The Pixie Cottage Guest Designer DT card and Quixotic Challenges DT

Bit late again-well quite late! This seems to be a habit at the moment-things seem to be just crazy busy around here at the moment! Anyways-how's your week gone? Good I hope! Hope everyone has enjoyed their lovely long weekend! Yesterday I went with my mum to a craft show near Lincoln which was very fun-bought some new goodies! Today we went to a local tractor rally as Leo loves tractors, was a nice little afternoon out since the sun was shining:)

Wednesday was my last week as Guest Designer for the Pixie Cottage-4 weeks seem to have gone by very fast! Thanks Michelle so much for asking me-I've absolutely loved working with the stamps-they're so fun! This last card uses Little Mermaid by Alisa Ramirez! Look at her eyes! Aren't they fab! You can probably see I added lots of Glossy Accents-makes the image pop me thinks:) All the yummy papers I used are Tim Holtz which you can snag at Quixotic Paperiehere. I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges My Time To Craft (vivid greeting cards) and Polka Doodles (sew and sew) and Cupcake Crafts (summer delights).

Also going to show you my DT card for Quixotic Challenges (below)-the theme this week is embossing so I decided it was high time I got my much neglected embossing folders out! I used a Cuttlebug folder think it's called 'about you' and cut out the word precious and sanded it (I used core card). How adorable is the image! It's by the Greeting Farm and comes as a super cute set it's calledOliver and Amelia the buddies set-Oliver is such a perfect image for a little boy card isn't he?! Very fun and easy to colour too. All the papers I used are from the newly released Max and Whiskers paper pad by Basic Grey-everytime they bring a new release out I just have to get it-it's a sickness I tell ya! I'm going to enter this card at One Stitch at a Time (something new challenge-the papers)

This week is going to be lots of fun for 2 reasons! Tomorrow is Quixotic Paperie's 1st Birthday! I can hardly believe it! There's going to be a super fun blog hop with VERY special guests-it's going to be awesome! And, there'll be lots of prizes! I can't wait!

Also tomorrow it's a new Whimsy Digital release-I won't be on the blog hop cos my team is doing the challenge this month instead but the images are all fantastic-so keep your eye out for that too!

I'm sorry for being such a rubbish blogging friend of late-I have just so busy and still haven't caught up. I've been crazy busy with orders from my Etsy shop and my new Folksy shop which is great-I couldn't be happier about that-it's exactly what I wanted-but along with other things everything's been keeping me on my toes-so I am sorry if I haven't popped round recently! Thanks for stopping by today and making it to the end of this long post! I really appreciate you coming to see me and for any comments you leave! See you tomorrows guys!
