Something Pink

Good morning!!!!  It is a glorious day here and I am itching to get back outside!  But first I have my Stamp Something card to share with you!  Our theme today is PINK!!  Fun and easy huh?   The DT received images from our sponsor, the Stamping Boutique, and I chose this super cute little pixie.  She is just so dainty.  I wanted to make sure I chose dainty little embellies to go with her.  So I did tiny pearls, thin taffeta ribbon and dainty printed DP from Basic grey.  I added stickles to her wings, puddle and mushroom too for a bit of sparkle!
Wishing you all have Happy Easter!!!  We are so looking forward to it!  Finally a warm Easter without snow!!  Last year the girls wore pants under their Easter dresses, not the case this year!

I need chocolate!!!

Good morning!  Well after a week of rain and two playdates this week, I really need some chocolate!!!  I saw this quote on Lindsay's free Easter set and knew it was what I wanted to work with.  Did I mention it was a freebie?????  Hop on over to MyGrafico and you can instantly download this set, perfect for last minute Easter cards!!!! 
I used my favorite Parisian breeze papers, some primas and lots of pearls.  No copics though,so that was strange!  I distressed all the edges with my distressing tool and ink.  And added some yummy chocolate ribbon to finish it off! 
Lindsay and the other gals have some beauties waiting for you so pop on over to check them out!!!

Need Coffee???

Good morning!!!  It's all about coffee today at Saturday Spotlight!!!  The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to create something with COFFEE in mind! You don't HAVE to use coffee images for this challenge, you can take inspiration from the colors you think of in coffee like rich browns, blacks, tan/creamy colors, etc.

Pixie Cottage News and Card

Hi All-Here's my second post of the day!!!  If you're looking for my Stamp Something post, it's right HERE.  
What started out as an easy looking week turned crazy and I am just now able to share my first Pixie Cottage DT card with you!!!  I am so excited to start on with a new and talented team.  And a big hello to all my new teamies, I'll be around to visit shortly!

For those of you new to Pixie Cottage stamps, they are available at Michelle's Scrapbooking and more.   I used the Sweet Molly image.  I colored her with copics and added lots of sparkly accents!  I used some of my DCWV papers from the sweet pack, so even the papers are sparkly!

Have a great weekend!
