Whimsical Wednesdays "Getting Sketchy" Challenge







Hello everyone! It's time for a new Whimsical Wednesday challenge! This time the challenge is to follow the sketch to create a card. Our own Nanne created this fabulous sketch this week!
I decided to do a St. Patrick's Day card since that is just around the corner. Plus I couldn't get this cute leprechaun with that oh so funny face out of my head! I just had to make it.... LOL!
I followed the sketch and printed and cut the leprechaun from Simply Charmed using my Imagine and CCR. I did some inking and stamped the face with Peachy Keen's Happy New Year Assortment. I gave him green bubbles because he's been drinking some green beer! LOL! Some of the pattern paper is cut printed from the Blossom cart and the poka dot's I stamped. The shamrocks were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I stamped the face with the same PK set. To finish I did some doodling on the cuts and stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
I hope you all will play along this week and don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created. Have a great day and thanks for looking!
I am going to enter this into a couple of challenges:
My Craft Spots Monday challenge which is " Make Us Laugh"
Krafty Girls - St. Patricks Day Theme
Little Scrap Pieces- Use green

Peachy Keen Release Challenge #1




Good morning everyone! I attended the super fun Peachy Keen release party yesterday and they have a few challenges to go along with the fun. So this is the card that I created for challenge #1 which is to use at least 2 pattern papers.
I used CCR and my Imagine for the entire card. The card base was cut from Birthday Bash and I filled it with the pattern paper from Best Friends. I also cut the mats in co-ordinating colors. The cat on the line was cut from Meow and I filled the socks with pattern paper from Best Friends. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face stamp. The grass I cut by hand and stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments. To finish I added a black stitching line around the card.
I hope you like my card and hopefully I will have 1 more posted before the day is over! Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful day!

Attitude!




Happy Friday everyone! I am so happy the weekend is finally here! I have a card today that just cracks me up! Between that adorable face and the sentiment, I think it is SO funny. I have a Yorkie and I can totally see him say this....if he could talk anyways! LOL!
I cut the dog from Four Legged Friends and inked all the edges of the cuts. The face was stamped from Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face stamps and the sentiment is from Mr. Cricut Crazy's Razzel set. The paper I used is from the Recollections Bold Basics stack. I LOVE this stack! All the papers co-ordinate so easily.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Mojo Monday sketch
2. Die Cuttin Diva's- Favorite Pet
3. Paper Playtime- Pets and sentiment

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

"Time Flies" Whimsical Wednesday Challenge



Hello everyone! It's Wednesday which means a new Whimsical Wednesday challenge. This time the challenge is "Time Flies". Create a card or project and you must include either something with wings or a clock.
I have been playing in CCR again! LOL! I am having a ball creating these cute cuts with no other cartridge except for George and Basic Shapes. I made the bee using various shapes and welding them together. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Cornies face stamp and embossed the wings with the Mesh Texture embossing folder. The cloud I cut by hand and did some chalking and stitched line with a colored pencil. The face was also stamped with a Cornies face stamp and I pop dotted the middle part for some dimention. The grass is just a strip of paper that I fringed with scissors and added a ribbon to. The papers I used were printed form my Imagine using the Blossom cartridge. To finish I stamped the sentiment and added a dotted line. The stamp is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1. set.
I hope you all will play along this week and don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created. We have some new girls on the DT, so there will be plenty of inspiration for you all! Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Peachy Keen Friends Challenge



Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made to enter into Peachy Keen's Friends card challenge this week. I LOVE my PK faces and can't pass up the chance to play with them! :)
I printed and cut the owl's from Paisley using Imagine Blossom for the pattern papers. I stamped the eyes with Peachy Keens Critter Faces and the beaks were stamped and cut out from Peachy Keens Everyday Character Face Parts. I inked all the edges and added bling centers to the flowers. I also added bling to the corners of the card and did a stitching line around the upper part of the card with a colored pencil. For the bottom half of the card I cut 1/2 strips of paper and cut V's into them. I then lined them up across the card and added a ribbon. The sentiment was stamped from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
I hope you all are having a wonderful day and thanks for looking!

Sorry I Was Crabby...



Hello everyone! Here is a fun card that I made for Fantabulous Cricuts challenge. This week the challenge is "puns". I love a good pun, so I couldn't pass this one up.
I cut and printed this entire card using my Imagine. The sun, castle, and crab were cut from Create A Critter and I used Imagine More for the colors and patterns. I stamped the sun and crabs face with Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids stamps and inked all the edges. I did some stitching with white and black pens and hand cut the banner which I stamped with a stamp from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments set.

I am also going to enter this into Cardz TV challenge. This time the challenge is " A Stitch In Time". Add real or faux stitching.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
