Pixie Dust Studio Sneak Peek

Good afternoon everyone!  After a week full of not one, but 2 sick kids, I have realized that I should probably not try to schedule posts at 11PM!  I had my Pixie Dust Studio sneaky peek set to go live at 6PM!  Whoops!!!

Without further ado...here is your sneak peek at Sleepy from the new line to be released tomorrow called "7!"   I paper pieced his robe to match my daughter's and made his teddy a panda to go along with her pillow pet.  Awwwww!  My dear daughter was NOT happy about this picture either!  *evil grin*

Be sure to swing back by tomorrow for another project from the "7" line and the release!  Woohoo!  MWAH!

Can You Digi It? Challenge 5

Good morning peeps!  I'm here with another challenge for the Can You Digi It? blog and it's got flair!  What is it, you ask?  PRETTY PEACOCK!  Use the following collage of awesome items to inspire your peacock project!  Be sure to come by and join us...Michelle is offering up a $10 store gift certificate to the winner!  :O)

I opted to PEAR my peacock with the image called Pears by LilyPink Designs.  I erased the striped pair in photoshop and used a color overlay on the polka dotted pear to match my peacock.  Added the peacock in front, arranged the sentiment that comes with the image set and print!  I used the current sketch at Deconstructed Sketches for this one.  I hope you like it!

Thanks for popping in today...be sure to drop by tomorrow, I'll have my first Pixie Post live and with sneaky peeks!

Simply B Stamps Blog Hop & Release!!!

Good afternoon everyone!  Have you all been enjoying the previews from Simply B Stamps latest line?

Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland Chibis Blog Hop!

If you have come here from the fabulous Suzi's Blog, then you are right on course!  If not, start back at the SBS Blog so you don't miss a thing!

The last image we have for you is the Mad Hatter!  I tried and tried to color him up with my Copics the way Johnny Depp was in the movie, but it was scary!  I opted for Photoshop to color him.  It looks bizarre to me, but what the heck...he was bizarre in the movie.  :O)  I paper pieced his hat with some lace too.

Your next stop on the hop is Rebecca...she's got an awesome project for you.  Make sure to comment along the way for your chance to win the Hatter!

If you get lost along the way, here is the complete hop list.

Bunny Love

Good evening all!  I have some exciting news that will follow my post, so read all the way to the bottom!  I'm back with another post for Simply B Stamps and the Alice in Wonderland Chibis.  We have Alice herself for you today!

I decided to go with a digital layout for this image because I had the cutest picture of my daughter, Ariel, snuggled up close with a bunny at the petting zoo.  Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!  I used my own line of digital papers appropriately called Hunny Bunny...you can buy them for yourself HERE!  :O)

I hope you love Alice as much as I do!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for the RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP!  We'll have the last image and I'm sure some wheels and deals from Betty!

Want that news I was talking about in the first line of the post?  Pixie Dust Studio has asked me to join their Design Team!  How totally cool is that?  Woohoo!  Be looking for a special something from me next week for their newest release, "7"!

Off With Her Head!!!

Not off with Betty's head, of course!  I LURVE her!  I'm back with another sneak peek of the new Alice in Wonderland Chibis from Simply B Stamps!  Today we are featuring The Red Queen!

My sweet little one, Ariel, wanted to help with the release and she made this adorable card...complete with some shimmering spray, brads and a mulberry rose!  :O)

And I used the queen on a cool background I found on the internet!

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow...same time, same place!  Have any guesses as to who will be here?  MWAH!

GRINNING KITTIES...Simply B Stamps sneak peek!

Good evening all!  I told you I'd be back with another post today!  I'm here to show you a little sneaky peekof the Cheshire Cat from the Alice in Wonderland Chibis line over at Simply B Stamps!  How fun, indeed!

I used some paper from Making Memories and my Copics to color him up.  Nesties made the circle and scallop, as well as the yellow clouds in the background that I'm hoping you can see.  The sentiment comes from a PTI set, the gems and card stock from my stash.  :O)

Be sure to check back in tomorrow for another sneak peek...featuring my dear daughter, Ariel!

Daffodils and Dandelions...

Hello, my little cupcakes!  I hope all is well on your side.  I'm popping in today to share a project I made for the Can You Digi It? Challenge, as well as the Desert Island Crafts Challenge!  A two-fer!

The challenge at CYDI? is called Over the Rainbow...here is the photo inspiration.

The itinerary over at DICC is as follows...please remember to use at least 3 items!

1. SQUIRREL
2. RACCOON
3. MONKEY
4. MOUSTACHE
5. GNOME
6. ORANGE
7. GRASS
8. PAPER PIECING
9. COLORED PENCIL COLORING
10. RAINBOW

I used the little squirrel from the set called Retro Simply Woodland at CYDI?.  I paper pieced him and colored his flower and spots in Photoshop.  These are 2 of the flowers we are seeing blooming here in Kansas right now.  It has been crazy warm here for this time of year...already in the upper 80's.  Today it's 60ish and rainy, so at least we're back to "normal."  I used numbers 1, 6, 7, 8 & 10 for the DICC itinerary.  Come on over and join us!!!

Have a lovely day and be sure to peek in at 8PM for a Simply B Stamps sneaky peek!  MWAH!

HBD2U!

Good morning everyone!  So sorry for the lack in posts lately.  Lots of stuff going on!  I'm here with another monthly challenge for Simply B Stamps!  We are at #3 of Simply Challenged...can you believe it?  Mid way through March already!  Today's challenge is an easy one for you...make a project to celebrate any occasion!  Remember if you use an SBS image you get TWO entries into the drawing.  ;O)

I used Emo Valentine Rio for my birthday card and I just love her!  I added some Stickles to my Thickers after I colored them with my Copics.  :O)

 

Thanks so much for popping in this morning!  Mwah!

Can You Digi It? Challenge 4

Good morning everyone!  I'm here with a new challenge for the Can You Digi It? blog!  This one is especially cool, even though it took me a while to figure out what I was going to do!  It IS called a challenge, yes?  DENIM & LACE!  Look at all these scrummy inspiration photos!  Just link up your project on the blog and see if you're the next winner!!!

I went with another of Carla's Creatures called Panda with Baby.  It comes just as you see here...colored and shaded beautifully!  Quick cards if you know what else you want to do!  LOL!  My daughter retired a pair of jeans a week or so ago and I used a strip of them to make my denim flower with some lace for the center.  :O)

I do so hope you'll come on over and join us at CYDI?!

Stock Spotlight Saturday at CYDI?!

Good afternoon, my sweets!  Sorry I'm late with my post today...I should have had this scheduled like a good girl.  My brother-in-law had emergency surgery to remove his appendix yesterday and I was at the hospital with my sister.

Are you ready for the Stock Spotlight at Can You Digi It?  I know you are if you love all things sparkly!  Today we have Zva Creative's Wheels in the spotlight.  CYDI? has 2 different wheels...one with pearls and one with rhinestones.  They come in 2 different sizes and many great colors!  These are amazing especially if you use Embellie Gellie to handle them.  EG is truly the stuff of miracles!!!  A must have if you use tiny embellishments!
I used the image called I'm Sorry by Carla's Creatures along with 3 different colors of the rhinestones to match my paper.

Thanks so much for popping in today!  MWAH!

Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day again, my sweets!  I hope your day is being filled with love!  I'm here with the 3rd challenge for the Can You Digi It? Blog!  This round we have a sweet collage for your inspiration.  This challenge is called PUPPY LOVE.  Awwww!

Is this image cute, or what?  Doesn't he look sorry that he gnawed on the paper before he brought it in?  It is called Stressed Mutt by KiniArt.  I stamped the little sentiment from PTI on it after I printed and colored.  I used Newsprint Candi Dots that are brand spanking new to the CYDI? store.  I colored them to match my project with my Copics...I thought they were appropriate with the sweet dog bringing in the newspaper, but I didn't like the way the stark white looked.  In pops the R85 Copic to match this sweet DP from Glitz Design's Pretty in Pink paper pack, and voila!  Love it!  I also used a MS border punch and some fab ribbon trim from Hobby Lobby.

Come on over and join us for our PUPPY LOVE challenge!  We'd love to see what you come up with and win!  ;O)  MWAH!

Stock Spotlight Saturday with Can You Digi It?

Good morning party people!  I hope your Saturday has started out well.  Our Stock Spotlight Saturday at Can You Digi It? today is all about glitter paper!  This particular glitter paper is by American Crafts and it is absolutely amazing!  NONE, and I stress NONE, of the glittery goodness comes off of this paper!  It is super thin and absolutely beautiful!  Another cool thing?  You can color it with your Copics!  WOOT!

On my first card I made a clean and simple example to show off the paper.  I used Denim Stars on it...so pretty!  I took a photo from a bit of a side angle to really show off the super glitter and shimmer this paper gives you.  The sentiment is stamped on a nestie shape and is by PTI.  A little ribbon and some brads completes it.  :O)

On my second card I did color it with my Copics.  I used Silver Stripes on this one...yes, I said silver!  I made the flower out of one of my hubby's retired work shirts and added some off white rhinestones from Zva Creative's Crystal Wheel.  The sentiment is also stamped on a nestie shape and is by CTMH.  I punched some little leaves/branches with a MS punch.  Isn't this paper gorgeous colored?  It doesn't take away any of the shine and sparkle at all!

Thank you so much for popping in to see me today.  Scoot over to the CYDI? store and order some of this paper...you will not be disappointed, I promise!!!
