I'm Still Partying!! *Pixie Dust Paperie*

Hi all!! I'm still partying and this time with Party Cones that were provided in the March Floribunda kit from Pixie Dust Paperie! These party cones, made of white embossed paper, are so beautiful. I didn't add much to them because they were so beautiful on their own. Just some punched cardstock, crinkled ribbon, and baubles (all provided in the kit).



You really need to check out the Pixie Dust Paperie blog and see what the other DT members created with these. I am in such awe! Hope your day puts you in a party mood! Hugs, Cheryl

Celebrate Good Times!!! **CCCB**

Hi ALL!! I'm back as this week's hostess at City Crafter Challenge blog with the theme of CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES!! *and I hope you can say...they are ALL GOOD TIMES! It is funny how oft times even the things that seem like challenges turn out to be blessings in disguise. So I hope you come celebrate with us this week...your challenge is simple...to use a banner or the word "party" somewhere on your project. There is a party goin' on right HERE at City Crafter Challenge Blog and I can't wait to see what the celebration brings! Go check out the AMAZING work by our DT and GD, Olga. I'm celebrating, as you read in my Friday post, the return of my daughter in another 2 1/2 weeks from her mission in Paraguay. Actually I'm celebrating not only her imminent return, but her time there. I'm so thrilled she has had all the wonderful experiences she has had there.


She LOVES these people so VERY MUCH and I know they have grown to love her, too. What are you celebrating? I'm always so excited to see what you all create with each challenge. So get your party on and join the CELEBRATION!

Sprinkling On Some Pixie Dust!!**Altered Packaging**

OK....SERIOUSLY....You've GOT to LOOOOVE a kit where even the packaging is GORGEOUS!
Such was the case with the Floribunda kit! As soon as I unpacked it and saw the fabulous packaging that the chipboard alphabet letters came in, I knew I wanted to shoosh it up with a few of the other GORGEOUS items in the kit to make a little spa package for my daughter. My daughter has spent the last year and a half as a missionary for our church in Paraguay. There have been many times she has been without running water and so I thought she would appreciate a little bit of pampering and loveliness when she comes home. **Three weeks from today!!!!*** I'm soooooo EXCITED!!!***Inside I included a chocolate bar (how can you pampered without a little chocolate) that I wrapped in more Floribunda kit goodies, a relaxation mask, and some wonderful smelling bath treats:



Don't you think the colors in this kit just say luxury...pampering...lovely spa-like retreat?



I hope your day includes a little pampering! Hugs, Cheryl

Sharing GCD Studios!!!!

Woohooo! I finally get to share with you the projects I did for GCD
Studios that were displayed at CHA! Their new lines are sososoooo fun
and I just LOVED working with them! I mean really...how can you not
have fun with a line named FUN HOUSE! It just screams FUN! Here is the layout I did with this line:



I love that they have a vintage-y feel...but still have a fun, playful modern feel, too!:






Another line that I was able to work with for CHA was the Christmas line...that
can totally be used for ANYTHING...not just for Christmas:



It even comes with chipboard pieces that are in the paper pack! I just painted these and used the totally cool GCD Studios chipboard tool on them:



I also got to play with the Animal Crackers for Girls line:



Aren't the colors just the coolest?! I love the playful feel of the elements!
It comes with die cut lace paper, that I trimmed this fun elephant, butterfly, and flower from...so cute:



I can't wait to share even more layouts with all the fun new GCD lines with you! I've had such a blast this past year being part of the Facebook DT! Hugs, Cheryl

Sharing Some Pixie Dust + Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Hi all! I get to share another one of my creations from the Pixie Dust Paperie today! What a perfect way to start St. Patrick's Day...with a little Pixie Dust for luck!
The March, Floribunda kit was so elegant and beautiful and I am so thankful that I was able to create so many wonderful projects with it. I think this card would have been fine on its own, but I just needed to use another one of those FANTABULOUS chipboard alphabet letters on it! The are just so pretty! So I decided to make a monogrammed card:



I just love all the elegant little touches this kit provided:



If you haven't checked out the Pixie Dust Paperie Blog get over there right now! You are going to be soooooooo AMAZED at what the DT has created!

Now, I couldn't just have a post on St. Patrick's Day without a little green and some happy St. Patty Day wishes, so here you go:



Wishing you a LUCKY day today! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hugs, Cheryl
