I am Perfect

Good afternoon!! It's Sandie here with a little project I made at my little one's request. - An Altered Canvas for her wall. 

I gesso'd the canvas and then spritzed the background a mix of Glimmer mists and Dylusions sprays. As long as they were pink, purple or red, she was happy. The papers are Delight from Pima Marketing Inc.

The stamps is from called Leap of Faith and it's by SCACD. It's been stamped out with Dusty Concorde distress ink. The seniment is from Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Stamps - The Right Words. To finish it off I added a punched butterfly. 

Have a great day!!

Sandie

Tell Your Story with Pictures

Hi everyone! Sandie here today and I have something a little different to share with you. Have you seen the beautiful new papers from Prima Marketing ?? Well I LOVE to alter things and I especially love to make mini albums and when I saw the new collections I just HAD to use Nature Garden in an album.

I enjoyed making this one so much that I've started another using the Almanac collection :D 

Hope it inspires

With a Cherry on Top! :)

Morning guys. Sorry for my absence last week *slaps wrists* truth is, I just wasn't in time!! I was gonna post this card last week, but by the time I had finished it up and checked the clock it had gone half 1 in the morning.. Thursday morning. I wasn't happy! LOL. How come time really does fly when you're having fun?! 

Never the less. I'm here today to share this card with you. 

This is the sweet Cupcake Mae and she is available alongside the two sentiments and a sweet little cupcake image with sprinkles as part of a 4x3 set. I've coloured her up using ProMarkers to try and match my papers from My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart: Be Happy Collection. I've added some aqua coloured ribbon, white lace, few mocha brads and Prima Pearls to finish this design off.

I've followed the colour combo set over at Some Odd Girl this month.

Thanks for stopping by today. :)

Celebrate you

Hi everyone!  Mary J here with a card using those gorgeous Quixotic Paperies goodies!

This gal is so elegant, don't you think?  She is Susana Loves Stamps - Classic Eyes or you can buy her in the Eyes of Dreams set of 4 stamps with a bonus stamp.  I used Viva Decor Pearl Pen and the Viva Decor Glitter Liner to highlight her headdress.  I used those gorgeous elegant papers from the My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks pad and the sentiment is from the Paper Makeup Little Moments Mini set.  Lastly, I finished it off with embellishing with beads for the flower centres and a rich touch of Prima lace.

And do you like the layout?  I used my March-April sketch - if you want a chance to win a £15 voucher to the store, see all the deets here!

Christmas Angel

Good morning all. Yet again I've had this project made since Monday afternoon, but I'm only just typing this post up midnight Wednesday morning. Seriously. Where ARE my time management skills?! Best make this short and sweet! :)

This project is the end result of an idea that has been in my head since.. what?! Mid October. Yes, I'm slow! :) I've wanted to make my own little 'money wallets' for Christmas, you know the type, right? I'll take some pictures of the inside when I actually have a note to 'embellish' it! HA! Then you'll get the whole shabang.

Meet the super cute little angel from Kraftin' Kimmie - Seraphina. I left out the halo and the sentiment from the set and used my own from Hero Arts. The patterned papers are from Echo Park - Holly Jolly Collection. I used a nestie to create the shape behind Seraphina and made a banner shape from a gorgeous little polka dot paper for her to sit on. :) I also used some yummy Prima E Line Pearls to embellish the wallet a little. I got them in the massive sale Elaine had a while back. Still got a LOT to use!!

That's all from me for now. I gotta get my butt to bed! I'll update my blog later on today with colours and other embellishments and stuff used on this card. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge a note from somewhere to show you all the full effect of the inside too. :)

It's An Octopode Christmas

Hi it's Kim Dellow here and I'm a bit of an Octopode Factory fan and this little guy has been waiting impatiently in my 'to-be-inked' bag for a while, but at last I got a chance to have a play with him for my Quixotic Paperie DT make this week.

He is the Octopode Factory Santa Claus.

I've used him with the Prima Alla paper pad and some Kraft card. Elaine has some Bazzill Kraft card in the shop, always handy to have around.

Doesn't he just look like he *hearts* Christmas? 

Have a fun Saturday

Kim

Folded Pocket Tag

Hey. Just me. :) Sorry for the late post.. I was hanging around waiting for the light to get a little better, but it seems that I woulda been waiting around for a while because it's still dull and grey and it's just gone 12 o'clock. Winter's coming!! :)

So I hope you guys didn't miss out on Elaine's birthday celebrations. Had a lot of sales happening over at Quixotic Paperie which ended midnight last night. I hope you picked up some goodies while the going was good, I know I sure did. None of the stuff I actually needed, but you know how it gets. ;)

Have you seen the creations the DT have been making since Friday, in celebration? Good. Well here is my shot at it. I used a much unloved Miss Anya - Dressy stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I decided to create a tag card with pocket, head on over to my blog for the details.

I used some delicious papers from Prima - Madeline collection. I added some customary doodles and Authentique words here and there to tie it all together. Anya has been adhered to the front of the card on dimensional adhesive after being fussy cut out. I added some stickles to the frills on her apron as well as the large lime green cherry blossom.

Hope you've enjoyed the 'Birthday Week Celebrations' so far!! 

Prima Meets Quixotic Paperie Sketch Challenge

Hey Guys, have you played along with our first Sketch Challenge yet? It's a great sketch from Mary and if you play along you could win a gift token to spend in Quixotic Paperie or see your work here on the blog.

Well here is my take on the sketch, I've used paper from the Prima Marketing Alla Prima pack and the Prima Marketing Londonerry cling stamp set for this card.

The stamping uses the Archival Coffee ink pad.

A little bit of stitchery, a bit of tearing, some mulberry paper and embossing for this make.

If you want to see the sketch then pop on other to the Sketch Challenge post, there is more inspiration with this fabulous sketch here on the blog and on the design team's blogs (listed in the sidebar).

Have fun with the challenge and see you next week.

Look on the Bright Side

Hey Quixotic-ers! LOL!! This is my first ever post for Quixotic, incase you didn't know, and I've been worrying about it for forEVA! Working along side such a talented bunch of ladies is nerve wracking - let me tell ya!!

Today I am showing you a new stamp from the Sylvia Zet for SCACD.

Meet Princess

I emailed Elaine before I typed this post and was like.. I'm SO embarrased by my colouring on this card. These stamps are totally not made for use with PM's - honestly. You gotta have mad skills and patience to colour these beauties. I'm defintely going to give it another go soon though! I must!! They're too cute not to!!

I've coloured her hair and skin using Copics and the rest of the image using ProMarkers. I've used some yummy papers from Prima's Madeline collection and added some blue seam binding with a double bow I have tied using my Bow Easy.

Well, let's just wrap this up by saying my projects in the future cannot be as horrid as this! LMBO!! They can only get better, right? :)

Octopode Factory Sunshine

Ahh Saturday, which means it is my day, Kim Dellow, here on the Quixotic Paperie blog coming at ya with a bit of fabric fun with the fabulous Ocotopode Factory stamps, new into the shop, and some yummy Prima papers.

I've used Octopode Factory Alice from the Alice in Wonderland range and made her a little quilted.

I've used the Octopode Factory Small Button Flower and the papers I've transferred onto the fabric are from Prima.

I've also used EZ Mount and Ranger Archival Jet Black which are both available in the  Quixotic Paperie shop.

I have some more photos on my blog if you are interested. but in the meantime have a look at the latest additions! Yum Yum!

Taking it slowly...

Well, not me personally - this week has flown by, it's been manic!!  Anyhoo, Mary J here and the title of my post refers to this little cutie using lots of lovely Quixotic Paperie stash! 

 

 

Isn't he a sweetie?  This is one of the new Emerald Faeries called Boo & Snookie (aren't they the best names ever?!!).  I used my Sew Easy Tool with the Zig Zag Piercer Head and finished it off with flowers using the Marianne D creatables Chinese Rose dies and beads.  Quixotic Paperie has run out of the brown felt ribbon, but you can buy it in other colours here.

I used the Prima Madelaine paper that is unfortunately out of stock now, but there are a host of gorgeous Prima pads in including the latest arrivals which came today here!

Before I go, here is a list of my most fave of the newly arrived goodies!
