Elisabeth Bell has started a NEW monthly challenge Blog~~~Called Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog !!!!  YEAH!!!! Yippee!!! Hoorahhh!!!    I Just love her artistic talent--thanks Hun!!!
Check it out HERE!!!

The First challenge is to make a Special Tote or Box with 3x3 notecards using any EB images!!!
A while back I found this tutorial by Leigh O'Brien~~ Totally Totebag and it was just waiting for the right moment for me to create with it----soooooo........the moment has arrived...........this is my beauty :D

This little TOTE stores 4 notecards :)

Fancied up with EB image~~Emma!!  She is a doll~~she so reminds me of my daughter Kim at that age~~Love ya Kim!!!  Emma was colored with copics, spica gold pen and alittle Kiwi viva for her ankle jewelry.  I cut her out and Popped her up with foam tape

Shows dimensions. All edges were inked with TH walnut stain. The front, back and side panels were stamped.

View from above. You can really see the cute little pumpkin as well as the notecards :D

Back view~~added a keyhole brad for fashion :)  

Here you can see the Magnolia lace doohickey trim which was inked and Glimmer misted for shine!

This adorable wee pumpkin had it's edges inked before assembling and then glitzed with Tsukineko sparkle shimmer spritz before attaching to tote. Isn't it the Cutest!!!!

Close up Of Little Emma with her kitty :) Added gold AtYou Spica to the ribbon on blouse, stripes on the basket and also the straps on her flip flops. Viva Decor Kiwi pearl pen accents her ankle bracelet.

The collection!!!!

Now alittle more detail of each notecard~~hang in there~~ you know me I just love pics ;)

Meet Dolly~~Sooo very precious!!!!

Meet Susan~~another sweet darling!!!

These pumpkins look antiquey---the reason is cuz I was at the bottom of the frost shimmer mist bottle and it wasn't misting very well~~ but I think it gives character~~What do you think????

Halloween Tilda Gift Set

Hi All~~~~~

Not feeling very well--think I may be getting a sinus infection : ( Yuckkieee!!!

So instead of cleaning today I decided to do something I really enjoy :)  CRAFTING!!!!
In my last post  -which was Boss's Day Card-- I shared that I would get pic of my boss's reaction----well here it is

Now for A Halloween Set!!!!!!

Used this sketch at  JM

Halloween card using Magnolia Sitting Witch Tilda which I got in the sweetest blog candy from Trisha--T-Bear's Touch ~~Thanks Trish I love it all--- MWAHHH!!!!

Memmory Box Twilight papers--aren't they gorgeous!!! 

 Sentiment is a freebie by Sentiments4You which I found on the Totally Tilda Special Challenge Blog--Thanks Lynne!!!!

Viva Decor Kiwi Pearl Pen added corner accents of pearls--little hard to see

This is inside of card--Cat is Magnolia Doohickey die

Used the cut out portion of dp to add shadow with Copic pen C2 before adhering cat to card-- used like you would use a stencil :)

Tilda colored with Copics --added yellow stickles to hairtie, hat band, ruffle on dress and rope on broom.

After coloring used my colorless blender pen to draw or dilute color to give vintage look. I really like what the colorless pen did esp. with her hair :)))

Softened edges with TH Scattered straw ink with blender tool :)

More Magnolia doohickey dies--sponged edges of these beautiful flowers with TH vintage photo ink.

The dp paper under the image was given shine with thick embossing powder--3 coats--turned out very glassy :)  Just what I wanted!!!

Good morning/evening friends!! I am excited to be offering something a little different here at The Pixie Cottage.  I have noticed some customers coming back over and over each month to purchase our stamps and thought this might be a fun way for them to get their stamps early and with a little bonus in pricing and an extra sentiment stamp!

The Pixie Cottage Stamp of The Month Club

How does this work??

You are purchasing one stamp a month from our new releases. This stamp will be available to you at the same time the design team gets their stamps, and before the general public gets a chance to purchase this stamp.

In addition to the stamp of the month, you will receive a sentiment stamp! You will be put on a special mailing list for special pricing on other Pixie Stamps, which is an optional purchase.

Small Print

By making this initial purchase, you are agreeing to a total of three months in the stamp club

This is your initial purchase for one month. Each month hereafter, I will bill you 9.99 plus shipping via paypal or if you prefer, I can invoice you through my credit card processor, at the first of the month, you will have three days to make payment.

Please do not make this purchase if you cannot commit to three months.

And here is a sneak peek of the first months stamps! Yes, you get to choose.... well kind of... as I am only showing a portion of the stamp, so you can pick  "the Hand" or the Beak" LOL!  Interested in trying this CLICK HERE
