It's a Pixie Dust Twilight Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Pixie Dust Twilight Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the talented Jess Marin's Blog then you're in the right place. If not, start at the beginning at the Pixie Dust Challenge Blog.

Kathy has done an amazing job on this set of images for "Breaking Dawn".

I chose Forever for my first project.

Every bride and groom needs a cake, so I "baked" Bella and Edward a Paper one! LOL

Close Up of the cake topper.

A side view

The back
I flipped the image, and glued them back to back before placing the topper on the cake. The back needs to look as good as the front!
I used Bazzill white textured CS to make the cake. I found some Paper Studio pink pearl frosted CS and used a MS punch to make the "icing"decorations. It doesn't show well in the photo, but sheer pink organza ribbon has been glued to the top of the border deco on each layer. Tulle and pearl stems were purchased in the bridal section of Hobby Lobby. The flowers were found at Hobby Lobby too. I cut them apart and hot glued them to the cake.

Next, I chose Bella Baby Bump.

This is another page for my "Never Ending Twilight" book. As Kathy makes new images, I make more pages.

The sentiment is from the book Breaking Dawn.

"Spooky" this Week at Pixie Dust Studio!

I didn't think I could make a posting this week. But I can be spooky after all! I somehow managed to stab a safety pin into my thumb! The swelling has gone down, and it's no longer throbbing. Luckily I had most of these elements already colored and decorated, so all I had to do was glue them together. So here is my post...better late than never. This was the centerpiece for a Halloween Baby Shower.

I used My Time Made Easy templates to make the baby buggy and pumpkin: Bouncing Baby Buggy and An Apple a Day. A strip of CS was folded into a triangle and glued to the back of the witch so she could stand.

 I used "Baby Boy" from the Oh, Baby Collection to make a "Punkin Baby".

Day 14 of a Pixie Christmas!

 

Today is Day 14 of a Pixie Christmas! "I is for Inside the Sack".  And look what's inside! An adorable Raggedy Ann doll! I have fond memories of Raggedy Ann dolls. My favorite aunt was an excellent seamstress. Every time one of the neices or nephews welcomed a new little one into the family, my aunt would present them with a handmade Raggedy Ann or Andy doll. My aunt has since passed, so my sister carried on the tradition when my first grandson, her first great nephew, was born. Raggedy Ann and her friends are available in the Pixie Dust Studio now! Hurry on over and take a peek!
