All Packed & Ready To Go!

Where are you off to?

I colored Xavier to look like Ian...

blond hair, dressed in church camp colors, sitting on a "yellow" suitcase!

Yes, finally old enough, he'll be headed to church camp for the first time this summer.

Xavier digi by ARTish

He so reminds me of the night before we left for Europe when my brother was playing international baseball...sitting on the suitcase, just would not close it! We called our neighbor Maria to see if she had a larger one we could borrow (some how packing less was not an option!)

This week at The Pixie Cottage
our challenge theme is "ONE for the BOYS"
and this is our Sketch...


... you have the option to use one or the other or both!

Link back your new creation to The Pixie Cottage

I combined them both!

to these challenges:

Desert Island Crafts choose at least 3 (I chose...)
2. Use Black
3. Distressing
5. Mix patterns you normally wouldn't have tried together
6. Words
7. Use ink on something other then a stamp
10. No flowers.

Paper Take Weekly anything goes
Pile It On Time to Travel


No matter if you're at home or traveling, have a Blessed day!

"Remember to brush and floss!"

Think that is what the Tooth Fairy whispers into the ears of the children she visits!?

Could be!

It's Monday again, time for Paper Pretties
"Monday Whatnots; what's not to Love"...2 NEW ARTish digis every Monday!

Flying into Blogland (perhaps just in time after all that sugary Easter candy!)...
Tooth Fairy digi by ARTish

As she pondered the question "What to wear, what to wear??"
She found her answer via the challenge at Etsy Inspired
Where this week they are spotlighting Imagine Studio

Little Miss Tooth Fairy thought she'd "Robe" herself as a pink butterfly...

-La Robe

I found this Adorably Sweet sketch at Sweet Stop Sketches

It worked perfectly with the recipe challenge of ...

Winged (fairy)+ 3 flowers, 2 pattern papers, 1 button from: Flutterby Wednesday
as well as these... If the Shoe Fits Things with Wings
Phindy’s Place Glitter Glamour Glitz
Totally Papercrafts Glitter

to create this...

ribbon flowers...

and a nifty spot for the details...

If on the other hand your Easter candy has given you so much energy you do not know what to do...take the lead of Webster and find an old tire swing to help you pass the day away.
