Pixie Wants to Know, "What Are Your Favorite Things?"

                         Bright colored ribbons and templates for cutting,
                         Punches for borders, dry paper embossing.
                         Pixie Dust Fairies with beautiful wings.
                         These are a few of my favorite things!

                          When the rain falls,
                          When the wind blows,
                          When I'm feeling sad,
                          I simply go play with my Pixie Dust digis,
                          And then I don't feel so bad!

OK I love PD fairies but I didn't use one on the basket because I made it before I "rewrote" the song.

 I chose the image "Bella and Buster" to make an Easter basket using the template "Berry Sweet Basket" from My Time Made Easy.

 Here is a closeup of the border punch and ribbon.

Day Two of Sneak Peeks for "Bunny Tales"!

As promised, I have more peeks for Pixie Dust Studio's newest collection "Bunny Tales". These images were so much fun to play with! I made Easter gifts for my grandkids using two of the images.

"Bunny Walter" and "Bunny Dolly" are just tooo cute! "Bunny Walter comes with "Woof" popping out of an Easter egg. The eggs on the Nesties circle were cut from digital paper from My Time Made Easy, Spreading Spring Cheer.

I took "Woof" away from Walter (sorry about that) and placed him on the milk cartons and the back of the holder.
Here is a closer look at the cartons. They will be just perfect to fill with Easter candy! This template was designed by Lauren Meader for Papertrey Ink, and is called Milk Made. It's part of the My Timeless Templates Collection.

 The cartons fit perfectly inside the holder. The border and butterflies are MS punches. 
 Hubby had an observation about the props in my photo shoot.

Hubby:  "Don't leave those eggs in the sunroom too long. I don't want them to melt."
                     Me:   "Melt?'
                Hubby:  "Yeah, they're chocolate, aren't they?"
                    Me:  "They're styrofoam! Did you ever see chocolate eggs with ribbons attached?" LOL 
 I have one more peek for you today! 

This image is "Bunny Tails". I paper pieced the little bunnies and made a circle easel card. 

Here's a look at the inside. The bottom of the top circle rests against the border and props the card open. I found the little felt flowers in the Dollar Bin at Michael's. I LOVE a bargain! Styrofoam eggs are from The Dollar Tree.

Tomorrow is Release Day for Bunny Tales! I'll have more peeks for you along with a new challenge! I hope you'll stop by! Visit the rest of the Pixie team, and see their peeks for this collection. Their links are in my sidebar.
