(Please scroll down for my Quixotic Inspirations DT post!)
It's Thursday which means today I am Pixie Mary J! I love being on this team so I can call myself that - yes, sad I know! Anyhoo, it also means a new challenge at the Take the Pixie Challenge and this week we are challenging you to...
Recycle!
So do some searching and find something you have laying around in your home to recycle!! I found some fabric swatches (rather a lot actually!) that I got years ago when we were buying a new sofa (and no I didn't choose it!) - I used on my make for the matting...
Isn't this lady beautiful?! She is called the Meadow Princess and I just love those delicate flowers in her hair and her leafy dress! And I bet she has pointy ears under those gorgeous flowing locks!! (I just know I was an elf in another life!!)
I hope you can join in with us this week - the other DT creations are wonderful and you can see them all here!
I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Wonderful card, I love how you recycled the fabric swatch and the bright colours are so fun. Love the rolled flowers too. Thanks for joining us over at Paper Sundaes this week :)
She is lovely Pixie Mary J! Glad you didn't use that fabric for your couch, it looks great on the card but not very comfy!
You're amazing. xo
