To my beautiful mother

I am still having fun with last month's freebie from Some Odd Girl. I just love the Kaylee collection and don't worry I've been playing with some of the new images as well so you'll see some new ones very soon. I added a little paper piecing for her dress. I wish you could see all the details of the dp I used for it. It really brings out the yellow in the background paper. I thought it would be fun to make the image more of a focal point so I added a circle sentiment from The Cutting Cafe (All about mom set). Since both the image and sentiment are digital I created one single image in Photoshop and printed it in one swoop. I was able to re-size them both to fit my needs. Can't complain about that.

For my Hunny Bunny!

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is sponsored by Ellie at Digital Stamp Oasis. She is offering free digi's to the winner this week. There are 3 new images, one of which is featured below. The challenge this week is to add piercing to your card so grab your piercing tool and template and start poking that paper. I know you can do it. Be sure to check out the DTC blog to see what the other DT members came up with. Lots of critter cards this week. That is also where you will find Mr. Linky. I sure hope you play along this week. I'd love to see how creative your piercing can be. Also that cute little sentiment is just one of many in the printable set called Happy Easter- Inside and Outside Greetings from The Cutting Cafe. There are over 20 sentiments to choose from in the set and they are re-sizeable to suit your needs.

Dancing Daisy

I am trying to use circles more and I am trying to incorporate more spring like colors. Since the card design is on the simple side I decided to add some dry embossing to give it a more textured look. I also paper pierced around the flower petals for a little extra something. The daisy image is from the Dancing Daisies digital set from Fred She Said. What I love about this image is that it can be used for several occassions such as Birthday, Get Well, Thinking of you, Just a note, etc. That and the fact that it can be easily re-sized and printed. This is especially important if you are making several of the same or similar cards. Be sure to stop by the FSS blog for some inspiration and for some great freebies.

Tea Anyone?

The Pixie Challenge this week is to create a 3-D project. The Down the Rabbit Hole collection, newly released, is ready for coloring and trust me these images can handle the bold and bright. Since they are digital images, size doesn't matter *LOL* because you can simply re-size them to fit your needs. The first project is a tin filled with tea. How fun would it be to have tea with the Mad Hatter?




And if tea wasn't enough how about some Mad Hatter snacks?



If you look closely you'll see one of the still pictures from the Alice in Wonderland movie. I printed it from the official Alice in Wonderland site. There are some great pictures to see there. Be sure to check out the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge Blog for some crafty inspiration. Hope you join us this week.

Oh Alice Sketch Challenge

I've discovered a fun challenge blog. Its called Oh Alice...a curious little CHALLENGE blog where nothing is as it seems. They have a fun sketch this week and guess who the sponsor of the challenge is? Pixie Dust Studio. The random challenge winner will get to choose 3 images of their choice from PDS. So of course I had to play along and support Kathy from Pixie Dust Studio. Deppish image seen below is one of the new release images from the Down the Rabbit Hole collection and is my excuse to go bold and bright. The Oh Alice DT projects are spectacular so be sure to take a look.



Here's the fabulous sketch:

Down the Rabbit Hole- NEW RELEASE

I hope you are ready for an amazing new release of digi's. Pixie Dust Studio would like to announce the newest release of images. This collection is called Down the Rabbit Hole and I think its fresh and funky. There are so many ways to use these images and the bolder the better. I decided to go a bit dramatic with Alice so I used a classic color combo that would make Alice stand out in a crowd. I have to say that I am having lots of fun with these images and you'll be seeing more projects soon. My favorite is the Depp inspired image. What can I say I'm a big fan. Be sure to check out the Pixie Dust Studio blog and other DT members fantastic creations. You will not be disappointed.
