It's Time to Get Sketchy at MTMEPPS!

For this week's sketch I chose an image from the Bee-Loved Collection. DP is from the Bee Mine collection. I made the flowers out of satin ribbon. The leaves were punched using a Creative Memories punch. CS is from the Paper Studio. The image was colored with Copic markers.

Stop by the MTME Shop for these elements and many more. You're sure to find something you'll love! The DT has inspiration to share too! Their links are in my sidebar.

Day Two of Sneak Peeks for the "Breeze" Collection at Pixie Dust Studio!

As promised, I have more peeks for you!

This is "Spring Zebra". I pulled a thread from the center of the ribbon and made a ruffle. The flower was gathered and then glued together. 

Next is "Catching a Smile". Isn't she a sweet little fairy! She was colored with Copic markers and accented with Stickles.
Tomorrow is Release Day for the fabulous "Breeze" collection! It will be available in the Pixie Dust Studio then! I'll have more peeks tomorrow, along with a new Pixie Dust Challenge. I hope you'll stop by!

Day One of Sneak Peeks for the "Breeze" Collection from Pixie Dust Studio!

I LOVE the name of this collection! As always, the digis are adorable!
 This image is "Pixie and Peep". The image was colored with Copic markers and accented with Stickles. I found the little butterfly charm in the dollar bin at Michael's. A crocheted flower was placed under the paper rose. The punch is from MS.

This next image is "Shamrock Elf" and he is just perfect for St. Patrick's Day. He was also colored with Copics and accented with Stickles. I had a chain of shamrocks and beads in my stash. I don't even remember where it came from! I cut off one of the shamrocks and hot glued it to the flower. 
Stop by tomorrow, and I'll have more peeks for the "Breeze" Collection! Hope to see you then!

"Case an Old Card" this Week at Pixie Dust Studio!

Do you have a card that you love? I do! When I found out that this week's challenge was to "Case an Old Card", I knew exactly the one I would choose.
My "old" card is on the left. I made it for Easter last year. The image is "Peter the Rabbit" from the Egg Hunt Collection.
My "new" card is on the right. I followed the same LO and placed embellishments in the same place. 
I chose "Miss Studio Priss" from the Steampunk Collection.
I LOVE how both of these cards turned out!

"Use Your Scraps" this Week at Delightful Challenges

I am thrilled to announce that "Edward and Bella's Honeymoon House" won me a Guest Designer spot at Delightful Challenges!
This week's challenge is "Use Your Scraps" so I searched through my HUGE Scrap Box for inspiration.

 I had just enough yellow DP to cover this little wooden bench that has been sitting on a shelf in my Craftroom for over a year. First, I painted the bench yellow with acrylic paint. It's always a good idea to paint the object in case your paper piecing doesn't quite meet, or there are very small areas that you don't choose to cover. I didn't cover the sides of the slats on the bench.

 My Cricut was used to cut out the vines. Then satin roses were hot glued on along with a decorative MS border. 

 The "Happy Easter" sentiment from Digital Delights was just perfect for this project! 

 The same sentiment was used for the tag along with the adorable image "Easter Daisy". 
What's in your scrap box? Take a look and enter your project HERE. You could win a prize or even be chosen as next week's Guest Designer! Stop by the Delightful Challenges Blog to see the amazing projects created by the DT.

Wedding Wishes!

I made this wedding card for my niece who is getting married this month. I wanted something simple and elegant. I used the Lily of the Valley stamp from Papertrey Ink's Year of Flowers. I stamped and embossed them with a heat gun. I like the way it turned out, and I hope my niece will too.
