Just a very quick post to let you know that the gorgeous new Elisabeth Bell designs from SCACD are available to pre-order from Quixotic Paperie!
It's a fantastic release, and includes some of my favourite Elisabeth Bell images so far! As soon as they arrive here, you know that some of them are sneaking off to my craft room to play. ;)
There are 7 images in total, every one of them a winner! I cannot wait to see these appearing on all your blogs, in full colour!
You can check all the designs out and secure yours HERE. The stamps are due to arrive here in the first week or so of May, so not long to wait!

Mo Manning Stamping Bella Stamps Now At Quixotic Paperie!
Yesterday the gorgeous Mo Manning stamps from Stamping Bella landed here at Quixotic Paperie. To say I was am excited would be an understatement.
I just had to take a pic. Look at all that lovely pink packaging.
Most of the stamps come with coordinating sentiments, and I think they are absolutely perfect for the images!
I have no doubt you will be seeing lots of creations with these stamps. Here are four to get you started, from me, Judy and Rowena!
Love them! You can check out all the stamps HERE.

Quixotic Challenge #23: How Distressing!
Thank you for all your wonderful entries in last week's challenge!
This week our newest DT member Simonne has set the challenge, so blame her when you're shuddering at the thought of roughing up all those gorgeous papers (or is that just me?). ;-)
Get those inks and tools out and have a play! I'm sure you will all be far more inventive than me when it comes to this one!
Once again, the DT have come up with some fantastic inspiration to share with you. Do pop by and visit their blogs, they love to hear from you!
You will notice that three of us have used Mo Manning images. These are the images now available in gorgeous rubbah courtesy of Stamping Bella, and they are available over at Quixotic Paperie right now! More on that over on the Quixotic Inspirations blog!
To enter the challenge, please add your name and a link to your creation in Mr. Linky below. The link can be to a post on your blog or to an online gallery, as long as the link goes directly to your creation and not simply to your blog or gallery. The creation must also be a new one, please do not link to old posts or old gallery uploads.
If Mr. Linky isn't showing, please come back and try again later - sometimes he likes to go for a wander!
Email submissions are also welcome, please send them to quixoticcreations@googlemail.com with the subject: "Quixotic Challenges Email Entry".

Wild Sprout Ebony
Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I have a card to share with you that I've literally just finished using this cute TGF Ebony stamp (available HERE)! I stamped Ebony in Memento Tuxedo Blank ink pad (available HERE) and coloured her with Copics. Both my DP and 'charming' sentiment sticker are from the Crate Paper 'Brook' Collection Kit (available HERE) - I adore this kit!
Just a quick post from me as both daughter and hubby return to school tomorrow, so it's a bit of a 'do' day today - ironing, packing bags, cleaning shoes ... etc. But we hope to take a little trip to the coast this afternoon as it's such a beautiful day here in the South West!
Hope you have a FAB day, whatever you're up to!
Hugs, Simonne x

Tim Holtz Papers And More!
Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, whatever you were up to!
I'm back this week with some news!
Firstly, after reviewing postage and packaging costs, our charges have increased. The good news is that they are still weight-based and very reasonable! You can view all shipping costs under "Shipping & Returns" over at Quixotic Paperie.
In happier news, I have some fabulous new additions to share with you today!
Several colours of gorgeous wired jewels! I see lots of potential for these on projects, from contemporary styles to vintage shabby chic! Sold by the metre, so you will have plenty to play with!
If you're like me - a little Alice in Wonderland obsessed - you will love the new charm design in stock - Queen Chess Piece! These are gorgeous, and of course perfect for more than just Alice themed projects!
Two of the gorgeous new Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper Stacks have arrived! I have "Vintage Shabby" and "Retro Grunge" all stacked up and waiting to go.
I also have some fantastic new Spring/Summer themed Wooden Shapes available in sets of 9, perfectly sized for your cards and other projects. There are four sets, so pop on over and check them out!
