Go Green! and a freebie alert!

"Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This week's Pixie Dust Studio Challenge is: LET'S GO GREEN!

Interpret "green" as you like: create a monochromatic green card, recycle something for your card/project or just use something green. As you can see I took green literally and don't think I could have gone any greener.


I decided to create a multi image card for this challenge. I combined three different Pixie images : February Pixie, March Pixie and August Pixie. They can be found in the shop under the Pixie of the Month section HERE!

Don't forget to head on over to the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge Blog to see some fabulous DT inspiration. That's also where you'll find the place to link up your "Go Green" project. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

FREE IMAGE ALERT:

I also wanted to let you know that Kathy is generously giving away a free image. It's called Sweet Japanese Princess and she is adorable. Head on over to the Pixie Dust Studio blog HERE to grab it while you can.

Some Odd Girl Challenge

It's been awhile since I made a card using a Some Odd Girl
image. Their images are just my style - cute and sweet.


I made this card for the Some Odd Girl Challenge. The challenge theme is "Think Spring."

I don't know about you but I am definitely ready for warmer weather and sunshine. I decided to use the Sunny Tia image for my card. She is part of the March 1st release. Isn't she adorable in her orange and green outfit?

I created the background paper by printing the Clock Background from The Cutting Cafe on Kraft paper. I'm glad I decided to print it out on a full sheet of cardstock because it is a lot more versatile than I first thought.

Here's how the card ended up:

I used a circle punch and punched out one of the clock faces to add a little dimension to the background. It's hard to see on the picture but it looks really neat IRL (In real life).

The theme of the hop is The Cape. It is the latest Pixie Dust Studio release. It is based on the upcoming movie Little Red Riding Hood. In order to be eligible to win the entire release you must leave a comment on every blog along your way. You'll find plenty of inspiration throughout.

I chose the image called The Cape for my project. Vibrant red seems to suit this sweet little Pixie. I just hope she looks out for the Big Bad Wolf. Here's a close-up of the image:


I've created a house shaped card using my Cricut.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

See previous post for the winner of last week's Digital Tuesday Blog Hop giveaway.

This week
Robyn's Fetish is sponsoring the challenge. They are giving away 5 digi images or 4 digi images and 1 paper pack (winners choice).

This week's challenge theme is Welcome Little One. We are asking you to make a baby card. For my card I used 3 digital images: Cute litte baby, sentiment (The Cutting Cafe - Huge baby circle set and the clock background set). To customize the background and to add a little interest to the card, I printed it on kraft cardstock. I may try printing it on pink or light blue cardstock next time.

As you can see, I mixed and matched several different designer papers. It's nice to be able to use up some of my paper scraps- as it is a never ending pile. I hope you join in on the challenge this week. It never hurts to have a baby card around.

Seeing Polka Dots

Click HERE for the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog Hop

Are you up for a challenge? How about a fun Pixie Dust Studio challenge? This week's theme is called "seeing polka dots" I used one of the new moonbeam images for my project this week.

I decided that this sweet little pixie needed blue hair. Don't you agree? She also looked like a gal that could not only handle polka dots but a cute little hounds tooth outfit as well.

Be sure to head on over to the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge blog to see the fabulous DT creations this week. They are truly amazing.

The sentiment is from a set called Beautiful Flowers Colored Set from The Cutting Cafe. The set includes 77 images. Wow!!! Lots to choose from and colored versions too.

If that's not enough to tempt you to head on over to The Cutting Cafe....how about a mention of several new sets currently available such as a book box template, bike printable sets, sentiment sets and so much more.
