Monkey Pick Me Up

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I ate WAY too much, but enjoyed spending time with my family. It also happened to be my anniversary yesterday.

Here is card #2 for the PK Connection challenges. This one was a sketch challenge

The monkey was cut from Life's A Party and I stamped his face with a PK Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face stamp. The oval mats were cut from Plantin Schoolbook. I hand cut the sentiment banners and stamped all the sentiments from Whimsical Designs. 

I hope you all have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Wobble Wednesday Bunny

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I have a card to show you today that I did for a couple of challenges. I found a new challenge blog and wanted to play! It's called Wobble Wednesday's and it's all about action wobbles. Your free to do any sort of project as long as it has an action wobble on it. FUN FUN FUN!
For my project I made this card. I miss-cut the blue mat for a different project that I made and loved the way it looked in this card, so I used it. It's cut from Once Upon A Princess. The bunny in the flower and extra flowers were cut from Baby Steps. I just love the cute little bunnies, bears, and chicks that can be found in the font sections of this cart! I always refer to them as the hidden gems! LOL! I stamped the bunny face with a Peachy Keen Ballin' Bunnies face from the Sampler Package of Faces. One of my all time favorite crafty items is the PK faces. In my opinion they add SO much character to an otherwise ordinary cut. Then again, if you visit my blog regularly, you already know how much I love my PK faces! :)
To finish I inked all the edges of the cuts and of course added my bunny to an action wobble. It was a little too big for my cut, so I trimmed in the sides so it wouldn't show. I wasn't sure if it would stay together, but it did! I also stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 stamp set.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Wobble Wednesday's- All about bunnies: Use an Action Wobble and a bunny
2. Little Scrap Pieces- My Favorite Things- use one of your favorite crafty items on your project
Have a wonderful day and thanks for looking!

Happy Easter Door Hanger

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you the door hanger I did for my front door for Easter. I can't believe that Easter is only a week and half away! Where does the time go?!?!
I cut the scallop mat from Cricut Craft Room Basics at 12 inches and used some Aqua Blue Timeless Twine around the scallops and inside. This took some time but I think so well worth it! The basket and eggs were cut from Doodlecharms and I inked around all the edges. The bunny was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face stamp. The grass I cut by hand and the the Happy Easter was cut from Robots. To finish I added a bow to the basket handle, added a twine bow to the bunny, and stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Twineology By Timeless Twine- Egg-celent March Challenge: Easter Eggs and twine is spring colors
2. Little Scrap Pieces- Use the color yellow
3. Krafty Girls- Challenge #4 For Peeps Sakes: Easter

Happy Hello

Good morning everyone! Here is the card that I made for Peachy Keen's Just Card's Faux Stitching challenge. I had so much fun making this card and I just LOVE how cute it is. Then again, anything with a PK face is cute to me! LOL!
I used my Imagine and Loris Garden for all the colored paper in this card. The bunny was cut from Simply Charmed and I hid the entire face to just make it a plain bunny. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face stamp and did a faux stitching line around him. I also used colored pencils for the highlights on the carrot. The sun was cut from Smiley Cards and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Happy Lashes face and added a faux stitching line around him as well. The grass and fence were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I hand punched the flower. I used a black and white pen for the centers on the flowers and did a faux stitching line around the entire card as well as the sentiment tag. The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments.
I hope you all like my card and thanks for looking! Have a great Sunday!

"Celebrate Spring" Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Hello everyone. It is with a super sad heart to say that this will be the last Whimsical Wednesday challenge. Stephanie had decided to take some well deserved time off and will no longer be hosting challenges. If you're like me, this is one of the first challenge's that I found when I first started blogging and played in too. I know that it will be missed greatly by a lot of you. Stephanie has been the most wonderful person to DT for and I will miss this very much. I also just want to say THANK YOU STEPHANIE for being such a wonderful friend and the awesome stamps you provided us with.You went above and beyond what most do and I want to let you know that I greatly appreciated it. XOXOXO
So now on to the last challenge....
It's time for a new Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. This time the challenge is "Celebrate Spring". Create any card or project to celebrate spring. This can be a spring image, colors, you decide how you celebrate spring.
I made this pretty card with the colors of spring in mind and bird's chirping. That's one of my favorite things about spring, waking up to the birds chirping.
My card is fairly simple, just a lot of layers. I cut all the layers and rounded some of the corners with a corner punch and inked all the edges. I made the banner in the center by cutting it by hand and the scallop center mat was cut from Cricut Craft Room Basics. I used my sewing machine and sewed around the blue mat and printed and cut the bird from the Imagine Lori's Garden cart. To finish I added a ribbon that I made using a brad center and stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 stamp set.

I hope you all will play along this week and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the amazing DT has created! Have a great day and I can't wait to see what you will create!

Happy Chick!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I am in heaven right now! It's only March 17, and it is supposed to be 76 degrees here today!!!! YAY! It has been in the upper 60's and lower 70's ALL week! Thus, I am in heaven...LOL! I have had my windows open with a wonderful breeze blowing through my house and all of my tulips are up 8 inches already. Ahhh, spring!
I have a card to show you today that I did for the BBTB2 challenge. This week the challenge is Bunnies and Chicks, use and bunny or chick on your project.
This entire card I did in CCR with my Imagine and all of the colors are from the Best Friends cart. The card base was cut by welding 2 scallop circles together from Cricut Craft Room Basics and so was the mat. I cut my all time favorite chick from Create A Critter and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Happy Lashes face stamp.I did some inking and added a twine bow to her hair. The shell and nest were also cut from CAC. I embossed the shell with the Seeing Spots Cuttlebug Folder and inked the edges of the nest and did some pen work on it. I also did a stitching line around the outside of the mat, added some twine, and stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments set.
I hope you all liked my card and thanks for looking! Have a wonderful St. Pat's day and weekend!

Create A Critter Kite

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made to enter into the Simply Crafts challenge. This time the challenge cut is the kite from Create A Critter.
I cut the kite from Create A Critter and cut 4 layers for the kite top. I then quartered each one to get the different colors. I used a black pen and did a stitching line and added colored floss bows. The frame is cut from Once Upon A Princess and I embossed the light pink background with the Poka Dots Cuttlebug floder. I cut matching strips of poka dot paper for the side and added a strip of yellow that I crimped and inked. To finish I stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Peachy Purse Bag

Hello everyone! Here is a super cute and fun bag that I made for Peachy Keen's Anything Goes challenge this week. I am always in need of small gift bags, so this will be perfect for my stash. Can you tell that I am DYING for summer by the colors I am using? LOL!
I started by cutting the bag from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More at 12 inches on my 12 X 24 mat. I cut it with my Gypsy so that's how I was able to get it so big. I have to admit that this is my very FIRST time using the 12 X 24 inch mat. I love how big this bag turned out and might be using the big mat a lot more!
I then cut the front layers by using pattern paper and the negative from the first bag cut as a template where to place my pattern paper. After that was cut, I hand trimmed all the pieces 1/4 inch smaller and glued them onto the bag. I cut the cherries from Hello Kitty Greeting's and stamped the faces with Peachy Keen's Cornie's Faces. The tag was cut from Winter Frolic and I attached it to the bag with some decorative fiber. To finish I added a strip of lace to the bottom of the bag, added a ribbon handle, and added a layered flower to the center flap with a brad. I also added a velcro dot to the flap to close the bag and the sentiment was stamped from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
I just love how this bag turned out! Thanks for looking and have a great night!

Happy Bird

The bird and flowered branch was cut from Straight From The Nest and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Cornies face stamp. For the branch I cut 2 and trimmed down the one side to fit around the mat. I also added a rectangle piece to the bottom one to extend it out the width of the card. I colored the centers of the flowers with a white pen and used hole punches for the berries. The butterfly was cut from Indie Art and I embossed the background with Stylized Flowers Cuttlebug folder. To finish I stamped the sentiment which is from Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun Vol. 1.
