Monster Mash - Sneak Peek

Who says monster's can't be cute?

Most of you know that Halloween is my favorite holiday. So you know I couldn't resist these printables from The Cutting Cafe. The monster images seen below are from the set called Little Monster Gang. It comes with 3 different birthday sentiments so all you have to do is print, cut and color.

You can't see by the picture but I paired these little cuties with the Monster Love Background set. Oh how I love Halloween. Normally I don't post sneak peeks but I was having trouble getting a good picture of the entire card and I couldn't wait to show you how cute these little guys are.

I'll post the finished card soon. I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peek.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Wow! Another week has flown by. What does that mean, well it means its time for a new challenge. This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is for the people. People images, that is. I know you have one, the hardest part is going to be narrowing it down. Feeling adventurous? Use more than 1 image.

This week's sponsor is Guylou Inimitabilites. If you aren't familiar with their digi's head on over to their site to take a peek. You can also see what some of the DT members have made with them for this week's challenge by going to the challenge blog. They have lots of people images to choose from.

I ended up using a fairy image that I stumbled upon while surfing the net. I believe it was a coloring page originally but that didn't stop me from using it. I hope you are able to join in on this week's challenge.

Here's a close-up of the fairy image:

A little late

It's time for the Digital Tuesday Challenge. With the long holiday I guess I lost track of the date. This week's challenge is called "Fairy Wishes".

The sponsor this week is Mo's Digital Pencil. If you haven't heard of Mo's Digital Pencil then you are really missing out on some fabulous digi's. Her designs are very detailed and artistic.

The prize this week is a very special one. There will be 3 winners this week and each winner will win a gift code worth $5. So if you have been thinking of joining in on the fun this is the week. Three prizes are up for grabs. Need a little motivation? Head on over to Mo's Digital Pencil and take a look at the images to see just what you would choose if you won.

Since my supplies are still packed in totes for awhile longer I was only able to grab the most minimal supplies, hence the simplistic card. Don't worry my embellishments will soon make an appearance.

Under the sea challenge

I hope you are ready for a great challenge and a fabulous Pixie Dust Studio release. The fun loving "Splash" release has me dreaming of summer fun.

First onto the challenge. This week's challenge is called Under the sea. We are asking you to create a card/project using the color blue. I used one of the newest images for my card this week. I went for the bright, bright colors this week so put on your shades and dive into summer.

Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog to see what the DT came up with this week.

Here's a look at the collection:

Here's a list of the challenges this card was made for:

Freshly Brewed - Beach or Summer

Egg Hunt Release

Can you believe its time for another Pixie Dust Studio release? The collection is called Egg Hunt and it is an adorable set. Perfect for Easter.

I made about 300 mini cupcakes for my daughter's class. I cheated a bit and used box cake mixes and frosting in the can but still love how they turned out. I made three different kinds (strawberry, chocolate and yellow). Here's a picture of the strawberry mini's with sprinkles:

I thought it would be fun to make a cupcake topper so I printed out the Critter cupcakes image but only used the bunny portion of the image. I attached it to a lollipop stick and inserted it into the cupcake. How fun is that?

Here's a close-up of the image:

Don't forget that today is the beginning of the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge. It's called "Lace it up" so we are asking you to use lace on your project this week. Here's what comes in the Egg Hunt collection:

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Time for another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's theme is called "Easter Parade". It's up to you on just how you interpret the theme this week. It can be an Easter image, Easter Colors, Easter Paper, you decide. Just remember to use a digital element to your project.

Our sponsor this week is Pixie Dust Studio and they are giving away 2 free digi's to the winner. Lot's of fun images to choose from, including the one I used below. I thought it would be fun to make an Easter basket using a treat bag and Stampin Up's Top Note Die. It was super easy to make.

The bunny image is from Pixie Dust Studio and is called Some Bunny Loves You. The "Got eggs" sentiment is from the Easter Set 3 from The Cutting Cafe.
