Hello, so sorry I have been missing in action the last little while. My husband had a few days off and we decided to do some fun stuff with our kids. Anyway, it is time for another Simply Crafts with Glora and Pam, which is a cut challenge between me and my crafting bestie, Pam, AKA: Simply-Pam. This month Pam chose the cut. It is button #10 on the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge. Her mini skirt was a little too short for me so I added some extra layers... anyway, here is my take on this cut.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will drop by Pam's blog and see what she made with this cut. I'm certain it is FABULOUS. She is SO super talented! Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.
This project came about as a request from my sweet sister-in-law. She sent me a picture of a monkey wind twister and wanted to know if I could make something similar to it with my Gypsy. Here is what I came up with:
This thing is really LONG, it is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet long (maybe longer, I still need to measure it). It has two intersecting tree limbs, a long swirly vine and a double sided monkey stamped with darling Peachy Keen Stamps all interconnected with baker's twine.
This was A LOT of fun to make. I will definitely be making more in the future.
Here is a picture of the original inspiration. I changed some things up just by personal preference.
The current Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge was to make a holiday party invitation. Well we are taking our children to Disneyland for Christmas and I thought it would fun to make an inviation for it. My daughter loves stuff like that. Plus I thought it would look cute in her scrapbook later on too.
I also decided to submit this for the Paper Cutz Challenge since it is Christmas and I used two kinds of patterned paper.
I've been wanting to make a gingerbread girl card for a while. One of my favorite Gingerbread man shapes is the one on the From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge. Emma at My Creative Time had a challenge using this cartridge and here is my gingerbread girl to add to all of the other cute ginger people creations that were made for this challenge.
Items Used:
*From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge
*Peachy Keen Stamps Basic Paperdoll Face Parts and Everyday Face Parts
*Tim Holtz walnut distress ink
*Pink and White Stickles
*Pink polka dot ribbon

I recycled a soup can to make a pencil holder for my daughter's colored pencils. I have a Pampered Chef smooth edge can opener that makes it easy to re use old cans and make them into other useful items. I like it because the edges come out smooth instead of sharp or jagged. Who knew that a kitchen utensil could make such a fun crafting and organizational help. I am submitting this container in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #38. The challenge was to make something other than a card with a fall theme. The PKS face stamps make these Create a Critter leaves so much cuter. I love my face stamps.
I made this card for a sweet neighbor who has shingles for the second time in a month. She has been asking for some crab and lobster. I have never had crab or lobster and know nothing about preparing them. However, I can make them out of paper. So, that is what she will get, along with some cookies. I am submitting this for Emma's Throwback Thursday and My Pink Stamper's random act of kindness challenge. This is the outside of the card.
And here is the inside flap of the card

From My Kitchen
Peachy Keen Stamps Everday Character Face Parts

I saw the saying "Merry Christ-mouse" and an idea came to mind. I had to get it designed and put together. It was fun. I hope you like it (even if Christmas is over 4 1/2 months away :)). It never hurts to get a head start on Christmas cards right? I might actually get some sent out this year if I start making them now.
I saw the saying Merry Christ-mouse in a line of stamps by Sarah Pink Cricut. The mouse is from Animal Kingdom, the santa hat is from Paperdoll Dress-Up, the scarf is from Everyday Paper Dolls, and the candy cane is from Christmas Cheer. The face is stamped on with Peachy Keen Stamps - they have the BEST stamps EVER. They just make everything so much cuter! I cut the Santa hat 3 times and cut the pieces apart so I could fun flock and layer the pieces, I also used fun flock for the scarf. This card was lots of fun to make.
The subject for this challenge was summer destinations. Our FAVORITE summer destination is DISNEYLAND. We had a fabulous time at Disneyland last month. This project will be the introductory page for our Disneyland vacation scrapbook.
I love how this turned out. I tried to give us all our actual look and I think it worked out well. Here is a close up of the paperdolls with their cute Peachy Keen Stamps faces.
Well I didn't make the My Pink Stamper design team, but I wasn't really counting on it either. My style is quite simple. I don't have a lot of time for crafting but I love to do it and so I thought I would give the design team a try. I was really excited that Emma (My Creative Time) is on the team. I really love her work. I don't know any of the others, but I can't wait to see what they have to share. Well here are my entries.
It's time for another Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge. I had a lot of fun with this one. Here is my take on challenge 24.
This is the sketch they gave us to work with, isn't it great?
The main stipulation for this challenge was that you need to use a Peachy Keen Stamp somewhere on your project.
Card recipe: The baby is from Everyday Paper Dolls. For the baby's face I used Peachy Keen stamps (the pacifier is from the Peachy Keen stamps set PK-573 Basic Paper Doll Faces and the eyes and nose are from the new Everyday Character Face Parts PK-493). I cut a headband from Everday Paper Dolls and added a Prima Flower and a rhinestone. The scallop circle is from Mini Monograms and the scallop edge is from Plantin Schoolbook. And all of the patterned paper is Provo Craft paper I have had in my stash for quite a while.
For this challenge we were supposed to use our Peachy Keen face stamps. The face for this set comes from PK -573 Basic Paper Doll Face for 3-4 inch dolls. It is very versatile and extremely reasonably priced at $8.95. I LOVE this set. Below is my pixie birthday card.
My little girl insisted in joining the contest too. The card below is her Pixie doll.
