The Pixie Cottage Design Team

Well, I know you have all been waiting to see who is on The Pixie Cottage design team and I apologize for the delay. I had to look and re look at every one's work. There was just such talent to choose from. I want to thank everyone for applying and tried to send everyone an email today for whom I had an email from. I apologize if I missed anyone, a few people posted here and did not email their information, and a few emailed me who did not post here, so I am sorry if I somehow missed anyone.

Joining my friends Kristen Kelsey of Queen of Nostalgia and Andrea Seiler from Andrea T. Designs A Paper Boutique on the design team will be:

Pam Limric of Stamps, Inc

Tara Welch of Happily Ever Crafting

Katie Tate of Both Sides of the Paper

Renata Elenbaas of CreaRenata

Risa West of Life's Simple Pleasures

Tammy Maynard of Life Enjoy It

Anne S. F. Lysheim of Skaperglede i Anne`s hobbyhule

Peggy Russell of Beautiful Greetings

Congratulations and thank you to these talented ladies. I cannot wait to see what designs they come up with for the stamps! I was going to post a sneak peek of a new stamp tonight but am having computer problems and am on another computer tonight, so it will have to wait:(

But I will direct you to my friend's blog HERE . If you haven't seen Jan's work before you are in for a treat. She has recently done several cards with Pixie Cottage stamps and they came out just fabulous.

Another Card to Share

It sure takes me a long time to get anything finished. I colored this image before I went on vacation and had all the pieces and parts sitting out waiting for my return. After pushing it aside for over two weeks I finally have it done and a picture of it to share.

I really like the image (Hannah Witch by Sandra Hammer). However,

I am not sure if I have done her justice. I tried to make a vintage looking card, but I do nowhere near as good a job as my friend Kristen (aka Queen of Nostalgia) Lucky for me she has agreed to help out with my design team and this blog. The girl is so creative and nobody does vintage like she does.... I mean NOBODY. So Kristen....I cannot wait to see what you do with a Pixie Cottage stamp.

I will be posting another card on my personal blog. It also has a Pixie Cottage stamp on it, but since I am entering a challenge I should post it there. It has the cutest image from Alisa Ramirez on it. It is called Little Sweet Pea, and until now has not been shown. So this will be Little Sweet Pea's debut. I will be putting her up for sale HERE next week. So stop over and have a look at that card too if you have time.

Coming Soon..... what a cutie

Okay I am back on the cutie stamp kick. I just wanted to show you one of the stamps that is coming soon to The Pixie Cottage collection. It is illustrated by Alisa Ramirez and is another adorable fairy. I will be putting her up for preorder and hope to have her in about three to four weeks. I will post a couple of cards to share with you in the next few days. I have to get pictures snapped of them.

On a side note, I am always happy to sponsor challenges. AND I hope to soon start a challenge here.

I promise to be announcing the design team before Tuesday.

Goodnight everyone!

A Cute Little Guy

Hello everyone!! I have a little treat for your tonight. First of all, I received my first shipment of rubber, and have many of The Pixie Cottage stamps now in stock.

Secondly, anyone that knows me, knows that I adore cute little girlie stamps, pink paper, ribbon and lots of flowers. I have a hard time making a scrapbook page for my boys, or a male themed card. So .... sometimes things get overlooked in my mind... cute little boy stamps, scenery stamps, and anything overly rugged or manly. Oh, don't worry I haven't neglected my handsome sons, it is just that they are grown and out of the house. However, my princess is right here to keep all the girly accoutrements fresh in my mind, and there just must be a froo-froo girl hidden deep down inside me somewhere.

So without further ado, I want show you some of the non-girly stamps!

First is a cute little vampire by Tricia Moore. He goes nicely with her Little Witchy stamp.

I also have to share one of my favorite stamps. The Dock by Sandra Hammer. This stamp is the perfect size to accommodate all your Tilda stamps (you see you can make this girly too! LOL), or it would be perfect alone. It is a larger size stamp, and will be a lot of fun to color.

So there you have it, some great images for everyone to enjoy.

I will have several new images to share in another week or so along with the names of the Design Team members.

Have a great night/day

Michelle
