Adore

Are you getting a little bogged down with Christmas projects? I know I am. I'm not one to mass produce cards so each year at this time my Mojo (what little I had) tends to disappear on me. Luckily Pixie Dust Studios has come out with some cute Valentine's Day images from the Love Letter Collection. Nothing perks me up more than the excuse to use more pink and red. I decided at the last minute that I was going to make a 6 X 6 calendar for my desk this year. I only have 3 months done so far but plan on chiping away at it month after month. I paired up my Pixie image with the 2010 Calendar set from The Cutting Cafe. Its as simple as printing, cutting and pasting. I can easily adjust the size of the calendar to fit my needs. No complaints there.

Here's a look at the entire Love Letters collection:

Happy Birthday

Thanks to everyone who played along the Digital Tuesday Challenge last week, we had so much fun visiting your blogs and seeing your projects. A random winner will be chosen later on today!

Now for our challenge this week... "Happy Birthday!" Make a BIRTHDAY something! You may use any company image as long as it's digital!

We have a wonderful new sponsor this week, Ildi Co! Their images are just delightful. For my card this week I used the Happy Birthday Circle Set from The Cutting Cafe and a sentiment from Bethany's Digi Word Art. I kept this one simple

Love Letters Sneak Peek

It's almost time for another fun release from Pixie Dust Studios. Here's my first sneak peek of the Love Letters collection to be released on December 15th. There are some adorable images to choose from. Christmas will be here soon so it's time to move to another holiday. I don't make many New Year's cards so for me it's time for the love holiday. I don't send out that many Valentines Day cards but I do enjoy making them. Maybe its the pink and red combo that get's me going. I'm sure you'll be seeing more and more of them in the upcoming weeks. Today's image is called Pixie Dust Love Letter.

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is "Christmas Sparkle". Feel free to use glitter and bling on your cards or anything else to make your Christmas/Winter cards sparkle. Our sponsor this week is Mo of Mo's Digital Pencil who is offering the winner 3 of her images. To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is make a card/project using at least one digital image and include something that sparkles or shines. You may combine challenges but your card/project must be new (not shown before on your blog). Please leave a direct link to your creation with Mr Linky below. Don't have a blog? Simply upload to an online gallery and use keyword DTC35. I used Mo's Siku and Shiya image for this one. Isn't it adorable? I also added a Joy to the World sentiment from The Cutting Cafe.
