CUC DT Pixie Cottage card

Hi Everyone! I hope it's nice & cool where you are today. Here in southern California we're roasting cuz.....summer has finally arrived......ugh. LOL Can you tell I hate the heat? LOL

We at Craft Us Crazy are in the middle of our 15th Challenge! Wow........this year is sure flying by. Our theme is everyone's FAVorite..........."Anything Goes" for the whole month of August. Easy Peasy! Our sponsor for this half of the challenge is The Pixie Cottage. They so generously gave me this rubber stamp called "Stealing Hearts" by Eileen Gutierrez. Isn't she a cutie holding all those hearts in her sweet little pink dress. She's colored with my Copics (numbers listed below).


My DP & sentiment are from My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found" Blush collection. I love it! I won a gift certificate from the Pumpkin Spice blog hop recently & just couldn't wait to pick out all of these pretty papers. I couldn't believe how fast they shipped it to me. And their prices are FABulous! I always love to pass on a good bargain to my blogging friends. In these times we really need to stretch our dollars so we can buy more craft supplies. LOL (cuz you know a girl can NEVER have too many....LOL)

CUC/DT/The Pixie Cottage ~~Is it Thanksgiving?

No.......you don't have to check your calendar to see if it's Thanksgiving & I don't think I've flipped my lid.........yet. LOL Although with the cold & rainy weather we've been having here in southern California in May I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't fall or winter. But I guess every day should be Thanksgiving cuz we're so blessed. Anywho.....it's our halfway point for our Craft Us Crazy challenge blog's 8th challenge. We want to see your "Favorite Embellishment and/or Something New". My FAVorite embellie is flowers and my something new is my DP from Bearly Mine Designs. Wowie..........we've seen so many amazing creations in our challenges. I can't believe that we're already up to almost 300 followers.
Our Sponsor for this half of the challenge is The Pixie Cottage. They gave me this darling image to play with. Isn't that little mouse soooo cute with his full tummy. The image is called "Pumpkin & Pie". I tried to give it a Springtime feel........with the pretty DP & flowers.

I powdered the pie with some Doodlebug sugar coating glitter (cuz I love my 'real' pie with lots of sugary goodness) & I used my 'regular' fine glitter on the pumpkin & background DP. I recently purchased that gorgeous DP from Bearly Mine Designs called 'Spring Blossoms'. The flowers in the DP are made by Trina Clark so I also purchased her 'New Beginnings' digital overlay that compliments the Bearly Mine set. Isn't it pretty! I think I'll be using this set a lot.

These are the Copics I used to color my image:
Mouse: W0, W1, W3, R11 & R20
Pumpkin: YR20, YR21 &E53
Pie: E41 &42
Pie tin: C0 & C1
Outline: W00
