My #2 Spoiled Dog is a minature poodle

so we have to get her groomed at

least every 8 weeks otherwise

she looks like a shaggy dog!!

Here she is looking

like a princess again :)

So, it happened to be perfect that the

challenge over at 

Peachy Keen

this week was to make

a 3D Pet Theme Item!!

I made this cute treat box

for my girls.

 I used the August Stamp of the Month

for the dog, bowl and biscuit.

My doggie's face is from the

Happy Go Lucky Dog

Faces stamp set.

I used my Silhouette Cameo

to cut the SVG images

and then stamped them

while they were still on my mat.

 Here is a view from the top.

My box was cut from the

Bone Treat Box Cutting File

from SVG Cutting Files.
I added some pretty
trim from Webster's Pages
to the lid.

I colored my images with my

Stampin Up markers and

some chalk.  I gave my puppy

some pearls on her collar :)

 I doodled a few

hearts onto her bowl.

I filled it with some treats

for my sweet spoiled girls!!

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge # 13-22

 

Wow, I cannot believe it has been a month

since I have posted anything!!

May has been a tough month for me.

I have been sick with a bad chest

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

and I absolutely loved it!!

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

is a Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch:

 

 

I made the following card with the free

SVG files that are provided to the

Peachy Keen Stamp of the month

subscription members.

 

The pattern paper is from

DCWV Nana's Kitchen Stack

and I have added a strip

of My Mind's Eye Washi Tape

and some Recollections Gems.

 

Here is a close up of the Piggy!

Isn't she adorable!!

I first cut her  with my Cameo

along with a shadow using

the offset feature, wow,

so easy to create!!

I then stamped the image

onto the cut piece

I added a little defination

using my blender pen and

some Stampin Up ink and markers.

I also added some glossy accents

to the eyes, hooves and tummy.

I created my sentiment using My Creative Time

and K Andrews stamps.

 



 

My piggy is mounted on an Action Wobble,

 

Thank You Peachy Keen for the free SVG's!!

I cannot wait to create and share more

projects using my Cameo!!

 

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:

Here is the photo inspiration:

 

 

 

And here is my card:

 

 

 

The papers are from
My Mind's Eye and Webster's Pages.

I used Spellbinders Scalloped

Circle and Standard Circle dies.

The little birdie and sentiment

are from the June 2012 SOTM.

I colored it with my Stampin Up markers.

The tree branch is from Close to My Heart

"Whooo Loves You" stamp set.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I used 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon

and the bow maker to make

my double bow.  I added some

pearl gems from my stash.



Theme Day Thursday - Use Peachy Keen Stamps

Oh I have been waiting for this day!!

The theme for today was to use one of my most favorite things, Peachy Keen Stamps!!

I love, love, love using Peachy Keen stamps on my projects.

I decided to make a St. Patty's Day card, using the

Peachy Keen February Stamp of the Month.

This stamp set is filled with the most

adorable St. Patty's Day images.

Now I used Art Philosophy and

Mini Monograms to make the base of the card.

All other images are Peachy Keen Stamps!!

I cut this window card out with my gypsy by first

putting the scalloped card base

from Art Philosophy on the mat, at 8"w x 9" h.

I then placed 3 scalloped squares on the

front of the card base.

The squares are 2.52" w x 2.8" h.

So the result was a window card!! 

Of course I saved the scalloped

squares to use on another project.

Next came the stamping!!  I stamped 2 of the

4 leaf clovers on to green cardstock.

I stamped the hat onto white cardstock and the

 face onto a blush colored cardstock.

I colored the hat using my Stampin Up Markers

and highlighted with a metallic gel pen.

I added some glossy accents and chalk to the face.

I outlined the 4 leaf clovers with lime green stickles.

The LUCKY sentiment is also from the same set!!

The pattern paper is from a holiday pack by Papercraft.

The two clovers and the leprechan were

mounted onto action wobbles.I finished the card off

with some crinkle ribbon from Praire Bird Boutique.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, I know it make me smile!!

Thanks for visiting today and please make sure

Theme Day Thursday - Cartridge - Elegant Edges

 For today's Theme Day Thursday, we could make a
Seasame Street project or use the Elegant Edges cartridge.

I chose to use Elegant Edges since I do not yet

own any of the Seasame Streets cartridges!!

For this card the two base images are from Elegant Edges. 
I thought the layer with the sun cutout

would be perfect for using with my new
Peachy Keen February Stamp of the month.
The first layer was cut at 5.69"w x 4.65" h
The layer with the sun was cut at 4.23"w x 5.4"h
I embossed this layer with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
The clouds were cut from Create a Critter at 2"
I added some yellow stickles to the sun

The pattern paper was from my scrap pile,
so not sure where it's from!!
All other paper is Coordinations.

Here is a close up of the rainbow which

I stamped and cut out from

Peachy Keen's February stamp of the month set.

I colored the rainbow with my Stampin' Up markers.

As you can see, my coloring has a long way to go!!

I covered the entire rainbow with Glossy Accents to make it shiny.

I embossed the clouds with Cuttlebug's Divine Swirls folder.

The face stamp is from the same Peachy Keen set.

I finished  my card off by tying some twine at the top and adding a sentiment from

My Creative Time's "Teeny Tag Greetings" die and stamp set.

I inked all the edges with my brand new

Sweetheart Inkers from We R Memory Keepers.

I am loving these inkers!!

Please stop by My Cricut Craft Room

I am entering this in the Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #51

Card Creating Tuesday - Use Distress Inks

For my ***100 Follower Giveaway***, please click HERE

Happy Tuesday all my crafty friends!!

Today is Card Creating Tuesday, and the theme was to make a Valentine's Card, or to use Distress Inks.  I signed up to use Distress Inks, but I used them on a Valentine's day card!!  I have to say that this may just be my favorite of all the valentines cards I have made this year!!

Here is a picture of the supplies that I used for today's card:

I started with a piece of kraft cardstock

from The Paper Company.

I cut the heart shaped card from the

Wild Card Cricut Cartridge at 5".

Next, I used the Divne Swirls Cuttlebug folder to emboss the card.  I then rubbed, Fired Brick Distress Ink all over the embossing.  Then I sprayed the card with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist.  Don't you just love the glimmery sparkle!!

Next, I took a white doily heart that

I have had laying around for a few years!!

I inked that up with Tea Dye Distress ink and also

sprayed with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist.

So next I used the brand new Peachy Keen January Stamp of the month to stamp this adorable little angel!!  I stamped her onto a blush colored cardstock and then colored her in with my Stampin Up Stamp and Write markers and a blending pen.  I added Yellow Stickles to her halo, some tinsel glitter to her wings and some glossy accents.  She is just so adorable, don't you agree!!

I stamped the darling little sentiment from the same stamp set onto the blush colored cardstock with Fired Brick Distress Ink and then hand cut the banner.  I coved the heart with Xmas Red Stickles.  I inked up the banner with the Fired Brick Distress Ink and then crumbled it up

 and then adhered it to my card with foam tape.

I finished off the card with a little bow tied from Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot in Vanilla Bean, which I also colored with the Fired Brick Distress ink.

Here is my finished card.

I have entered this card in the following Challenges:

25 Days of December - Day 18 - ELF

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room 25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects  day.  Don't forget to stop by

Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.

http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

Today's theme was to use an ELF!

Here is my project....

My project was to use Peachy Keen Stamps:

Isn't he the cutest little guy!!  I have been wanting Jolly Holidays since it came out last year, but kept putting off buying it.  Now that the Christmas is here, I have been trying to buy this everywhere, and it either wasn't available or I kept losing the bids on ebay!!  Well guess what, I ended it up winning the cartridge from the wonderful Pam at http://craftycards4u2.blogspot.com/!!  I knew when I signed up for this day in the 25 Days of December that my cartridge was on its way, and I wanted to use this cute little elf!!

I cut the elf and all his layers at 3.75".  I added the super cute Peachy Keen face from the Wide Eyed Kids Assortment.  I added some liquid Applique to his hat, and some bling for the buttonson his pants.  I also added stickles to the string of lights.  The piece of cardstock he is sitting on is from Stampin Up, and I punched it with Martha Stewarts Skyland Snowflake Punch Around the Page.  The pattern paper is from the DCWV Christmas Glitter Stack.  The sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts 'Have a Cool Yule" set.

I added some bakers twine from My Craft Spot and some bling to the center of the snowflakes.

Thanks again for visiting and come back again tomorrow :)

Happy Crafting!
