Merry Christmas!

 Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!  I have been busy the last couple of days prepping for Christmas festivities and visiting friends.  I have a quick project to share with you that I made for my neighbors.  This is not my original idea but I was inspired by Emma over at My Creative Time to make a snow globe of my own.  You can see her original post here.  I had a few mason jars left over from Christmas last year and decided to put them to good use.  The snow I bought from Wal-Mart and used some tinsel to give it some glitter (hard to see in the picture).  I cut the penguin with my Cameo and hung it with some twine from the lid of the jar.  I added some stickles to the penguin and stamped an adorable Peachy Keen face on him.  To finish it up, I hot glued some ribbon to the lid.  So easy!

Items Used:

Lettering Delights: Christmas Express

Peachy Keen Stamps: Happy Lashes

PKS Sketch

Hello everyone!  I am back!  It has been a crazy month.  About a month ago I had some water damage to my house and had to have most of my carpet replaced.  It took about a month, but my house is finally back to normal!  The carpet has been replaced, my baseboards are back on, my vanity has been fixed and there are no more holes in my wall!  Yay!!!!  Most of my stuff has managed to make it back into the house, which means I am back to crafting!  Yesterday I made a card for Peachy Keen's Sketch challenge.  It was so nice to be creating again!  The base of my card was cut at 5"x6.5".  The mat is a file from the Silhouette Store and the adorable candles are from Peachy Keen's December Stamp of the Month.  I colored the candles with my Copics and added some twine.  So easy!

Items Used:

My Creative Time: Gift Card Sentiments

Copic Markers

Peachy Keen: December SOTM

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.  I am off to bake some Christmas goodies!

PKS Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!  I have had quite the week.  I originally made this card for a challenge at the Peachy Keen Connection.  However, on Saturday, my toilet decided to break and I ended up with an inch of standing water in my bathroom.  Oh how the water quickly spread to my bedroom, living room and hallway.  Luckily, my sister and brother-in-law were at my house to help clean up.  I do not know what I would have done without their help.  They were awesome!  However, I had to call in some professionals and will need some new carpet.  

On to my card.  The base was cut at 5"x6.5".  The oval and scallop came from the Silhouette store and the cute little deer is an SVG from My Scrap Chick.  I distressed the edges of the card and deer and added some glossy accents to the eyes.

PKS Sketch

Hello everyone!  I have a card to share with you tonight that I made for PKS sketch challenge.  I am not thrilled with how it turned out but it will have to do.  The adorable penguin is a Peachy Keen's Kut Out and the banners are SVG's from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I colored the cute little penguin with Copic markers.  I still need lots of practice, but I am working on it. :) Here is the sketch:

Challenge Me Monday #135

Hello everyone!  It's Monday which means it is challenge time at the FCCB blog!  This will be my last post for the FCCB DT!  I have had a wonderful time getting to know the talented ladies I have been working with.  However, there is a lot going on in my personal life right now.  Therefore, I made the decision to step down and not continue another term.  This week we are seeing spots and want to see your projects with polka dots.  My card this week is super simple.  The ghost was cut at 3.5" and came from Simply Charmed.  I stamped a cute PKS face on it, added some twine, glossy accents and chalk.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Challenge Me Monday over at FCCB!  This week's theme is Down on the Farm.  We want to see you farm animal inspired projects.  For my card, the base of the card was cut at 4"x5.5".  The cow came from Create a Critter and was cut at 3.5".  The mat I used came from Elegant Edges and the party hat came from Celebrations.  I added some twine, stickles to the hat, and glossy accents to the cow.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time and adorable cow face from Peachy Keen.

PKS Anything Goes

Hello everyone!  It has been forever since I have been crafting.  I was going through serious withdrawals.  This weekend, I managed to make three cards for Peachy Keen's challenge and release challenges.  It was so nice to take some time and be creative again.  It was much needed!

Items Used: Create a Critter, Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridges My Creative Time: Stitched Circle Die, All Around Birthday Stickles Glossy Accents Sizzix Big Kick
The other two cards I made are for the stamp release challenges going on at the Peachy Keen Connection.  The first one was to use a background stamp.  I paper pieced the clock and used Rich Cocoa Momento ink on the background paper to stamp the numbers.  I am quite impressed with how well the ink matches the paper.  It almost looks like it's part of the paper.

Items Used:

The next challenge was to use ribbon, 3 buttons and two pattern papers.
