The Pixie Cottage Challenge #31 - Sketch and/or A Fancy Fold!


It's time for another new sketch from Pam and a new technique challenge to go along with it!



This is a fairly simple sketch as we'd like you to also make the card with a "Fancy Fold"! This can be an easel card, a gatefold, a z- fold, anything other than the regular one fold card. Of course you can just do the sketch but it wouldn't be a challenge without a little thinking would it! LOL
You don't have to use a Pixie Cottage Stamp to enter but if you do have why not try out!
Remember you can use the sketch, the theme or both and can combine our challenge with any others you like!

One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
Winners will be announced on the Friday following the end of the challenge.

Our guest designer for both July and August will be Lisa and she has started us off with this wonderful card using Baby Maisy by Di Carubia



And to the rest of the team!

The Pixie Cottage Challenge #30 - Guest Sketch and Feeling Blue


It's time for another Once Upon A Wednesday and another sketch from a fabulous Special Guest Sketcher. This time it's the mega talented Jacqui Dennis! . Jacqui is a super busy lady working on fabulous teams like Whiff of Joy, Lili of the Valley, Crafter's Companion, Wild Orchid Crafts, Just Magnolia, A Spoon Full of Sugar and Penny Black! I don't know how she does it all.
Well she found time in that schedule to create a sketch just for us here at The Pixie Cottage.




Along with the sketch we have the added option of "Feeling Blue" where we'd simply like to see you use the color blue somewhere on your card!
You don't have to use a Pixie Cottage Stamp to enter but if you do have why not try out!
Remember you can use the sketch, the theme or both and can combine our challenge with any others you like!

One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
Winners will be announced on the Friday following the end of the challenge.
