Jennie has made made a small Tooth Fairy Wallet so that the little tooth can be placed inside for some "Fairy Magic" (I am sure the fairies will appreciate not having to scrabble under the pillow!).  Inside the wallet is a small accordian booklet for recording those "toothless smiles" once the Fairies have visited.

Lisette can never resist the chance to make a butterfly fairy, so when she found this little lantern at a bargain price – it would make a perfect home for her.

Thanks to the Fairy Name Generator, Margaret found her inner fairy... and used her artistic license to change a few things. So please meet Columbine Coneflowerweb, as she takes a moment from germinating the flowers to say hello!

Julia has altered a Charity shop bought
dress form to represent "Fairy Couture"!

Be sure to link your projects up right HERE! You still have another week to create and link up! Thanks for stopping by and tune in tomorrow for a two-for... Featured Artists from Challenge #24 - "Christmas/Chanukkah in July" and Challenge #25 - Summer Fun.

Good Morning Everyone! It's time for a new challenge today here at Anything But a Card Challenges... so get ready to play and have some fun!

Kudos to everyone who shared their "Summer Fun" creations and getting every drop of fun out of our favorite season before the first Fall leaves begin to change.

The new Challenge... Anything But a Card Challenge 26 Fairy Tales or Fairy Theme - let your imagination soar with this theme... you could create something based on any fairy tale, or fairies, room for lots of possibilities! JUST REMEMBER... create anything EXCEPT a card for this challenge :)

**JUST FOR FUN** Here's an idea starter... if you want to channel your own inner Fairy... there is even a Fairy Name Generator. CLICK HERE to generate your very own Fairy, complete with a backstory. 

Here is an example of one that was
created with Susan's name:

My fairy name is Ember Catfrost. She watches over small animals. She lives where fireflies mate and breed. She can only be seen during the first snow of winter. She wears dresses that glow with fiery colours and has multicoloured wings like a butterfly.

Let's see what part of our DT has created - and see what they have dreamt up!

Sheri

Sheri's project is based off one of the projects from the book Kaleidoscope by Suzanne Simanaitis. CLICK HERE to jump on over to find out all about it and a video, too. :)

Julie





Susan

Susan combined collage, mold-making and greencrafting for this Fairy Shadowbox. CLICK HERE to jump on over to see how she made her "Frozen Fairy Charlotte".

Diana

Diana had a little play in her art journal this week. She used some bits and pieces that she found on her desk. The stamp is from some odd girl stamps. Most everything was put down with modge podge; then inked and painted over the top. For the leaves she used a piece of packaging.

We hope our designers have you INSPIRED to sprinkle some fairie dust and spread your wings and create!!! We can't wait to see your creations and we hope that you will join in and share them with us! Stop back next Sunday for more of our Design Team creations!
