Pixie Dust Studio Sneak Peek

I made two Sneak Peek cards using images from the In the Meadow new release on Thursday March 18th from Pixie Dust Studio. It images I chose to work with are an adorable boy and girl. Arn't they fantastic? I colored the images with Copic Markers.

For the little boy, I used DP from Cosmo Cricket and cardstock from PTI. I added machine stitching for definition. I added twine and buttons to embellish my card. I made this card with inspiration from the Stamptacular Sunday Sketch challenge. I used a border punch by Martha Stewart.

I colored my little girl image with Copic Markers. I used K&Co. DP and Bazzil Cardstock. I used another Martha Stewart border punch and embellished my card with ribbon, pearls, rhinestones and an acrylic charm. This card was inspired by the Card Positioning Systems Sketch challenge from Sunday.

Make sure you take a look at the Pixie Dust Studio Blog and Store and see all the great things there are for inspiration! You never know what a little magic and pixie dust will do!

Fred She Said/Project Tuesday Challenge

I made a tri-fold pocket card for the Project Tuesday Challenge. The image is "Hunney Bunneh" from Fred She Said. I colored my image with Copic Markers and added accents with a white opague pen. DP is from K&Co. and cardstock is from Bazzil. Lots of machine stiching was added along with various sentiments from the $1 section of Michaels. I used Spellbinders basic rectangles and circles and their corresponding scallops for my die cuts. I added buttons from PTI.

This is such a fun project. A wonderful way to give gift cards or just tell someone you love them.

Maddies AKC Weekend

Went to the AKC Agility trial this weekend in Scottsdale, AZ. This was a huge dog show. There was Conformation, obedience and agility all going on at the same venue! Lots and lots of dogs and people. The first day the weather was beautiful. It quickly deteriorated. I slipped and fell once and Maddie began to slide around a little so, I pulled her from a run. The last day was cancelled due to rain. The agility field looked more like a dock diving venue! We got what we came for...our final excellent jumpers Q and her title. Panda stayed at home. She was not happy about it. I just could not subject her to all of the stress and strain that this venue has. She is still too green.
