PKS 36 - Rainy Day

Time for another Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. This is a sketch and color challenge (melon, daffodil & cobalt). I tried to think of things that might naturally be these colors and this is what I came up with. You can always click on the picture if there are certain details you would like to see better.

Well this is my cute little ducky girl in her rain boots and splashing in a rain puddle. The scallops are the storm clouds. I chalked them with a gray edge (it doesn't show up very well in the picture). The blue banner brings a little sunshine. Thanks for looking. I had a lot of fun with this and I really like how it turned out. Below is the sketch for this challenge. You should come and join in the fun.

Cherry Birthday Wishes

This is the card that I gave to my sister-in-law for her birthday. My daughter helped with the planning. She wanted cherries on it and she wanted to choose some cute Peachy Keen face stamps to put on them. She is a good little helper.

I used Hello Kitty for the cherries, George for the circle, and the Easter 2010 cartridge for the card base. I stamped two of the Critter face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps on the cherries and added some white gel pen.

Well, I had a SUPER INCREDIBLY don't count on it to happen again kind of LUCKY weekend. In fact I still can't believe HOW lucky it turned out to be. I normally am not one to win things very often, but I'm excited that my luck seems to have changed a bit lately. Besides winning the 2 prizes I mentioned the other day, I also found out yesterday that I won the Happy Hauntings giveaway at My Pink Stamper. It was for the Happy Haunting cartridge AND her new Spooky Puns stamp set. WOO HOO! This is going to be fun! My daughter is already planning on putting together the 3-D haunted mansion with me.

Princess Card and Other Fun Stuff

My little great-niece had a birthday this past week. Last time she was up to visit she told me Cinderella was her favorite princess. She LOVES to play dress up so I decided I would make the card as her dressed up in a Cinderella-ish dress.

I used my Once Upon a Princess cartridge for the Princess, dress, wand and crown. I just mixed and matched the items from different outfits using my hide contour feature on the Gypsy. I LOVE that feature. I don't have the Princess face stamps from Peachy Keen, but I noticed that their Critter Faces, which I do have, had a cute face that would work nicely. I like how it came out. The doll was cut at 4" and the Critter Faces are the medium sized ones. This awesome glitter paper is Coredination Couture Cardstock. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that stuff. And the stamp is by Hero Arts.

Yesterday was a LUCKY day for me. I won two different items from some amazing papercrafers. First of all I won the My Pink Stamper Family and Friends Stamps from Pam at Simply Pam's she was celebrating that she had over 250 fans with this awesome giveaway! Congratulations again Pam.

Aren't those CUTE? I can see myself using them a lot.

 And then shortly after that I found out that I won the Halloween Stickle set from Kimberly at My Craft Spot. She is celebrating her new online store and did this giveaway to celebrate. Congratulations on your store Kimberly. These should come in handy for some fun Halloween projects.

Thanks so much to both of you!!!

Blog Awards

I feel like such a newbie to all of this. I got some blog awards from Stephanie at Always Crafting a couple of months ago and wasn't sure exactly what to do with them. Then today I got the Cherry on Top Award from Savahanna at Tiny Creativity and Raven at Love 4 Stamps. I'm not sure exactly how this works but I will do my best. I want to thanks Stepanie, Savahanna & Raven for enjoying my blog enough to share these with me. You girls are AMAZING and thank you!!!

For the Cherry on Top award I am supposed to share three things I like about myself.
1) I am dependable
2) I am a good listener
3) I love my family and religion so much

I'm supposed to share a favorite picture:

This is my husband's first trip to Disneyland. They rolled out the red carpet and he got to ride with Goofy on Gadget's Go Coaster. I'm the one grinning in the seat right behind them.

I would like to share these awards with the following amazing women. I have followed all of their blogs for a while and I love the projects they come up with. Click on their link and see all the awesome things they have created.

My Blinkie

I have got the sweetest husband EVER! He stayed up late last night making a surprise for me. He made me an adorable blinkie. Now I know you can only have so many blinkies on a blog before it starts looking crazy and cluttered. So no pressure to add mine, but I just think it is so cute, I had to share. I'm not even sure how to add the code so you can add the blinkie if you want to. I will look into that. Thanks again to my sweetie!!!

Isn't she cute? Don't you just LOVE how she winks her eye? I do. Have a great day.

You're the Best!

Another Disney card :). I must have Disneyland on my mind... too bad I won't be back there for a few more months. I made this card for three different challenges. I thought that the elements of each challenge would combine nicely... so here it is. (I couldn't get the one bling Mickey to photograph well, so this is the best one I got).

Made by Momo's Tuesday challenge asked for white, black and one other color. Cricut Cardz wanted scallops. And Always Scrappin' Whimsical Wednesday Challenge wanted buttons brads and/or bling.

For this card I used the EK Success Mickey Mouse border punch, Mickey Font for the Mickey head and Mickey Font and George combined with my sweet Gypsy to make the Mickey scallop. I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder, some bling, and some string.
