Saturday Showcase of Cards

Can you believe it is that time again already?  Another Satuday Showcase!  This time the design team did not have a theme, but rather got to choose whatever kind of card they would like to make.  Maybe that will give us more of a glimpse into their personality?! 
I wanted to let everyone know that I did get a big shipment of Pixie stamps in last week, and am awaiting another shipment that should be here very soon, with the new stamps from ArTish, and Lisa Schmidt along with several of the other Pixie illustrators!!
