XOXO I Love You More!

Hello sweet bloggy friends. I was finally able to get my Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge completed. I had lots of different ideas but I wanted to do something 'different.'  The cute little 'I love you more...' sentiment is from Emma's stamp set called You Had Me at Chocolate. This is a shape card that I made with my Gypsy. I hope you like my little cell phone valentine!

Items Used:

*Paisley Cricut Cartridge
*Gypsy
*My Creative Time Stamps- You Had Me at Chocolate
*Peachy Keen Stamps- Critter Faces
*Pink By Design stamps for the X's & O's
*Bic Ultrathin Black Marker
*Sakura White Gellyroll Pen

Birthday Hugs and Wishes

I made this card for my daughter's birthday. She LOVES elephants, pink and Action Wobbles. I knew that I better take some pictures of it before I gave it to her because I didn't know how long it would last after she played with it ;). I've entered it into the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge and the Cooking with the Cricut Challenge.

The Action Wobble is attached to the ball and so the elephant is really trying to keep its balance. He he! Here is a quick video of it wobbling.

Items Used:

B is for Boy Cricut Lite Cartridge

Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces

Pink by Design stamps for the sentiment

Bakers Twine

Sakura White Gelly Roll

Black Bic Ultrathin Marker

New Baker's Twine Colors from The Twinery!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share an awesome deal. The Twinery is having a sale in celebration of their awesome new colors of baker's twine. I LOVE my baker's twine. I have used a few different brands and this is MY all time favorite brand. The baker's twine from The Twinery is a little thicker and vibrant in my opinion. Anyway, they have added 3 more colors and they are beautiful. I hope they keep adding more colors!!! They are doing an awesome giveaway and they have a 25% off your purchase promo code on their blog. Go to this LINK for more information. They are a great deal by the spool, but if you would like to get a wider varitey of colors in a smaller quanity to start out with, they have some amazing sampler sets to get you started.

Here is a picture of the new colors:

And here are a couple of my old projects using baker's twine to show you how fun it can be. If you are interested in the details for any of these projects click on the picture and it will take you to the original post.

Thanks Jennifer for reminding me of my very first card using Baker's Twine. This is the card that started my Baker's Twine obsession. Here it is:

Spring is in the Air!

Yes, I am ready for spring. We have had VERY cold weather here, but today it actually felt rather warm. So it felt like Spring was in the air and it most definitely is in my heart. I'm READY for spring! Here is my spring inspired card using My Creative Time Color Me Happy stamps.

I attached the kite to an Action Wobble so it could sail through the air. Here is a quick video of showing that.

Items Used:

*Create A Critter
*Gypsy
*My Creative Time - Color Me Happy stamps
*Peachy Keen Stamps- Simple Sallies
*Black Ultrathin Bic Marker

Happy Birthday Peachy Princess!

While on Facebook Thursday afternoon I noticed that the Peachy Princess (Angelica) was about to have a birthday. She is such a sweetheart and she did a phenomenal job of making her Mom's birthday SO special last month. I wanted to make sure that I made her a card to let her know how much I appreciate her. She has become a great encouragement to me. I really appreciate the friendship I have made with her recently, even if it has only been 'through the computer'. Thanks so much Angelica and HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Here is your card, I'm sorry it won't make it to you in time, it only started it's way to you yesterday.

For the sentiment I mixed and matched sentiment stamps. I think they look really cute together. I used 'to my' from Emma's (My Creative Time's) Mom You Rock stamp set and the 'Amiga' is from Angelica's BFF set (It normally says amigas, I just wiped the S off after I had inked it up).

Isn't that little FLAN the cutest?! Angelica is the artist of this stamp. It is from her Market Street Stamps set called BFFs. This cutie patootie flan really won me over. I just had to have this set of stamps. I ate a LOT of flan when I lived in France. I know, who would have thought, right? It IS so yummy and this stamp brings back a lot of memories. I paper pieced the stamp, inked it with some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and colored in the mouth and cheeks with some Copic markers.

I kept the card fairly simple. Here is a picture of the inside.

I couldn't resist putting that cute little flan on an Action Wobble, so voila, a super short video of the wobble flan.



Items Used:

*Market Street Stamps - BFFs
*My Creative Time Stamps - Mom You Rock
*Tim Holtz Distress Inks
*Baker's Twine
*Corner Rounder
*Copics (for mouth and cheeks)

Throwback Thursday Paper Doll & Embossing Challenge

Here is my first official Design Team Project for Emma's Team (My Creative Time). I'm SO excited! This is the start of another Throwback Thursday Challenge. The challenge this time is to use some form of embossing and one of the Paper Doll Cricut cartridges. I thought this was such a fun challenge. The paper doll cartridges have SO many amazing images to choose from. I hope you will join in the fun.

This is my Valentine's Day card for my sweet Mom. The sentiments both come from Emma's new line of stamps, this set is called Mom You Rock. Here is a picture of all the amazing sentiments on this set:
