What's your Favorite Animal? Pixie Wants to Know!

When I was a little girl, I wanted a pony. I got to ride a pony occasionally at a church picnic in the summer. My family used to go for rides in the car on weekends. We frequently drove past a farm called "Pony Heaven". It  always sounded like such a magical place! Well, I never got a pony, but I do have a favorite pony digital stamp!

This is "Plushie the Pony" from the Toy Box Collection. Isn't he adorable! You can find Plushie and other cute animal digis in the Pixie Dust Studio.

It's Time for Another Sketch at MTMEPPS!

Happy Chinese New Year! Did you know that this year is the "Year of the Dragon"? It's the luckiest year in the Chinese calendar! Both my husband and my youngest daughter were born in Dragon years. My oldest daughter and I were both born in Rat years....Not too happy about that :(  My oldest son was born in a Dog year and my youngest son in a Tiger year. To find out which Animal year you were born in, Go HERE.

I made a card to celebrate the New Year using images and good luck signs from the So Fortunate Digital Stamp Collection. DP is from the Color Infusion Collection. I ruffled some Organza ribbon from Hobby Lobby and hot glued it to the card.
This is the sketch. I hope you'll join us for this week's challenge! You can link your project HERE Sketch Keyword is MTMEPPS45. Need more inspiration? Check out the blogs of the amazingly talented DT. Their links are in my sidebar.

Day Two of Sneak Peeks for "Love Struck" at Pixie Dust Studio!

It's Day Two of Sneak Peeks for Kathy's newest collection Love Struck! I have FOUR Peeks for you today!  I had so much fun with these images!

 This image is "Pixie Valentines". I colored her with Copics and Prisma Pencils which I then blended with a Copic blender. I made the flower myself out of Organza ribbon.

Next is "Conversation Hearts". I think it's so cute that they have little speech ballons! LOL

"Tree of Love" is the next image that I'm sharing. There is a little heart "carved" into the tree. 

"Soaring" is my last peek for today.
I hope you've enjoyed my peeks for Love Struck. I still have one more image to share tomorrow. I'm also using it for this week's challenge.

Anyone Else Have this Problem????

Dear Blogger Friends,
Has anyone received a message when trying to upload a picture on the Layout Section of your blog saying that you have no more storage space? Then I was directed to a page to purchase more space. I did go into my online Picasa album and deleted some pictures and then I was able to upload a picture in the LO section. I had no idea that Blogger allowed only a certain amount of space. Has anyone else purchased more space, or did you just start a new blog some place else?
