Pixie Cottage ....Holiday Theme

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a soon to be released image that you can purchase from The Pixie Cottage very soon. My card features the adorable Rudolph sharing his "way too long" Christmas list with Santa. How many of you can relate to Rudolph and his super long Christmas list? When my kids were younger, they would prepare a list similar to Rudolph's. I wonder did they seriously think that Santa was going to deliver everything on their list?



Getting back to The Pixie Cottage's holiday stamps, there are more! Michelle has cute holiday bear images, penguins, and more that can be pre-ordered here . Be sure to stop by each of The Pixie Cottage DT blogs to see more holiday inspiration.

LOTV Thursday Challenge!

Hello Everyone and Happy Thursday!

This weeks LOTV Challenge is to create a card based off the following recipe of 3 papers, 2 stamps (the second stamp can be a sentiment) and one embellishment. If you are one that likes to embellish your cards, this is truly a challenge!



My main design paper is by DCWV and the two smaller pieces are from my scrap bin. Both my image and sentiment are from Lili Of The Valley. I machine stitched around all of my mats and added ribbon to the medium mat. *ribbon does not count as an embellishment and is OK to use* My image is colored in with Copic Markers and embellished with crystal gems by Prima.


As with all LOTV Challenges, you have two weeks to complete your card. You don't have to use LOTV Stamps but if you have them, why not use them. When you are finished with your card, link your creation to LOTV Thursday's Blog. Have fun creating and we can't wait to view your creations.

Have a great day and thank you all so much for stopping by!

Two For Monday!

Hello Everyone,

I had planned to post my cards earlier in the day and would have but I had to stop everything and prepare dinner. One thing about getting away from home is returning to it! I know it sounds kind of funny but there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed.
The weather in the UP was very windy and very cold! Thank goodness I wore my winter coat or I would have froze...seriously! We did have a little scare while on the road though. Due to the high winds, everyone had to drive very slowly across the Mackinac Bridge. It seemed like we were on that bridge forever and I was so glad to see dry land again! I'm all done with any thoughts of crossing the "Mighty Mack" until later next year.

My first card is for two challenges....Roses On Paper and Whiff Of Joy. This weeks Roses On Paper Challenge is to make a Christmas Card and the Whiff Of Joy Challenge is to make a card using the colors red and cream plus one additional color. Speaking of Roses On Paper, I didn't make the GDT this round. I feel little "blue" but heck, I'm not the type of girl that stays "blue" for long....... I'll get over it.


Although I am scared to death of mice, I'm not afraid of Henry! Henry's coat is a soft brown combined with the colors red, cream and my choice third color is green.

card details.........stamp and sentiment WOJ, c/s Papertrey Ink, dp Graphic 45, Nestie med. oval and scallop die, Copic Markers, ribbon, button and Sparkles and Prima "Say It In Pearls".

My second is card is just because.........


Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and the boys have a dentist appointment after school. I already know that after running around town that I'm going to be super tired when I finally settle down.



So.....with Melinda Musing Angel in mind, I'm wishing everyone a perfect day! I'm behind on my blogging duties and need to get caught up. Take care and thank you all so very much for stopping by. I appreciate each and everyone of your comments:)
