"Jumping for Joy" ...

Had this little cutie cut out from the Cricut Recess cartridge for a while and finally finished up the card for Creative Time Emma's "Throwback Thursday Challenge".

Here are the details for this challenge:

*** This challenge is a SPORTS CHALLENGE! Use any sports cartridge you have & if you don't own any sports theme carts, just use anything you have & just make sure it has something to do w/sports!:)

My eighth grade daughter was the inspiration for this card ... her school colors are red & white.  "Go Lions!"  The card is 4.25 x 5.5 inches and the little cheerleader is cut at 3.5 inches and stamped with Peachy Keen's "Wide eyed kids" face stamp.  I used My Creative Time's "Anyday Bingo & Crossword" stamp set for the little "S" on her uniform and the "Just a Little Note to Say ... " stamp set for the sentiment.  

- Cricut "Recess" cartridge (cheerleader) 3.5 inches

- My Creative Time stamps

- Peachy Keen stamps (Wide eyed kids face assortment)

- October Afternoon (printed paper)

- Paper Trey Ink / Stampin Up (cardstock)

- crinkle ribbon (etsy)

Can't wait for Miss Emma's new stamp release on Friday ... hope my paycheck is extra-big this week!

Life's a Beach!

Yay, summer has finally come to Wisconsin!  Decided to make this little easel card for Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Me Monday.  This challenge involves making a water themed project.  This one was a lot of fun ... picking out all the little details.  I used Everyday Paper Dolls and Life's a Beach cartridges ... also Berries and Cream Imagine cartridge for her little bathing suit and the flip flops (loving this one a lot lately!)  The faces are, of course, Peachy Keen stamps (Simple Sallies & Wide-eyed Kids).  Used My Creative Time's "Just a Little Note to Say ..." stamp set for the sentiment!

- Cricut (Everyday Paper Dolls, Life's a Beach, Berries and Cream)
- girl, sun, bucket & shovel cut at 3.5, flip flops & flower cut at .8 inches

- printed paper (Creative Memories - sand, American Crafts - water)

- The Twinery (twine bows)

- Peachy Keen face stamps (Simple Sallies, Wide Eyed Kids)

- My Creative Time "Just a Little Note to Say ..." stamps (sentiment)

Don't Worry ... be happy!

This was a really fun card to make for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time.  I have been wanting to use this cute little girl on a card for quite some time and this was just the push I needed.  Emma's adorable sentiment stamp is just perfect for this ... from her "Turn That Frown Upside Down" set.

The challenge involved using any of the Lite cartridges and some form of "bling".  I chose the Playtime cart for the little ice cream girl and Twinkle toes for the frame shape.  Of course, she needed a Peachy Keen face to go with it!  I used Glossy Accents for the little tear in her eye and the ice cream scoops.

- Playtime cartridge (girl)

- Twinkle Toes cartridge (frame)

- Cuttlebug embossing folder "Polka Dots"

- My Creative Time "Turn That Frown Upside Down" sentiment

- Peachy Keen Stamps (Wide Eyed Kids Assortment)

- The Twinery twine (blossom color)

- Echo Park (printed paper)
