Our additional challenge this week is "Recycling". You can use something recycled, use something re purposed from another project or anything else you class as recycled.
Remember that you can use the sketch, the technique or both in your entry!

We have a fabulous guest designer this month and it is Dorcas!

The Pixie Cottage Fall Fun Digital Blog Hop & COUPON

We at the Pixie Cottage thought it would be fun to have a little Fall Fun by showing you some of our wonderful digital stamps/images!! We have added almost a dozen new digital images to the store! (Coupon code at the bottom of this post)
Below you will find a list of the design team participants. Stop by each of their blogs (a little birdie told me that some of them are giving away prizes of their own!) and leave them a comment as well as sign up to follow their blog and you will be put in a drawing for our prize.
What are we giving away?? Well, I think it should be some digital images since this blog hop is all about digital!!!
1st Place--Pick any 5 digital images from The Pixie Cottage
2nd Place Pick any 3 digital images from The Pixie Cottage
3rd Place Pick any 1 digital image from The Pixie Cottage

To get us started I thought I would show you my contribution.  This stamp is called Candy Monster (it is a digi image) and is created by Precious Stams  by Lisa Schmidt for The Pixie Cottage.  I have to tell you my daughter could not believe I could make a card that was not all "girly" and she was very impressed.  (she is an 11 year old who tries her best not to be too girly!!)
So be on your way through our blog hop, and don't forget to follow the rules for the prizes and perhaps you could own this adorable image!


Okay are you ready? Here is the list of blogs in the order you should visit them: (remember to leave a comment/and follow at each blog as well as here to be put in the drawing for the prizes) Just click on Katie's name.
