat of a life funk. I made this little card for him to remind him to put his crown on and PLAY!!! Even though he has yet to receive this card, he somehow got the message and is presently enjoying a trip to London with his boyrfriend! How fun does that sound?

Here he is! As for Supplies: "Hunk" and "2 sticks" by Daniel Torrente for Stampotique/colored in copics/ticket by hotlz/diamond stickles/scraps of paper

Thank You for stopping by!

Practicing Simplicity

Ever feel like a mermaid at the bottom of the sea? thinking, "someone told me there were plenty of fish, where are they?" Not that I'm looking, or a bottom-of-the-sea-mermaid or anything. Not that I wouldn't mind a hunky merman flipping his glowy bronze self my way; or anything. Not that. Not that. Not that. Or anything.

But if I was mermaid, I would have hot, red electric hair, I would wear a turquoise bikini top and have a purple tail. And my name would be...super exotic....like...what you would find on the bottom of an OPI nail polish bottle. Not like Carmen Electra or Spartacus, Not like "Tutti Frutti Tonga" or "Lincoln Park After Dark" but...something so super amazing, I just can't even think of right now.

And with that super amazing name, I would swim aroun

d and save drunken sailors. I might even rescue a couple of bees and maybe even some turtles that get lost from the pack. I would definitely eat seaweed. And I would never have to worry about what shoes to wear. But knowing me, I would probably fall in love with a dolphin...and then I would spend my nights daydreaming, poached on some picturesque black rock, ima

gining how my life would be if I was a dolphin. After practicing my dolphin noises, I would realize I was never going to be a dolphin, and then blog about it. In bubbles. Like telepathically. And then the bubble would float to the shore, and it would pop at the tail of my merman to be. And he would sense my scaly presence and open merheart and you know...the rest is happily ever history.

But until then, here's a glimpse of a Super Exotically Named Mermaid at The Bottom of the Sea.

(if you actually read the aboveness, you can sense I have had a few ounces of caffeine too many!)

Thank You for checking in, for stopping by, for being here!

Original Design by Me xoxo

Hi There!

Here's another original digi by yours truly! I don't know what you have been doing all day, but I have been eating plantain chips, singing Miss Saigon show tunes and fantasizing about tap dancing...among other things! These HOT summer days make a girl want to stay inside! And tonight, I will go into my place of work and help hang one of my huge signs!!!! AH! But before all that, here's a little character I made a couple days ago.

Please Leave a comment letting me know if you fancy this image!

Enjoy your evening and hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!

Love,

Buttercup xoxo :)

Farewell to The Greeting Farm!!! xoxo

Hello Everyone! :)

I hope you are well rested and enjoying your summer:)

For the past six months, I have enjoyed being on the Design Team for The Greeting Farm stamp company based out of Colorado. I feel so fortunate to have grown in my paper craft abilities and to have learned from the talented design team members, farmers and challenge participants! I will miss the TGF journey and I hope we can continue to grow together as I venture off into creating my own designs and working more with others as well :)

And here, I will allow Cheeky Beauty to blow you all a kiss, imagining it is me in stamp form :) hee hee.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment, "Time to follow your DReams!" Venture off, explore, knock on doors and soar! I have learned a lot from all of you craft enthusiasts here in Blogger Town and I Thank You for walking on Strawberry Road with me.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me at buttercupblogs at gmail dot com.

Onwards and Upwards!!!

~Buttercup :) xoxo
