Follow Your Art!

Hello, my party people! I have been busily slaving away for a new and exciting adventuring. I have been accepted to the Creative Team for Follow Your Art. It is comprised of 3 very talented and unique artists; Cilenia Curtis, Angie Young & Aria. Each one of them has their own line and they also do a colab using the same color palette every month. I have linked their shops above...do give them a peek if you love artsy crafting kits!

Here are several layouts I have made using the amazing Discover Colab...find these bundles HERE for Cilenia, HERE for Angie & HERE for Aria.
This first layout is using the FYA subscriber's freebie.

The next 8 (yes, I said 8) layouts are for an album of our family photo shoot...perfection for the urban photos!

Do check back because I have lots more to share!  I am even considering starting my own art journal with these amazing kits and the inspiring pages I have seen from the CT.  MWAH!!!

Feed the Birds...please?

It's time for a new challenge and a new release!  FEED THE BIRDS is now available for purchase at Pixie Dust Studio!  The challenge is set...it's all about birds, of course!  See how easy we make it? LOL!

For my challenge entry I made a digital layout of my daughter at the pet shop feeding the birds...how appropriate!  I used digital papers that I made called Bird is the Word and colored some of the elements in the paper to match my daughter's photos.  The image is called Feed the Birds.  She is actually sitting on a bench, but I "cut" her out in Photoshop to use on my layout.

Next image I played with is called What Shall I Do.  Is this the cutest kitty, or what?  He's got 3 of his best buds hanging with him.  I colored with Copics and used some clear cut shapes from Deja Views that I've had forever.  They are baby girl themed, but all too perfect for this card!

Be sure to join in the challenge fun...and go shop till you drop!  You know you want to!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Sneaky Peek

Good afternoon all!  I hope your day is going well!  I'm popping in with a little sneaky peek for Pixie Dust Studio...Kathy's latest cuteness is called "Feed the Birds!"

I am previewing the image called Birds on a Wire.  Isn't it so sweet?  Perfect for a card for no particular reason!  I drew and Stickled the sun after decided there was too much open space up there.  :O)  I used a sentiment from a stamp set by TE.

I sure hope you'll be checking out the release tomorrow...more super cute images are on the way!  MWAH!!!

BUGGIN'!

Good morning everyone!  I'm stopping in today to share a card I made for the current Pike's Playground over at Dustin Pike's blog.  The theme this time is "Don't Bug Me" and there are some great projects by the team!  Hurry over and join in the fun!  While you're there, be sure to check out the specials!

I used Mantis for mine...an oldie, but a goodie!  I hope you like him...I do!  :O)

Here is another of Dustin Pike's older images.  My hubby had a co-worker's birthday to bring a card for...we were going to do something over the hill since it was his 50th birthday, but he said he was a computer programmer and the like...this image immediately came to mind.  I did make him gray to elude to his "old" age!  I hear everyone liked it!

Thank you so very much for stopping by to visit today.  I appreciate it!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Post

Good afternoon everyone!  Today starts a new challenge for the Pixies...what is it you ask?  Use 3 or more patterned papers in your project!  You can do it!  I know you can!

I have a couple of Pixie Dust Studio projects to share with you today.  First up is a cute layout using Oh Happy Day.  This was actually for the challenge last week, but I never got it posted.  *shhhhhhh*

Next up is a card I made for a sweet little girl named Gabrielle. She is very sweet and in a constant battle for health.  She is in a low spot in her health and is not able to attend school at the moment.  Her high point in her day is walking to the mailbox to get the mail (if she feels well enough to make the walk).  I am wanting to spread the word and get her to have fun getting the mail each day.  I would LOVE if you all would send her one of your cards with some happy messages attached.  Spread the word and get the news out that she would love mail from our sweet crafting community!!  She LOVES zebras.  So if you have any zebra cards she would love them!
Her addy is:
Gabrielle Rothwell
46396 Grandview Dr.
Perham, MN 56573

Thanks so much for peeking in today!  MWAH!!!

Button It Up!

Good morning everyone!  At the Can You Digi It? blog the next 2 weeks is all about BUTTONS!  I love buttons, so I knew this was a challenge I wanted to issue to see what awesome creations we get using this board for your inspiration.

I think all those projects on the board are so fun!  I have made a tree of buttons before and they do look very cool.  I decided to use my buttons in the place of the leaf balls on LilyPink Designs Topiary image.

Won't you join us in our latest challenge?  You could be the next winner of a CYDI? $10 gift certificate!  

P.S.  Michelle has made up some digi buttons for your project making pleasure, so be sure to grab those up while they're free!

Last project for me uses Christian the Dark Hero (and Max & Miller from the original Teen Scene line) from SBS and City Corner from MiC.  You know Christian  needed a villain, right?  I tried to make Max & Miller look scary and Joker-like...how did I do?

Today's project uses Little Usher Miller from SBS and Watching Movies background from MiC.  I definitely wanted to make sure you all know how awesome these images are for scrapbooking too.  So Ariel now "hates" JB.  I like him though!  :O)

Next up I used Lady Lola from SBS and Red Carpet from MiC.  She is surely making her debut in this fabulous dress.  I colored everything except the sidewalk and the red carpet with Copics.  I used my Prismacolor Pencils for those 2 things and some TH distress inks for the cloudy sky.  The sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michael's.  :O)

I'm starting you off with a little project using Action Chris and Movie Gala Betty from SBS and Movie Set from MiC.  Don't you just love these images?  Too perfect!  I colored everything with my trusty Copics and added some DP from Echo Park.

Next up is a digital layout using Beauty Spa Rio from SBS.  My daughter was treated to a spa mani / pedi with my Mom and I.  It's a normal outing for my Mom and I, but we wanted to let Ariel get her first taste.  :O)  She picked the BRIGHTEST pink polish I have ever seen...the picture doesn't do it justice.  It seriously could have glowed in the dark!
