YNS Blog Hop Time

Well the time has come once again for another fun Blog Hop with YNS and we would love you to join us!

Wait till you see the fab new releases and what the talented DT Starlets have done with them. You can view and now purchase the new release here .
I have used the Grasshopper, Giraffe, Bee & Squirrel for my creations. My 1st project is a simple Gift Bag from a template I downloaded from the wonderfully talented Maria Bell's blog 'Stamping Inspirations'. I added a piece of giraffe patterned paper and coloured the Giraffe stamp using my Copics.

This next project is one I will certainly be using again as I think it is such a quirky idea. Again I got the idea from Maria and you can find the tutorial here (I just love her stuff). I made the sentiment up myself and coloured the Grasshopper with Copics.

The Paper clips are so simple and quick to make using nesties and these look so effective.

The Hop will be running from today until Dec 14th midnight (EST). Here is what is up for grabs:

#1 - There will be 1 grand prize winner – random draw – to qualify you must comment on all the blogs including Karen's and let us know which new release stamp is your favourite.

#2 - The winner gets to pick 6 new release stamps – YAY!

#3 - Karen will be kindly offering a free stamp or stamp set of choice from the store with a purchase of $55 or more.
How fab is that! Now if you have arrived here from the wonderful Karen's blog then you are on the right track and your next stop is the fabulously talented Maureen.
Good Luck all and have fun on this fab hop ;0)

Pixie Dust Studio Release Day!

Well Today is super exciting because it's release day over at Pixie Dust Studio! I'm sure you will fall in love with the 1st ever Pixie Dust Studio digital stamp set.

Here is a little note from Kathy the fabulously talented illustrator and owner of Pixie Dust Studio Designs:

The Studio is very busy and full of fun and Confetti. Pixie has invited some special friends to join her... Mr.Flake and Mrs.Crystal the Snow Couple and Dear Holly Day.! Of course what is a Confetti Party without our Princess Squeak..the sweetest mouse in all of the Studio. She has baked many cookies..her favorite being The GINGERS. She always places them in a gingham lined basket for the perfect "look". The sweet Tweets fluttering about seem to love the Gingers too!! Pixie Pie and Wink are delighted to also celebrate the most important Birthday ever.. they do hope you will join them! Pixie Pie and Wink are getting ready to go on an adventure. Please join them in December..bring your walking shoes and a snack!

Please be sure to check out the wonderful creations from the DT the links can be found on my sidebar on the left.

I was super excited to make a 'Diorama card' and I thought the 'Happy Birthday Jesus' image would work perfectly for it to create a nativity scene.

The circle sentiment was perfect for this card and it is from a set called 'Christmas circles set 2' from The Cutting Cafe'. It was so easy and fun to make this card and I will definitely be making more.

I found the fabulous tutorial here on Maria Bell's blog (she is one super talented lady). If you have a look a couple of posts down I used the same image for a gift bag. I love to see how the same image is used differently.

Pixie Dust Sneak peek.....

Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow is a very exciting day over at Pixie Dust Studio because it is release day of the brand new Christmas Confetti images! All week the Paper Pixies have been doing sneak peeks on their blogs and they really have come up with the most beautiful creations. Now be sure to check in over at the Pixie Dust Studio Blog tomorrow because if you leave a comment then Kathy is kindly having a FREE STAMP GIVE - AWAY and you really wouldn't want to miss out on that ;0) Also don't forget to visit the brand new Pixie Dust Challenge blog on the 19th where we kick off with our very 1st Pixie challenge and you may find a little surprise ;0)

Here I have used 'Happy Birthday Jesus' and I think this stamp is so wonderful. It really reflects what Christmas is really all about. I thought the stamp was just right to use on a gift bag and it was so easy to make. All I did was snip the top off a paper bag and then add 2 pieces of card roughly the same size and then I used my craft knife to cut out a rectangle shape at the top for my handle. I added some Christmas paper and ribbon and used the circle sentiment from a new set from The Cutting Cafe' called 'Christmas Gift Tags'. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend;0)

Time to meet the Anime Team

Well here is what I've been terribly excited about sharing with you and it is that I have been selected to be part of the Anime DT for InStyle Stamps!!!!

Please check out all the new DT members on my sidebar and you will see how talented they are.
Now this cute little bag was one of the creations I made when I submitted my DT application and I think it is so pretty.

Ava is so delicate and feminine and you can choose from different designs over at InStyle and right now there is a huge sale on where you can choose almost any digi or stamp for a great price ;0) I coloured Ava prior to purchasing my Copics and used my Coloursoft pencils and Sansodor and then added some Glamour Dust to her wings. The cute little heart bag is a file from The Cutting Cafe' and the paper is a download called Nana's Wallpaper from FunkyFairys.

Now on to some sad news my time with FunkyFairys has come to the end and I will surely miss all the girls on the team they have all been wonderful to work with and Shaz has been fab to design for so Thank you girls for making my time at FF's so enjoyable and keep up the great work :) My DT term is almost up too with MyGrafico and if you check out the Challenge blog the details are up for the new DT if you would like to apply ;0)

You will not only find a delightful selection of digis but also Pixie portraits, Pixie pocket pals, Paper dolls and more!
Now the card below is using Pixie Pie and her pal wink and I'm sure you will agree they make such sweet pair. The card is a double pocket fold card and you can find the tutorial here at SCS.

I decided to put Pixie and her pal on a bookmark and searched for a Children's bedtime quote to go beneath it. I cut the digi and quote with my Classic rectangles (long) nesties and then used the scalloped one to layer it on to.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and as you can see I used my Copics for the second time............(not sure if I'm actually getting any better) but I'm loving using them ;0) Please check out the Wonderful DT links can be found on my sidebar and check out what they have done with Pixie and her pal too. Stay tuned because we are currently trying to get a Pixie Dust Challenge blog set up which will be lot's of Pixie fun ;0)
