"Let's Play!"this Week at Pixie Dust Studio!

Create a card or project this week using your favorite sport as inspiration. I'm not really a sports fan. But I do LOVE to watch ice skating on TV. It's such a graceful sport! I didn't have an ice skating digi.

I chose a cheerleader! She's "Rah, Rah" from The Fair Collection. Just imagine that this is her costume and she's ready to perform on the ice! LOL  I did dress her in my alumni college colors.
What's your favorite sport?  Choose a digi to represent it and enter our challenge! Upload your card or project HERE for a chance to win the Pixie Dust Studio digi of your choice and a Star Winner's Badge for your blog! If you need some digis, stop by the Pixie Dust Studio! Kathy has many to choose from! The Pixies have all chosen their favorite sports. Stop by their blogs, and be inspired!

"Say It Out Loud" this Week at Pixie Dust Studio!

This week's "Say It Out Loud" Challenge at Pixie Dust Studio is an easy one! Just add a sentiment to your card or project. I chose the image "The Royal Queen" from The British Invasion Collection. Stickles were added to her dress to make it festive, but you'll need to double click if you want a closer look. I love her white gloves. It reminds me of when I was a little girl, and a new outfit was not complete without a pair of white cotton gloves that barely touched the wrist bone. LOL Am I dating myself, or what!! I actually used a rubber stamp (GASP) on this card! It's the frame around the sentiment from Inkadinkado. The sentiment was printed on my computer and cut out using a Creative Memories circle punch.
What will you create for this week's challenge? Need some ideas? Check out the blogs of our fabulous DT! Their links are in my sidebar. Need some digis? Stop by the Pixie Dust Studio and see what's new! The Egg Hunt Collection is in the Studio just in time for Easter!

I'm "Watering My Garden" at Softpencil Studios!

Hi, and welcome to Softpencil Tuesday!
This week the DT is featuring one of Elizabeth's cute new images "Watering my Garden". I decided to make a Mother's Day card. Flowers are the perfect gift for the holiday. I added Recollection Roses. I also glittered the flower that comes with the image and added a rhinestone to the center as well as to the ribbons on little Amy's braids.

Have you stopped by the Softpencil Studios or the Red Bubble Shop yet? Take a peek, and you are in for a treat! Elizabeth has images available on T-shirts, hoodies, kids' and baby clothes, Art prints, and stickers, in addition to digital images.

Oh, Baby!

I found this adorable template for a baby shoe on the Splitcoast Stampers Site. I made it out of Bazzill CS and added some lace trim from Hobby Lobby. A button, ribbon, Velcro fastener, and a rose were all it took! I made a little tag to go with, and lined the inside of the shoe with the same DP as the tag.

Inside is a pair of infant socks size 0-6 months. Just perfect as a baby shower or new baby gift.

It's Release Day for "Egg Hunt" and a Challenge at Pixie Dust Studio!

It's finally here! It's Release Day at Pixie Dust Studio for the "Egg Hunt" Collection! 
The digis are in the Studio and available for purchase now!
I have one more peek for you. 

This is "Princess Coffee". Isn't she cute! 

I made a coffee cup for her. I used the template "To Go" from My Time Made Easy. This week's Pixie Dust Challenge is "Lace It Up". Add lace to your card or project.  

I found some felt butterfly lace in the dollar bin at Michael's, so I added it to the bottom of the cup and to the lid. The butterfly is a MS punch.

"Princess Coffee" comes with TWO sentiments! I chose "Latte love to you" and I made a tag to go with the cup. The other sentiment is "Something to Perk You Up".

This image is perfect for a coffee lover, and I know just who I am sending this gift set to! My daughter, Jen, LOVES coffee. I'm going to fill the cup with Lindor Chocolate Truffles and enclose a gift card to Starbucks. 
How will you use lace for this week's "Lace it Up" Challenge? Need some inspiration? Check out the Pixies' blogs. They will give you lots of ideas! their links are in my sidebar. Link your project HERE for a chance to win a digi of your choice and a Winner's Badge for your blog. If you need some images stop by the Pixie Dust Studio. You'll be glad you did!

It's Day One of Sneak Peeks for the "Egg Hunt" at Pixie Dust Studio!

Are you ready for Easter? The Pixies are! We've got lots to share this week! Thursday is Release Day for the "Egg Hunt" Collection in the Studio, and I have some Sneak Peeks for you!

Here is "Peter the Rabbit". I am in LOVE with this image! I found the DP at Archiver's, and it reminded me of Beatrix Potter's drawings, so I knew it would be perfect with this adorable image. Peter just looks so cute and cuddly! I even made a little tag from the DP with Peter's family! LOL

Creative Cowgirls: Easter, Spring
When I was a little girl my mother always made me a new outfit for Easter. Then it was time to go shopping for a hat to match. 

 This image brought back those childhood memories. It's "My Little Lambs". Doesn't the little girl look adorable in her Easter bonnet! I also got to use my brand new MS punch on this card. I wove ribbon through the center.
