Orange You Sweet!

Oops ... just realized I never posted this for the Scrappy Mom's "Terrific Tuesday Challenge."  The cartridge this week is "Preserves."  I needed a little thank you card, so I chose the orange along with the sentiment from the their "Sun Kissed" stamps set.  The paper is from DCWV's Mango Frost stack and the cute little face is Peachy Keen's "Everyday Character Face Assortment."

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)

"Pretty Peas"

My Creative Time's Emma is hosting another Throwback Thursday challenge ... this  time using either Cricut's "Wild Card" or "Just Because Cards" cartridge and some type of embossing.

This was a great excuse to pull out two cartridges which I haven't utilized too much.  I chose the peas from Just Because Cards and dressed them up "pretty".  I stamped the little peas with the smallest size of Peachy Keen's "Princess Face Assortment" set.  The embossing on the background is my "polka dots" Cuttlebug folder.  The little tiara came from Cricut's "Paper Doll Dress Ups" and I added a little silver Stickles.

- Peachy Keen "Princess Face Assortment" stamps

- printed paper (Cricut Imagine's Bubblegum Stripes cart)

- Stickles

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

Throwback Thursday challenge at My Creative Time

This card is for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge at "My Creative Time".  She is giving away a set of all 4 of her AWESOME stamps that are coming out this Friday .... can't wait to see them.

The challenge includes using the "Doodlecharms" cartridge and the color "blue".  I decided to use the sweet little seahorse and peachify her with one of the stamps from the Peachy Keen Critter Face set.

- Doodlecharms (seahorse); Baby Steps (label)

- printed paper by "Flair Designs"

- sentiment by "Pink by Design" (Summer Vacation)

Welcome to my blog!

I am very new to this whole blogging thing, so please bear with me.  I have a ton to figure out yet, but thought I'd give it a try since I love seeing everyone else's crafty little blogs.  Here's one of the cards I made this weekend.  

It features the adorable Peachy Keen CottageCutz Duck Die and accessories.  Isn't she just the cutest?  Printed paper is by K & Company "Carolyn Gavin Greenhouse" pad.  Card stock is by Paper Trey Ink.  Used Cuttlebug "Spots & Dots" embossing folder and twine by "The Twinery" in Caribbean.  My sentiment is cut from Cricut "Once Upon a Princess" cart and the cute sentiment is from Pink By Design's "Summer Vacation" stamp set.  I used Stickles Fruit Punch on the little innertube and Waterfall on the water splashes.

Thanks for stopping by!
