PKS Sketch

Hello everyone!  The ground here is covered in snow and ice so I took advantage of being inside and did some crafting this weekend!  I decided to play with some of the Peachy Keen add on sets from last months release.  They are absolutely adorable!  I love all the nursery rhyme sets!  This card was super easy to put together!  I colored the adorable images with my Copics and heat embossed the stars and sentiment.  Here is the sketch we were given:

Here is my take on the sketch:

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas just a few days late.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  I decided to enter my Christmas cards into the peachy keen photo challenge.  This is the picture that inspired the cards below.

These cards were super simple to make.  Everything was cut with my Cameo.  The banner and nesting shapes came from the Silhouette store and the adorable gingerbread people came from SVG cutting files.  I put everything together, added some stickles, doodling, heat embossed my sentiment and added an adorable PKS face.  Easy peasy!

I'm a Love Pirate...

Hello everyone!  It has been so long since I have gotten any time to craft but I finally got some today.  Things have been crazy with my husband deployed, school, work and all the home emergencies that keep happening.  Even though my time is limited right now, it has not stopped me from buying supplies.  I had both Jaded Blossom and My Creative Time supplies just waiting to be used!  I got my chance today!  I made this card to send to my husband who is currently overseas.  When I saw the Cheesy Pick Ups from Jaded Blossom, I knew I wanted them.  They are so much fun!

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I took a brief break this weekend from the mountain of things on my to do list to make a quick card.  I must say I absolutely love the dies from My Creative Time.  They are especially wonderful when I am in a hurry and need to whip something up really quickly.  This card was super simple.  Everything was cut out of dies from My Creative Time with my Sizzix Big Kick.  I paper pieced the hot air balloon and the background was heat embossed with clear embossing powder and a background stamp from Peachy Keen.

Lots of Peachy Keen Goodness

Hello everyone!  I have had lots of craft time this weekend!  It was fabulous!  Plus, I got happy mail from My Creative Time on Saturday and couldn't resist to play with her latest release, so cute!  The two cards I have to share with you are for Peachy Keen's Anything Goes challenge and the "use anything new" challenge at the Peachy Keen Connection. The cute little bear is an SVG from Scrapping Bug Designs.  I added some stickles, chalk and an adorable Peachy Keen face.  I made my own background paper by randomly stamping stamps from Emma's new release and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The squares are Spellbinders which I bought black Friday and had not used yet.  It has taken me a long time to buy any but I love them!  

For my next card, we had to use something new.  Almost everything in this card was new to me.  The circles are Spellbinders that I had not used yet, the background stamp and image stamp I bought the last time Peachy Keen had a sale.  I love that cute little cupid!  The cupid was colored with Copics and stickles were added to the cloud, wings, and halo.  The flag die came from My Creative Time.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!  I am so excited to welcome 2013, 2012 has had more than it's fair share of challenges.  I do have a card to share with you today.  I know that the holidays are officially over but it's never too soon to start for next year. :)  Plus, I could not resist playing with the files I just bought from Stinking Cute Paper Piecings.  Adorable!  I ran the scarf, snow and ski's through my Big Kick to add some texture.  I also added some stickles to the snow but it's a little hard to see in the picture.  To finish it up, I added some brads to the side, chalk, glossy accents, and doodling!

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:

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 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.

Challenge Me Monday #131

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Mine was good but super busy.  I am ready for things to slow down for me a bit but I am not sure that will happen anytime soon.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this week at FCCB we want to see your projects with the color pink.

My project is not Breast Cancer themed but it does contain the color pink. :)  The base of my card was cut at 4"x5.5"  The ice cream cone was cut at 3.5" and came from Simply Charmed.  I used Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo punch to punch different layers of color and then added some twine.  To finish the card off I added an adorable Peachy Keen face, some chalk, and doodling.

Hello everyone!  It's Monday which means it's challenge time at FCCB!  It is hard to believe that it is already the middle of September.  Summer is on its way out and the cooler weather is on it's way in.  After the heat we had this summer, I have so ready for cooler temperatures.  This week at FCCB we want to see your end of summer projects.

Challenge Me Monday & Winner!

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at FCCB!  I hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend!  This week's theme is On The Job.  We want to see your occupation inspired projects.  For my card, I used both my Cricut and Silhouette.  My Gypsy was not cooperating and my cartridges are so unorganized.  I didn't realize how reliant I was on it until it decided not to work.  The matted images came from Elegant Edges and the nurse is a Lettering Delights Simple Shapes file.  I stamped a Peachy Keen face on her, added some twine, glossy accents, and some doodling.

Before I forget, I used Random.org to draw the winner from the Cricut Crawl.  Congrats Kim!  I will send you an email shortly so I can get your cartridge in the mail!

PKS Anything Goes

Hello everyone!  Happy Labor Day weekend!  I have a birthday card to share with you that I am entering in PKS Anything Goes Challenge.  Everything was cut with my Silhouette.  The mat files and banner I used came from the Silhouette Store.  Hulk is an SVG that came from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I love these superhero files.  They are perfect for boy cards and so easy to cut out and put together.  I inked the edges of the banner and Hulk with Peeled Paint distress ink.  I added some chalk and doodling and was done.
