It's a bittersweet day here as after close to 3 years of challenges The Pixie Cottage is taking an extended Summer vacation. I have been with the team from the beginning and have run the challenges as the team leader/coordinator for over 2 years. We have had fabulous guests, lots of tutorials and of course 100's of stunning cards! But Michelle needs to take a break from worrying over the blog and I am going to England for a family wedding and long vacation in the summer so the decision has been made to take now for a very long overdue "recharge of the batteries".
We are going to use the time to reorganize, craft when we want to rather than because we have to and work out how best to come back in September strong and with the challenges you want to see and will play along with.
But we do have one final one and we thought it was fit to end with a challenge about that very special person in your life, Mom. If you don't want to make a Mothers Day then by all means make a card for any special lady in your life or simply use our sketch, we just you to have fun and join in with this last challenge before our break.
Here is the sketch for you.
Remember you can use the sketch or the optional technique or both!
The randomly picked winner will win two stamps of their choice from the Pixie Cottage Collection. The winner and the Top 3 favorites will be announced on the Friday after the challenge ends.
Here are the fabulous creations from the Design Team this week.
