For my next project I used the remaining three images from the Asian Collection. The images are: Asian Princess, Asian Prince, and Cherry Blossom. I used the template, Wonderfully Wrapped, from My Time Made Easy.

It's a 3 DP Challenge at Pixie Dust Studio!

Use THREE Designer Papers for this week's challenge. Never used three DPs before? Here's how. First choose a main color. (I chose pink.) Pull out a stack of papers in the same color family. Now mix and match pattern sizes. I chose one small, one medium, and one larger. Try different sizes together and see how they look. All too big? Your eye has no where to focus. All too small? they tend to all blend together. Lay them out and move them around until you find three that are just right.
I chose the image "Flower Power Pixie" from Pixie's Favorite Things Collection. Stop by the Studio and choose your favorite image for this week's "3 DP" Challenge. Enter your project HERE for a chance to win a Pixie Dust image of your choice and Pixie Star Award for your blog. If you need more inspiration, visit the Pixies! Their links are in my sidebar.

It's Sketch Time at MTMEPPS!

You have a choice this week. Choose one of  six sketches: 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, or 40.
I chose #34. Visit the MTMEPPS Blog to choose your sketch. Visit the Shop's main page to see the NEW images and papers I chose.
Something else is new at MTMEPPS. Sketch challenges will now be every other week.  With summer's busy schedules, you'll now have TWO weeks to complete your project!
 Won't you join us for this week's challenge? We would love to see what you create! You can link your project HERE Need more inspiration? Check out the blogs of the amazingly talented DT. Their links are in my sidebar.
