cold for almost the entire month.

Finally went to the Dr. today and

it is only a viral infection, my lungs are

clear, thank goodness!!

 

My husband and I also took a vacation

to Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago

Portland is so green and beautiful!!

 

One great thing that happened was

I finally got my brand new Sillouette Cameo

this week!!  I am so excited to share my

very first project with you today.

 

This weeks Peachy Keen Challenge

I made the following card with the free

SVG files that are provided to the

The pattern paper is from

DCWV Nana's Kitchen Stack

of My Mind's Eye Washi Tape

Isn't she adorable!!

I first cut her  with my Cameo

using my blender pen and

some Stampin Up ink and markers.

Make Lemonade

 

Hello, I have a quick post to share with you today.

I made a card for the

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-15 - Photo Inspiration

 

Here is the photo inspiration:

 

 

I took my inspiration from the colors,

the fruit and the drink.

Here is my card:

 

The mason jar stamp from the Peachy Keen

April SOTM reminded me of Lucille's Smokehouse.

They serve all their drinks in mason jars.

Their lemonade is especially yummy.

I stamped the jar using Brilliance Starlite Silver ink

I then colored in the lemonade using

my Stampin Up markers in Yoyo Yellow.

I then coved the entie jar with Glossy Accents.

(as you can see, the color ran a little...oopps!!)

The sentiment came from Just Becasue Cards

Cricut Cartridge cut at 2.5".

 

My cute little lemons were cut from Simply Charmed

at 1.75" and the lemon slices were cut

from Savory at 2.6".  The cute faces

on my lemons are from the

"Erkle and Merkle" Assortment.

 

The papers are from My Mind's Eye

6x6 Happy Day paper pad.

The ribon is from Michaels.

I also added some distress ink.

 

I will also entering this card in the following challenges:

Everyday is an Occasion~ Linky Party

Also, I am  very excited to say that my husband told me

last night to go ahead and order my Silouette Cameo!!

It was the one and only thing I want for my birthday this month

and now it is ordered and I hope to be playing with it soon!!

I have asked my son for a gift card from either the

or Miss Kate Cuttables!!

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

but I cut this doily using my new

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

This is going to be a very picture heavy post!!

First off, I want to thank everyone for

wishing my Sweet Pea a Happy Birthday!!

Here is a funny picture of her not

looking too happy to share her birthday

cake with her sister Jasmine!!

So, on to my cards.  I recently purchased a great

little card kit from Archiver's Annex.

It came with the Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint

stamps that I have seen elsewhere for $20.00

for the stamps alone.  The card kit was $20.00

and it included the stamps, some cardstock,

tags, a bottle of Stickles, a 6x6 MME paper

pack and a roll of Jute string!!

What a great deal!!  Here is the set of cards I made.

In all these pictures is is hard to see the card base,

but I cut them all at 4x4 from the brown cardstock

that was included in the kit.  The pattern papers

are from the paper pack included as well as

my scrap box.  I used a variety of products on

all the cards, I will list them at the bottom.

 On this card I used Twine &

Turquoise and Lime Green Stickles

 

  On this card I used the Jute String, 

Want 2 Scrap Bling &

Magenta and Cherry Ice Stickles

For this card I used Glitter Tulle, Want 2 Scrap

Bling and Lagoon Stickles

These next two cards are the first ones I made

and they do not include and dry embossing.

I used Webster's Pages Trim, Recollections

Bling and Yellow Stickles on this one.

I loved the butterfly so much, I used it twice!!

This card has sheer ribbon, Recollentions Bling

and Lime Green Stickles

Materials:

Various colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

 her as her birthday!!  I cannot believe that she has

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

 

Ok, on to my project for today :)

I made two cards for the

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge

and

My Craft Spot - Sweet Baby Challenge

 

I made identical baby boy and baby girl cards.

 

 

I started with a sheet of kraft cardstock that I cut

in half to make my 2 A2 sized cards.

The pattern paper is from a 6x6

My Mind's Eye paper pack called

Sweetest Thing.

The next layer is a Spellbinders Label 11.

I've embossed it using a Sizzix

folder called Phrase, Baby.

My sweet babies are a combination.

The bodies are cut at 3" from Baby Steps.

The head and faces are from

Peachy Keen's March SOTM.

I have inked everthing up with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen,

Broken China and Worn Lipstick.

 

I added a little chalk and freckles to their cheeks.

I have also added just a bit of Stickles

around the edge of  their bonnets in

Cotton Candy and Baby Blue.

I used my 3 Girl Jam Bow maker to tie

some double bows using My Craft Spot

crinkle ribbon in Petal Pink and Sky Blue.

The tags are from the Tiny Tags Stamps and Dies

from My Craft Spot.

 

I now have 2 cards ready for the next baby shower!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!



 

Happy Day

Hello to All My Crafty Friends.

I have a sweet little card to share with you today,

that I made for a few challenges.

The first challenge is the
Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge.
Here is the sketch:



Here is my take on the sketch

I started with paper from My Mind's Eye.

I embossied the flowered paper with

the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder

and the yellow paper with a folder

from the Damask Decor set.

I inked each side with some

Tim Holtz Distress ink

in Old Paper and Weathered Wood.

I used one of the adorable fairy stamps from

the Peachy Keen June 2012 SOTM.

I colored her in with my Stampin' Up markers.

I added some Stickles in Fruit Punch, Waterfall

and Stardust to make her sparkle!

The doily border is a new We R Memory Keepers

punch that I got from HSN.

I added a crocheted flower that I

purchased from Created by Tatiana.

The tag and sentiment are

from My Craft Spot and is

tied on with some Flax twine

from The Twinery.

I finished the whole thing off with

some pearl bling from

Want 2 Scrap.

I will be entering this card in the

following challeges:
