The Pixie Cottage Challenge - Button Up

Another double posting day and tomorrow is still Christmas Eve! LOL
It's time for another challenge at The Pixie Cottage and this time we want you to "Button Up!"
Use as many or as few buttons as you like on your creation and then come back and show us the results.

As I have my Mum here from England I couldn't spend ALL my time on the computer searching for challenges {wink} so there are just a few with this one today.

Pink Elephant had a great sketch
The Crafty Pad wanted Stitching (real or faux)
Creative Card Crew had an Anything Goes theme
Scrap and Stamp Saturday had a Christmas theme
Lots to Do had a free week

I used the super Nativity Scene stamp and made a simple design to go with it.
These large stamps don't need a lot of embellishing, just the right papers and a sentiment.
I use K&Co dp and a printed ribbon for the sentiment.
I added a button to the bow for the "Button Up" part of the challenge.

Inside is more dp and a message mat.

A close up of the Holy Scene.

Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get to spend some of the time with your lovd ones.

Time to get Funky!

Happy Wednesday!
It's a triple posting day, be sure to check back later for more new cards.
This week at My Grafico we got to work with a fabulous set called Funky Monkey and this wonderful sketch.



Of course I added a few other challenges too :)
Paper Cutz had a color combo of Green, Blue, Black and White
Trimmies wanted a Celebration card
Scrap and Stamp Saturday wanted Something For the Boys
Dutch Dare had a theme of "Felt Like It" so I used felt flowers as my embellishments
Lili Of The Valley had a recipe challenge of 3 Papers, 2 stamps and I type of embellishment.

The papers are combination of My Minds Eye, Provo Craft and K&Co.
The sentiment is a Studio G from the $1 spot at Michaels.
The flowers are from Hobby Lobby (I think!)
I printed the monkey once on white and once on the blue dp and paper pieced his hat and scarf.

The inside is more of the fabulous dp from MME and a message mat.

I hope to see you playing along with either the sketch challenge or color challenge over at My Grafico
Also remember that they are holding a call for new people to be on the Design Team so why not give it a try?
Also over at My Grafico they have some fabulous new stamp sets for the upcoming Holidays.
There is a Thanksgiving Set and a Christmas Set at special introductory prices.
They are a mix of artists in each set giving you even more variety for you cards and of course there is the instant gratification of buy and use in seconds! LOL

Double, Double Toil and Trouble! New Pixie Cottage card

Happy Thursday Everyone!
Today's card uses a brand new stamp by Sandra Hammer for The Pixie Cottage and it is available to buy right now!
Sandra is such a talented artist and it is wonderful to be able to work with her fabulous images.
The card covers a few challenges too :)

Clean and Simple Stamping gave me the sketch
The Pink Elephant had the color combo of Black, Orange, Purple and White
Die Cuts R Us wanted to see Copic coloring
Copic Creations wanted Pumpkins and so did Stampin B's
A Spoon Full Of Sugar and 2 Red Banana's both had a Halloween theme
And finally Scrap and Stamp Saturday wanted you to use a quote and I thought this one from William Shakespeare was perfect.



Sandra's witch is called Hannah and she's so cute and her cloak/dress was so great to color. I used about 5 different markers to get the effect I wanted.
The purple dp is KMA and the word dp is DCWV.
The pumpkins are from a Studio G $1 set from Michaels. The quote is from 7 Gypsies.



The inside is more dp and a message mat topped with coordinating ribbon.



I hope you liked her and I'm sure she'd look cute gracing your Halloween cards and scrapbook pages.
