Pixie’s Bookshelf Projects

Hello!  I’m very excited to show you my projects today.  The book to read this month at Pixie’s Bookshelf was Switched by Amanda Hocking.  I had heard lots of good things about this book, and about this author.  And I have to agree with all of those great reviews.  I loved the book so much that I had to run out and get the second book in the series and read it, too!  Now I have to impatiently wait until April 24 to read the third book. 

I made two projects for this challenge.  Belle of the Ball from Pixie Dust Studio reminded me of the ball scene from the book, so I made a card with her…

And then I made a funky tag/mini bookmark, too.

It says “Trylle vs. Vittra”(in case you had trouble reading it).  The letter stamps are Studio G, and the other two stamps are from Smeared Ink.  I covered it in crackle glaze.

If I explain too much about the tag, or the characters I really like from the story it will give too much away if you haven’t read the books, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut for now.  I have ideas brewing for further projects, though.  You know it’s a good story when it inspires your creativity.

Thank you for looking!

Pixie’s Bookshelf is Back!

I was really excited to see that Pixie’s Bookshelf has started up again with challenges and monthly reads.  I love the concept of reading a book and then making a project based on it.  But now there are extra challenges being hosted there!  Their current challenge is to make a project based on your favorite story, or book.  Well, I have a long list of favorite books.  So, I decided to just go with one of my new favorites…A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin.

I used Wolf Jacob from Pixie Dust Studio.  I colored him to look like Ghost, Jon Snow’s direwolf.  I typed and printed out the Stark family motto.

Thanks for looking!

Deciding what characters to feature for this hop was hard for me…so I decided to feature multiple characters!

My first card features the Alice Cullen and Jasper images.  They’re actually my favorite couple from the books.

(it’s hard to tell, but there’s actually a lot of sparkle on the paper squares)

Next is a card featuring the Marry Me…Bella image.

And I couldn’t leave Jacob out, so my last card features the Wolf Jacob image.

All of the images I used can be found at Pixie Dust Studio.

The next stop on the hop is Caz!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!(and the movie!!)

Pixie’s Bookshelf Hope in a Jar Challenge

Hello again.  Just popping in to show you the card I made for the current Pixie’s Bookshelf challenge.  The challenge is to use scallops and flowers in your creation, and to make it very girly.  Also, since this challenge was inspired by this month’s reading selection “Hope in a Jar” and the main theme of the story is friendship, I wanted to tie that in as well.

I used February Pixie for my card.  I used an EK Success sticker for my sentiment. 

Thanks for looking!

Wings!

Have you seen the new Pixie’s Bookshelf monthly challenge?  I think it’s such a cool idea!  This month’s challenge is to read the book Wings by Aprilynne Pike and then to make a project using wings!  So, I read the book yesterday and I LOVED it.  I totally fell in love with the characters and now I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.  I still can’t decide who I like better, David or Tamani?  Eek!  I love them both! 

Now onto the card…

Here you can see some of the shimmery silver details on her dress…(although you can’t see the shimmery gold in her hair, I just couldn’t get it to show up in photos)

Here you can see just how awesome the Dicro Fusible Fibers are…

I used Pixie Pearl from Pixie Dust Studio.  Paper is DCWV.  Sentiment made on my computer.

Thanks for looking!

StampInsanity Challenge and More!

Hi!  I’m so behind!  I just wanted to share with you a card I made for the StampInsanity Challenge #14-Betcha Bottom Dollar.  I think this sketch is so cute!  Here’s my card…

I love those Stardust Stickles!!  Maddie was colored using Copic markers.  You can find this Maddie stamp here from StampInsanity.

This card was made for a big sister who now has twin baby sisters!:)  And here’s the card I made for her mom and dad…

The pea digis are from Pixie Dust Studio and the inside sentiment is from Digital Doodling.

Thanks for taking the time to look!  And thank you all so much for your wonderful comments!:)
