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.

A royal princess

What's the buzz about? A royal wedding of course. That and the latest Pixie Dust Studio release. It's called British Invasion and it is adorable.

They say its all about the dress so I decided to use only the bride portion of the image. I used Crystal Effects and dazzling diamonds glitter to give it more of a glam look. It really is quite lovely up close. The image is called Royal Wedding and it can be found HERE!

I am trying to use my Cricut more so I used the Paisley cartridge to cut out the flowers. What's a wedding without flowers, right?


Here's a close up of the dress:

For the kids

It's Tuesday! It's Tuesday! OK not quite Friday but we are one day closer.

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is all about the kids. All you have to do is make a card for a kid. It's just that easy.

This week's sponsor is My Grafico and they are offering a digi stamp set and20% off a store order to the winner this week. Lots and lots of sets to choose from so be sure to check them out.

For my project this week I chose an adorable Pixie Dust Studio image. It was a great excuse to make a boy themed card. Besides I fell in love with the designer paper....especially since it was in the clearance section. How could I refuse?

I hope you take the Digital Tuesday Challenge this week.

Eat Me, Drink Me

This week's Pixie Dust Studio Challenge is a fun one. I know I always say that but really its true. The challenge is called

"Lets go to the movies"

It is time to put your thinking caps and to make a project that is movie inspired. It can be an image, color combo, you name it. You can play it safe or think outside the box. Either way I hope you join in on the fun this week. I can't wait to see what you
can do. Be sure to head on over to the Challenge Blog to see what the DT came up with this week.

Since I recently watched the Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland I thought I'd take the easy way out and chose that movie to work with.

My first project is a pillow box treat box. I used the Alice image from Pixie Dust Studio. It is part of the Down the Rabbit Hole release.

I created a tea bag holder for my second project. I used the Mad Hatter image called touch of Depp also from the Down the Rabbit Hole collection.

Here's a close-up of the tea bag holder:

And here's a picture of both projects together:

Button Up! Photos Galore!

Happy Happy Tuesday!! Sorry for the delay, my post didn't work as scheduled this morning. We have a great challenge for you this week at the Digital Tuesday Challenge blog and a wonderful sponsor as well.

First let me tell you a little about the challenge. This week's theme is called
"Button up"

Use up some of those buttons you know you have and if you don't have any buttons *gasp* make some. Just remember to use a digital element.

This week's sponsor is The Stamping Boutique and they are offering 5 digital images to the winner of the challenge this week.

If you aren't familiar with this company then you are in a for a real treat. They have some awesome images such as the one shown below:


Digital Image: Bunny Egg

I have a huge wish list that keeps growing and growing. Their images are great for cards and scrapbook pages.

From me to you

As you can see I'm back into the bright colors. I just love red and black together. I haven't made any shaped cards lately so I thought it would be fun to make a ribbon shaped card instead of my usual 4.25 X 5.5 inch cards.

I
used the Ribbon Sentiments and Banner set and Shaped Card set from The Cutting Cafe. I printed the ribbon shaped card template on white cardstock and cut along the lines. The two circle sentiments are from the 1 inch Everyday Sentiments set also from the Cutting Cafe.

The large layered flower was made with my Cricut (The cartridge is called Paisley).
