All things are possible

I just love the red and black color combination. It goes perfectly with the Cute Critters set from the Cutting Cafe. There are lots of critters to choose from in this set....it contains 58 printable images from Bugs to Bees, sentiments and mushrooms so be sure to head on over to the Cafe to take a look at this incredible set. Not only that but Regina has set after set after set. I have a long list of sets that I can't wait to play with.

Eat Sleep Eat Sleep

I don't know about you but I am ready for the summer. Bring on the heat! If I didn't have any work or family obligations I would do exactly as the sentiment says: "Eat, Sleep, Eat Sleep". Now that is the life. The cute little scene was made with the Emma the Mermaid digital set from Fred She Said.

Game on!

It's challenge time at Pixie Dust Studios. The theme is "Going Round and Round." Its pretty simple, just add something round to your project. It can be a circle, button, something that spins or a circle shaped card. It's a challenge that any crafter can join in on and takes minimal supplies. So put on your creativity hat and get to it. I can't wait to see what you make. I'm sure it will get me spinning *LOL* Head on over the the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge Blog for some eye candy and Mr. Linky. Hope you join in on the fun. My project today is a page out of a fun Summer Book. I hope to capture some candid shots of my girls this summer and look forward to finishing this cute little book.

This weeks Digital Tuesday Challenge sponsor is Dilek Design Studio which you can find at My Grafico. You can find her designs by scrolling down the left side bar to designers and search for her images. She has some cute girl images as well as many others. The theme is: CUTE PEOPLE. You don't have to use one of Dilek's images, but we would like to see some cuties on your projects. You'll find inspiration and Mr. Linky at the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog. I know you have some cute people images and would love to see them. I used the Heart Kaylee image from Some Odd Girl for my challenge. She is still one of my favorite images. She was February's Freebie and isn't currently available for purchase but there are many other images I just know you'll like. I really hope you can play along this week.

Here's the close-up of Kaylee:

And here's a little book to keep love notes.

A Notebook- Pixie Style

Click HERE for the Fred She Said Blog Hop!
I thought I'd share a cute little notebook I made recently. I combined two of the newest Pixie Dust Studio images. Both images are from the Pearl collection and work very nicely together. I kept the coloring of the images pretty simple this time around. I am thinking about paper-piecing the chair with designer paper. That will give the image a whole new look. The great thing about altering notebooks is that it is super easy to do and I am getting more use out of my spiral punch. If you still haven't seen all the images from the latest collection head on over to the Pixie Dust Studio shop. There are a lot of cute images to choose from and remember that since they are digital.....just about anything or any size goes.

Click here to see the new Pixie Dust Studio release.
On to our next Stash Challenge! For the last time, I wanted to see what you could do without any patterned papers...

This time, I'm going to the other extreme, and asking you to combine AT LEAST three different patterned papers, all from DIFFERENT manufacturers! For most of us that is not much of a challenge so lets see your entries. Still need Some Odd Girl inspiration, then head on over to the Some Odd Girl Blog for some wholesome goodness. I used the Mae as Alice image for my card today. I think she is adorable. I am dying to see your fabulous creations and remember I'm not the most patient person so get going!

The Pearl Collection

Kathy at the Pixie Dust Studio has another amazing release. I think this one may be my favorite so far. The collection is called The Pearl and has lots of fun images including the one seen below. Isn't she adorable? And of course the coordinating challenge with the release is to use Pearls on your project. Head on over to the Pixie Challenge Blog for more inspiration and that's where you'll find Mr. Linky. And if you love these images as much as I do and are in the mood for a little shopping head on over to the store here.

Here's the close-up of Pixie and her pearls:

Monogram Notebooks

I have to admit that I am so far behind I don't see the end in sight *LOL* Here's a very simple project that can be made in no time. I started with a couple of $1 mini notebooks from Michael's. I added a little ribbon and a Monogram from The Cutting Cafe. A quick print of a letter, a couple of easy punches and a little ribbon and that's it. Pretty simple, huh? Of course you could add a set of monogram cards to complete the set.

Don't waste the crumbs

It's time for another fun challenge. This week the DT at the Digital Tuesday Challenge is asking you to dig deep into that stash and pull out that VELLUM. It's been a long time since I've used vellum and honestly I wasn't even sure I had any. Luckily I found a couple of sentiments that had just enough space to cut out for my cookie wrapper. The cute images and cookie paper are from Tiddly Inks: the spot for cute digitals. I purchased the girl image, sentiment and cookie paper (pre-colored) as a set. The set is called Cookie Galore.

This week's sponsor is Ellie from Digital Stamp Oasis and she is offering 3 digital images to this week's winner. Head on over to the challenge blog for all the deets and for Mr. Linky.

Twilight Inspired

I admit I haven't read the books or seen the movie but to love the My Sparkle Edward image from Pixie Dust Studio. There are many other Twilight inspired images to choose from and if you need more inspiration check out Kathy's Twilight Scrappy Book, it is amazing. Lastly, stay tuned for the release of The Pearl.

The Cake Exploded

Hello and welcome to another fun Digital Tuesday Challenge! First, I would like to thank everyone who played along last week, we had so much fun visiting your blogs and seeing your projects. Now for our challenge this week...

Make Me Laugh
We would love to see your funny, silly and humorous creations! You may use any company image as long as it's digital! Our fabulous sponsor this week is Dustin Pike and he is offering 3 digis to the winner!

Here's my project for this week. Please bear with me as it was cold, dark and rainy today so my picture had to be taken inside. I will swap it out for a better one the first chance I get. Although Dustin has several great images to choose from I ended up using the Empty Pockets Shrugger set and the Polka Dot Flower set which were made into flower embellishments for a FSS showcase sometime ago.

Peace Kaylee

I thought I'd share a fun little card I made using my newest Some Odd Girl digi. The image is called Peace Kaylee and it is groovy. The Kaylee line is still my favorite collection from Some Odd Girl as you have probably noticed. Head on over to Some Odd Girl to see what your favorite collection is.

Pink and Purple Challenge

This week the Townscrapper is hosting a pink and purple challenge. You can win Honey Tilda this time around and she is adorable. I've included a little preview of the stamp I am talking about below. For my card I used a Townscrapper exclusive - Rockstar Lola. I hope you can join in on this week's challenge and honestly need all the pink and purple inspiration I can get since I rarely use purple. I had to dig in the scrap pile for this one.

The prize for this week's challenge:

Totally Fab

Its time for a style challege at Some Odd Girl. The theme this time around is to capture the 80's. I found this challenge a bit well, challenging. I headed to the scrapbook store in sure of paper that screamed the 80's only to find out that it didn't exist. I found this Bo Bunny Flower Child paper (as seen below) but it reminds me a bit more of the 70's than 80's. So what's a girl to do? Well I decided to make a CD holder (music was big in the 80's). I created a flower shaped record by cutting out the large flower design and cutting out a circle in the middle. I know you can easily show me up so let's see your challenge cards. If you need a little inspiration head on over to the Some Odd Girl Challenge Blog to see what the Odd Girls came up with. You won't be disappointed. Oh before I forget that Totally Fab Chunky Phrase is from The Cutting Cafe.

Pixie Dust Studio FREEBIE!

It's Spotlight Monday at The TownScrapper - we have a fabulous mother-daughter GUEST duo- drop by and see what Phebe and Katrina have created!" Now for today's post:

Yesterday I showed you a close-up of a very cute new image from Pixie Dust Studio. Since it is release day I decided to show you the project that I made around the image. No boys here so I wasn't able to find a cute boy picture to add to my layout. The genuine boy sentiment is separate from the pocket image so you can use them together or separately. In other words, lots of possibilities.



I also wanted to show you the super adorable freebie available at the Pixie Dust Studio blog today. I can't wait to color in this little guy. Be sure to check out the PDS blog to catch him before he swims away. Also be sure to check out the On the Prairie collection. It is CUTE!!

A Pixie Dust Studio Sneak Peek

As many of you know I only have daugther's and struggle with the masculine themed cards. I did have a lot of fun with this sweet image from Pixie Dust Studio though. It's almost time for another fabulous release. Come back tomorrow to see the rest of my project. All I'll say is that it is something that I don't make very often and something I say I wish I could do more of. Any guesses?
