"No Lion!" ;) It's Release Day at PDS!

Hi! YAY for Friday!  That means it's release day at Pixie Dust Studio with the new Pixie of Oz release!  You might have seen a few sneaks and we're so excited that today the wonderful Pixie of Oz series is available in the shop :)

Introducing .... Courage the Lion!

For today's card, I tried something a little different - a "sepia" no coloring technique.  My 12 y/o daughter had some of her friends over making a faux Constitution and Bill of Rights for a school project and we had to do 'tea-dying'.   On a whim, I decided to try it with a digi image printed on white PTI cardstock and love the look that it had ~ so I continued the vintage, circa 50's feel to this one with muted colors of cream and beige.  The ribbon is one I have had from scrapbooking and overall, this was an interesting technique to try! 

Here is the entire release in one glance ..........

And another look :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

If you get a chance to stop by the challenge blog,

I'm going Round and Round ...

Hi!  It's Day 2 of the Pixie Dust Studio sneaks AND a brand new weekly challenge starts today!  For my sneak peek today, I used Pixie D and Prince Toto :)  And the new challenge of the week is .........  "Going Round and Round!" Circle theme - think polka dots and layers of circles!  

I just love this Pixie D with her expressive eyes and sweet little dog, Prince Toto!   I gave her some ruby red slippers and think all of us dreamed of these magical ruby slippers when we were little girls!  To keep with the new challenge this week, I made this sneak peek with circular patterned paper - all 3 pieces have polka dots on them, added a button for a little textural element and some brads and voila!  This card was so quick to come together as I'm sooo inspired by this new Pixie of Oz release!  I hope you can stop by on Friday for release day, you won't want to miss it!

If I only had a brain ...... PDS sneak!

Ohhhhhh am I just giddy - GLEE returned to tv tonight!  It was worth the wait and I just loved the coincidental duo with Rachel and Kurt singing "Ding, Dong - the witch is dead" from the Wizard of Oz -- superb! 

And there's more! Today I have my very own Oz card to share :)  The Pixie of Oz sneaks from Pixie Dust Studio start today and they are absolutely adorable!  For my first sneak, I used "Brainy" and he's just a delight to color.  I remember watching the WOZ over and over as a child and am just tickled to see it again here in digi form!  I tried to keep him as close to the original movie as possible yet also colored him to match Fall colors and designed the card to do the same to give it a Autumnal feel.  I even used a smidge of rafia for my "hay" :)

Without further delay, here is Brainy, the Pixie of Oz scarecrow! 

Be sure to stop in tomorrow to see another Sneak Peek from this delightful

new Pixie Dust Studio series!

Riley's Lots and Lots of Layers ...

Evening!  It's time for another Riley and Company Challenge - this week it's brought us by DT Member, Heather!  Her challenge this week is to  create a distressed/shabby chic card with at least 7 layers (matts are counted as a layer) but the more layers the better!   Absolutely my fave style card to make - lots and lots of layers!  :) 

I used Coffee Riley for my card this week - perfect for me :)   I paper-pieced the chair that Riley is sitting on to match the dsp I used for the card backdrop.   This card was SO much fun to make!  I left the inside blank with just a tiny pocket to add a coffee gift card at a later date.

I also distressed the edges of the cardstock and dsp with sandpaper and just love the soft, Parisian feel to this card.  Thanks, Heather, for the wonderful inspiration to create this Riley card this week :) 

Remember, you can link up your distressed/shabby chic/layered cards here on the Challenge blog.  If you use a gallery to upload your card, please remember to use code Riley1911 so we can find you and leave you some love :)  You can also stop on over at the blog and see what the DT have created using this wonderful theme this week!   Happy crafting!

Disney and a Peace 'n Quiet card :)


Helllllo blogging friends!  Happy Monday to you! :)  We are home from Disney and had an absolute fabulous time, albeit a short getaway.   We are so blessed to live close enough to hop over for the weekend and we enjoyed every second of lil man's birthday weekend - his face was just as priceless as can be because he knew we were celebrating HIM.   On every ride, I would shout out over the noise "Happy Birthday, T!" - except Space Mountain was in the middle of a drop so it sounded something like "Happy Birthyeeeeeeawwwwwwwwomgoooooooooooooooosh!" ;)  Dh asked him several times if he was having fun and his answer?  "Of course! I'm in Disney World!"   That pretty much says it all :)



Disney and Peace 'n Quiet?   I know, quite the oxymoron!  LOL!  Actually the P 'n Q is from my card - I bought this Penny Black stamp when it was first released - I knew I *had* to have it!  It's perfect for memories of my past (brother!) and my wee one's now.  I didn't get the chance to ink it up til this past week.



I remember trying to set up a toy section for lil man on the dining room table but wanted him to be surprised - so the only thing I thought of was to tell my oldest daughter that I was going to send him down the hall to her room.  I told her to keep an eye out for him and to entertain him until I called for him.  She gave me a wink and a "cool!" and then I told him something I won't soon forget - just playing around.  She came down the hall a few seconds later and asked "what did you say to him?  He's all sad and distraught!  He said "Mommy said to get out of her hair for a little while, but I don't know why - I wasn't anywhere near her head!"   Oooooooops!  Yes, I felt SO VERY BAD!  That was one of those mommy-isms that you wish you could rewind and can't ;)  Well, I had that fiasco in mind when creating this lil card!



Here's the front:

And that was our happy little weekend!  It's good to be home even though the week ahead looks like I'll need a personal planner just to get through it all!

Dueling Darlings are going Back To School!

Happy Almost Weekend!   Today's post is for the Dueling Darlings Divas -vs- Dazzlers!  This month, our hostess for the Darlings was Jamie and she sent us a darling card kit with a Back to School theme :)  Jamie sent us a few different school images to use - a backback, a small stamped bus and a crayon and I just loved this backpack image!  The word design is just ingenious.   Jamie's kit was just so much fun -- although my card does not make me happy, lol - it didn't turn out the way I envisioned but it was so much fun to go back to school with all the paper, embellies and fabby sentiments she sent us! Now, the funny thing - I love the inside more :)  I think the quote standing alone just really makes a statement - go figure!
Also, Jamie is a brand new NAVY MOM!  Her son recently completed basic training and is heading to Japan to report for duty - be sure to stop by and give her a shout out! Blessings to our military and all they do for us :)

Here is my Back to School card from the front:  lighting is terrible, I'm so sorry! :(



Sneaky peek at all the layers and dimension;)



Inside of the card ~ such a great quote!

Jamie also asked us to share our favorite school memory ~ in my case, I LOVED school from grade level all the way to Grad school!  It was a happy time for me, but one incident in particular that stands out for me was a field trip that we took.   In Kindergarten, we took a field trip to a fire station and it had a huge fish pond in the front filled with koi fish and plants.  There were two boisterous boys in my class that double dog dared me to put my feet into the pond.   I grew up a tomboy, and I wasn't one to pass up a dare!  Mind you, we had been warned by the firemen and our teacher to stay away from the pond, but did I listen?  Ummmmm.   I not only put my feet in, but I did a huge belly flop right smack into the middle of it.  Needless to say, the kids erupted in laughter, the boys stood there with their mouths hanging open, and the firemen, my teacher and later my mom (who had to bring dry clothes for me to change into) were all steaming mad.   I went from nerdy bookworm to uber cool status in like a nano-second, even if just for a little while ;)  I still remember that like it was yesterday!  So does my mom .... but I digress!

Want to see what the other Divas made with this identical kit?  It's too cute!  You can see them here:

Jamie  *  Barb  *  Carol  *  LJ   *   Joan  *  Judy   *  Tami

And to see what the dazzlers created, you can start at this blog and see their kits!

Thanks for stopping by today!  We are off to Disney so I wish you a fabulous weekend!

Trash to Treasure - Recycling with PDS!

Hi friends!  Another busy week here and it's only Tuesday! I'm working my son's school book fair this week, my girl's have had choral meetings and Open House, and we leave for Disney World on Friday and I'm so not ahead of schedule!  I need a Venti S'Bux latte x4 right about now ...... lol!  

How about some trash turned to treasure in card form?  How cool is that!  The theme this week at Pixie Dust Studio Challenge blog  is to recycle.   For my card, I actually used 5  recycled items (there are actually 4, but one was used twice - just turned inside out)  Can you guess what they are?  :)

For today's card, I used the Miss Music digi paired with soft yellow paper and ....... recycled item #1 - a Baby Gap bag!  I used the brown as a backdrop paper for the card/image and then flipped it to use the inside as a DSP.   The matching ribbon is the handle of the bag - pretty neat stuff!  Items #4 are the buttons I found in the bottom of my sewing box and the 5th is a corrugated piece of Starbucks coffee sleeve that I added under my sentiment.  I cut strips of the bag freehand and  left them wonky on purpose and distressed the edges to give it more texture.  This sure was a fun card to make, I'm really pleased with it :)

So here is the bag I started with that became my base (brown) paper - you can't see the inside, but it's the striped paper you see on the card :) 

The inside of my card :)

Close up of Miss Music!



We'd LOVE to see what recycled items you used for your card.  Remember to upload your
cards to the Challenge blog.  I'd also love to tell you that you can find some of PDS's digis on sale right here in the shop! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Remembering 9/11 ~ Peace be with you ...

Today I heard a radio announcer say that "everyone remembers what they were doing on 9/11 ~ How could we ever forget?"   I know we never will ...  I remember being in a gymboree class with my 3rd daughter and someone came running in, screaming and crying saying terrorists were bombing buildings and airplanes ... there we were, all us moms with infants on our hips, knee deep in paint and playdoh and bouncing balls.  I raced out of there and went straight to my other 2 daughter's schools and waited nearly an hour with throngs of other parents.  I think we all felt so vunerable, in disbelief and in sheer despair for our countrymen.  But truly our homage goes to those that were closest to this tragedy on that day -  and I'm so proud of how our country came together in the face of adversity, stood united together and reminded us all that we love our country and it's people.   I have the utmost respect for all of the heroes of this day - past and present, those with us and those in heaven.   God be with you all today as we reflect on this 10 year anniversary - Peace be with you all.

I wanted to make a card for today's special post and love the digis from K n K Designs.   Her images are so adorable.  This one actually came from the OWH site where it is a freebie and also available to try on her store.  This humble card will go in the stack that I have ready for mailing to OWH - I try to have a monthly mailing but have been failing in that area since the summer, soon to be corrected!  To read about OWH and their mission statement, click here :)



Inside of the card - I'm thankful!

And here is a video to share with you on this day - to reflect, to remember, to warm the heart.

Thanks for stopping by today - and may September 11th be a moment of reflection in whatever way is comforting to you.  I look forward to tomorrow's sermon as I know it will be one filled with love and respect and much faith for a country that will truly never forget.

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings,

~Kelly

Birthday Boy! :)

Whew, what a week! I'm so glad it's Friday, though I haven't stopped for a second since 6:45 am this morning - LOL!  Today is our little man's 7th birthday and oh boy, what an exciting day so far!  He woke up bright and early shouting "It's my birthday!" (not that we would ever, ever forget our miracle boy's birthday!) He's a blessing in so many ways!

We're celebrating his birthday in Disney next week (his sisters have a chorus workshop and auditions tomorrow) so tonight is restaurant of his choice and a stack of presents, including a beautiful new bike.  We've had it hidden in our walk-in closet for a week!  Thank goodness hide 'n seek doesn't include there - tee hee!

Here we are today at his school pizza party - what a fun day :) 

Okay, I'm rambling!  I stopped in for a second to post the winner of yesterday's blog hop candy winner -- and the winner of the stamp is lucky #15 - Angie!   

Angie said...   Perfect Fall card!! She is so cute and thanks for the blog candy,

Hey, Baby!

 Hi there! Another whirlwind, non-stop, action packed week of driving to and from the schools, activities and everything in between!  My little man's birthday is this week and he's been sooo excited about his special day coming up :)  And I'm super excited to stop in and tell you that I have a double blog post today so here we go!  I've been crafting and catching up, although in the wee hours of the morn'.   First up, we have Pixie Dust Studio new challenge of the week:  It is a Boy or Is it a girl?  It's baby card challenge time at the blog!

I was super excited to color up this digi called Baby Bun Bun - cuteness!  I used one of my absolute fave SU dsp called "Bella Rose" and wish I had stocked up on many of these!  I also went for a non-traditional look to my card, purposely chosing a cocoa, green and pink card to of set all the pink hues.  I gave it a simple sentiment as well and propped up the balloon with a 3d dot and voila! 

But wait!  Before you go, I wanted to remind you that Pixie's Bookshelf has a brand new book for September - want to know what Pixie's Book of the Month is?  You'll have to stop by HERE, the bookshelf and take a peek!  I already have my copy on order at my local library and can't wait to get started :)

Hola!  There's a brand new Riley change today and the theme this week is brought to us by DT member, Juliet!  Her challenge for us for this bi-weekly challenge is ....

"to show us your school/team spirit!   With the start of school, the football and hockey season, or postseason baseball... make something that shows spirit for either a school or Sport team ie: (your alma mater, kid's highschool, using your favorite sports team colors/riley sport stamps, etc)."  If you upload your card to a gallery or your blog, use the keyword1811. 

And YAY!!  My layers are back! Lots and lots and lots of LAYER!!! :) :) For my card, I went with the colors of my son's soccer team - orange, teal and white (yep, just like our Miami Dolphins!)   I followed the sketch from the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge  sketch and added a sentiment pennant flag banner as the sentiment.  I think this will be a cute addition to his scrapbook pages later, too! 

Here is the Riley and Company Challenge blog if you'd like to play

SOTC CAS = FALL!

Do you speak T-E-X-T?  LOL!   With 3 tween-agers, it's become a necessity in our home :)
But of course this is crafting lingo and it's nice to be able to shorten a lot of things!

I still haven't caught up on my crafting yet and am scrambling to get some cards that are due made and in the mail!  This one is for the SOTC - the sistahs of the traveling cards and our hostess this month was the fabulous Gael!   Her exact rules/words were: 

C.A.S. TIME! I am trying to declutter my supplies, my home and my life.

In honor of simplifying---August's theme is Clean and Simple.

More specifically, no more than two layers (card base is considered a layer) and no more than 2 embellishments (one if it is a large one); not two types of embellies, but two embellies (ie: one rhinestone, one skinny ribbon, etc. However, a set of googlie eyes would be considered one embellie).

 No lyin' .... this one had me stumped!  As my sweet friend April calls me, I'm the Queen of layers! I love layers - lots of luscious, scrumtious layers!  So it took me three tries to make a CAS card ..... the first two were quite hideous and I ended up going back to the first idea I had which was to CASE this card by my creative and crafty friend, Lynn!  The second I saw it I knew I wanted to make it for this swap and should have just went with my instinct to stick with the plan, lol .... and saved a whole lotta paper and cardstock! :)  Alas, here is my Burgandy Fall card - whatcha think?  I am contemplating a sentiment before this hits the mail - yay for long weekends, rain and crafting time!

I'll be back soon with a few more cards since I'm stickin' close to home with the torrential rains and unbelievable winds we've been having. 

Big Hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
