 Now on to my projects!

I LOVE Blog Hops, and I always try to make something special for them!
Little Red Ridinghood has a special place in my heart. It's one of my favorite Fairy Tales. My very first Halloween costume was... Little Red Ridinghood! I remember the red cape and blue skirt with the yellow trim at the hem. I couldn't wait to wear it. I think I even wore it around the house for a few days!
Little Red NEEDS a basket....Right?

Well I had to make one for her.

 I even put her picture on the front of it so everyone knows that it belongs to her! LOL I hope you aren't tired of seeing this template, but it's one of my favorites. It's from Papertrey Ink and is "Pack a Picnic.

And what's in the basket?

 Why goodies of course! I put twenty mini Hostess blueberry muffins inside and a Vintage handkerchief that I found at an Antique Mall. Just perfect for "Glamorous Granny"!

 See how happy she is? (Couldn't resist showing my Sneak Peek card again.) I used shades of Vintage Red to match the Red Cape theme.
Don't go yet because I have something else to share!

I made an Explosion Box. On the front is the new digi "The Basket". Just soooo cute with a little bird, a rabbit, and a turtle.
 What's inside?

Open the box and there are....

 ...all the digis in this new release!

Big Red the Horse, Peter the Woodcutter, Glamorous Granny...

Cottage in the Trees, Who Is the Big Bad Wolf?, and of course, The Cape (Little Red).
I made mini Spring Cards for the bases so the images would stand up.

 Then I reinforced the back with a small strip of CS.
I thought about gluing them permanently to the collapsible sides so they would fold inside the box....But then I thought it would be more fun if you could actually move the pieces around to tell the story.

I used a leafy green CS from "The Spring Song" Stack by Zoe Pearn.
I think my grandchildren will LOVE this box!

Leave a comment here, and then hop on over to Shelly's Blog to continue the Hop! I know she'll have something fabulous to share! Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in the draw! Pixie Hugs!

Softpencil Studios Officially Opens Today!!!!!

 It's finally here! Softpencil Studios is now open! Check it out HERE!

Did you know that Elizabeth has added Tshirts and Hoodies to her shop? She also has Onesies for babies! You'll find framed and canvas Art work there too!  Many more goodies will soon be added! Don't worry, you can still purchase her digis there, and they are ADORABLE!
As promised last week, I have a 3D project that goes along with the card I made.

I again used "Happy Easter" for this project. It's one of Elizabeth's newest releases, and it's available in the Softpencil Studios now!

The template is from Papertrey Ink : From the Desk Of.  CS is Bazzill, and DP is from the Summer Song  Stack by Zoe Pearn. Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. I also used Scalloped Nesties, a MS punch, and Prima Flowers. In the photo you can see that I also lined the inside of the box.

Here is a closer view of the image. I colored it with Prisma Colored Pencils and Copic Markers.

 

Above is a picture of the container and the card I made last week. Pretty much the same, except I reversed the colors of CS cut with Nesties. Now what will I put in it?  Treats, bath products, flavored coffees, Tea....Decisions, Decisions!

I hope you enjoyed my project this week. The talented DT is anxious to share their creations with you too! Their links are in my sidebar. Happy Crafting!

"Seeing Polka Dots" at Pixie Dust Studio!

I chose "July Pixie" for this week's card. I paper pieced her dress and part of her hat. I think she turned out so cute!

What will you create for this week's challenge? You could win your choice of one of Kathy's adorable digis and a Winner's Badge for your blog! Link your creation HERE. Need inspiration? Check out the blogs of the talented Pixies! Their links are in my sidebar.

It's Release Day for the "Moonbeam Collection" at Pixie Dust Studio!!!

It's finally here! The entire "Moonbeam Collection" is available TODAY in the Pixie Dust Studio!!!

I have one more project to share. I used "Wink on the Moon" to make a gift suitable for a baby shower.

 

The template was designed by Lauren Meader and is available at My Time Made Easy.

 

I made a small enclosure card to go with the buggy. What is so unique about digital stamps,  is that you can reverse the image. That's just what I did for this project. 

I LOVE this image! It's just perfect for a baby or anyone expecting a baby! Toooo cute!

The Pixies have more inspiring projects for you using this collection. Stop by their blogs and see what they have created. You'll be glad you did!
