Challenge- PKS- Radiating Sun & PKS Faces

Somewhere over the rainbow...


I made this card for a Peachy Keen Challenge. The theme was to make something that radiates the warmth of the sun and incorporates your peachy keen stamps.

I made a rainbow cut from Once Upon a Princess and stamped it with a Peachy Keen Stamp face. I used some stickles on the stars to give it some bling. I used an EK punch on one border. I love the way it turned out.

Challenge- Pirate Theme

I made this pirate theme layout for some picture of my daughter at a pirate theme birthday party. Still looking for the pictures...they seem to have disappeared. Weird.

Challenge- MPS 3D for School

Hello,

I love spoiling my kids teachers with treats and goodies through out the school year. So I decided to make a milk carton with some treats inside for their teachers. I have been wanting to make a milk carton for soooo long. Well, I did it!! Now I'm hooked--LOL!

I used my Imagine and a cartridge called All Wrapped Up. It is the only Cricut cart with a milk carton cut on it.

Here is what the milk carton looks like before (this is a different print though) and as its getting put together.










So sorry for the upside down and sideway pictures, my computer would not let me rotate them for some reason.

Challenge Card- Bling

Hello,
I am entering this card into the Delightful Sketches challenge. I almost didn't make the deadline. I had about 2 hours to whip up a card. I had some Xmas paper laying around so I went with it. I put some stickles bling and a bell for bling and I think this reindeer is so cute. My background paper also has some glitter bling.

Challenge- Back to School #76, PK Back to School & Creative Inspirations


I am entering this project into three challenges:

  • Fantabulous Cricut- Back to School #76
  • Peachy Keen- Back to School
  • Creative Inspirations- Back to School

I wanted to make a little treat bag for my kids school teachers, so I decided to try a new kind of bag.

FC challenged me to use some ABC letter or 123 numbers. I chose to run with my M&M letters to match my candy inside and used the letter M...and I guess the word "Sweetness" that I stamped counts too, since we are talking about letters and words here.


PK challenged me to incorporate Peachy Keen face stamps, which I love. I chose to use a Winter Face and stamp it next to the hand written note I made on the inside flap that the teacher will see when she opens the package.



I used Plantin to cut out the circles and the letter m. The stamp sentiment is from MPS, Sweetest Cupcakes. The ribbon is from Michaels. The edge punch is a Martha Stewart punch (sorry I forgot to write the name on the punch, so I have no idea what its called now). The bag I used in the inside is from the jewelry department in Michaels and is size Medium in a blue and black box. The mini M&M can be found in your grocery store.
I love how it turned out!

Challenge- Shape Card & Halloween

I am entering this card into two challenges:

  • Shaped Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World
  • Delightful Sketches



I cut the card base from Wild Card and two circle layers. I stamped the edge of the card base with a wheat stamp I had from Prima. Doesn't it sing Autumn? I also stamped the word Halloween on top with a MPS stamp. I cut the smallest circle into four parts and used two of each color I cut. I cut a scallop from Mini Monograms (I'm so glad I purchased this cartridge, I turned it down once and later realized I did need such a cartridge). I cut the big pumpkin on my Gypsy from Gypsy Wanderings (I have been finding so many handy things on GW). I was going to add some Stickles on the yellow "light up" face parts, but I ended up liking it plain. I made hand cut grass. I used an EK Pumpkin punch for the line of pumpkins--it's such a cute punch. I also colored through the cutout parts around the edge of the scallop onto the inside of the card with a Copic marker so when the card is closed it doesn't look so plain with the white showing through. Hope this card gets your Halloween juices flowing.
