Hello and happy Saturday!!

I have a card to share with you that I made for the

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge

I used a few different Peachy Keen sets for this

card.  I started with a plain white A2 card base.

I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink

in Stormy Sky and Mowed Lawn.

I then stamped the flowers from the

April SOTM.  I then paper pieced each flower

with some pattern paper from Doodlebug.

I colored in the leaves and added some

Stardust Stickles to add some sparkle.

The cute little skunk is from the Cottage Cutz

Stinky Skunk  Die and Stamp set designed

by Peachy Keen.  I cut her from gray cardstock and

then added  some Distress Ink in Black Soot.  I

stamped one  of the faces that came with the

die and added glossy accents. 

My sun is a punched circle cut down to fit in the

corner and I added some Distress Ink in

Mustard Seed and Wild Honey.  The cute face is

from the new Moodies Assortment from Peachy Keen.

My banner was cut from My Creative Time die

and the sentment is from Pink By Design

"Country Life" stamp set.  Stamped with

Halloween Treats

Hello all my crafty friends. 

First off I just want to send my thoughts and

prayers to all affected by Hurricane Sandy!!

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pics.

These are the treat bags I made for

the 5 grandkids that live

here in California.

Their church has a Harvest Festival

so they do not really celebrate Halloween.

I made it easy on myself this year

and made the same bag for each one!!

I used Simply Charmed for the pumpkins

The font for the sentiment is from

A Child's Year, welded on my gypsy.

I used Peachy Keen Cornie Faces and

New Year's Faces for the pumpkin faces.

Here are the little treats I made for mine

and my hubby's coworkers.

I used the My Creative Time Tri-Fold Card Die.

The label is from Lacey Labels and the sentiment

is from Pink By Design.  I added some crinkle ribbon,

buttons from Recollections and more of my

homemade stickpins!!

They loved them, some of the ladies

took the stick pins off and were wearing them

on their lapels!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am entering these treats in the following challenges:

The first is a beautiful K & Co. Designer Paper Pack

My 2nd giveaway is a set of Cuttlebug embossing folders.

It is the Companion Folders for Preserves.

This set coordinates beautifully with the

Preserves Cricut Cartridge

or any fruit cut!!

Here is a picture of my

4 big princes (3 sons and a son-in-law)

and the KING!! (hehe, my husband)

Aren't they a handsome bunch!!

Tomorrow, I will show you a picture of my grandsons!

As many princes as I have in my life, I do not make

very many masculine or boy themed cards. 

So this hop was the perfect opportunity to make

something for one of the many princes in my life!!

Now, on to my project for today.

I made a card using the Playtime Lite Cartridge.

My son in law had a birthday this week and he loves to fish,

so I made this card for him!!

This cute little boy was cut at 3.5".  Now he originally came

wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but I made a matching gift bag

 that you will see tomorrow, so I used the overalls

from another figure from Playtime.  I stamped his face

with Peachy Keens Boy Mates stamp set.  Isn't he too cute!!

I tore some paper for the water and the hill he is standing on.

The sun was cut from the iTop and wrapped with

twine, inked and stickled.  The clouds are stickled too.

Even thought this is a boy card, I had to

put a little bling...LOL

This cute sentiment is from Pink by Design

"Simply Everything" stamp set.

I stamped it then heat embossed it

with Zing Embossing Powder.

Please come back tomorrow to see the matching

gift bag I made and for some more fun and a

FABULOUS Surprise at the end of the hop.

Vampire Shape Card

I made this card in less than an hour.  It was super easy, but I love the way it came out.  Isn't he too cute??

Sorry,  the pictures did not come out great.  I used the card feature on Mini Monsters for this card.  I cut all the layers at 5.6".  I added a cute little face from Peachy Keens Monster Mash Assortment. 

I also felt it needed a sentiment, so I cut the sign post from Walk in My Garden and used a stamp from Pink By Design's A Haunting We Will Go.  I used a little bit of Dried Burlap Distress Ink on the sign and the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug Folder.  A embossed his vest and his hair to add a little dimension, and I added a little bling and glossy accents.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Peanut Birthday Card

I made some extra Peanuts and made this card to enter in the Birthday Sundaes - Challenge 25.  Once again the Peanut is from Create a Critter.  I used Peachy Keens Wide Eyed Kids face stamp, and a Sizzix embossing folder.  The patterned paper is from Imaginisce Animal Crackers line.  The little tag and Happy Birthday tag stamp is from Stampin Up.  The Sentiment is from Pink By Design "Be Mine" set.  I used twine from My Craft Spot to tie the tag to a piece of ribbon from my stash.

Hugs and Kisses,
Kathy
