Dreams Really Do Come True

I did this card up for the Peachy Keen Challenge and the My Pink Stamper Challenge.

My pink stampers challenge was to add a bird. I added a little pink bird to go with my scene from the Winter Woodland cartridge.

I used my Peachy Keen face stamps and the layout from there challenge to complete my project.

This was their challenge sketch:


I flipped the square (my princess) and the orange stripe (my tree) to opposite sides of the sketch. The brown strip is my ribbon and the squares are my castle scene in the background. I used the faces I had on the princess and the sun. I'm probably over doing these scene cards but I'm having a really good time with them and they are forcing me to get really creative!

Puppy Party

I had a bit of time tonight and wanted to create a cute card for my sisters birthday that is coming up soon.

I used the sketch from Mojo Mondays challenge. I really wanted to challenge myself and as per usual I sat there staring at paper and then came up with this idea to use the ribbon as the tall vertical layer in the sketch. I think it turned out ok!

I was able to incorporate the challenge from Practical Scrappers, a new to me challenge which was exciting for me. The ribbon was hard to work with ... I used curling ribbon and getting it to loop and stick was not fun ... but in the end it looks like a puppy all rolled in ribbon and that was the goal. :)

I was also able to incorporate the `Cute and Cuddly` theme from the Pollycraft Monday Challenge blog, also new to me!

So two new excellent blogs to keep an eye on for me and a great sketch to work from so ìt was a successful evening overall.



Sorry the image is a little dark ... I`m not quite sure why! :)

Just moved card

Ok SOOOO this week I was going to actually make the Jitterbug challenge on time, lol! So I made my card tonight so that there was no way I could miss the deadline.

So for this challenge you had to use stripes (my ribbon) and add an animal or two (monkey, bird, bug in my case). I started out and decided to use a tree as my main shape and I was just thinking I will put a bird in the tree as my animal. BUT that got me thinking even more and that got me making a "Just Moved" card and all these little animals were moving into the tree!

I have no one to give this too, lol but I think it turned out cute! I'm just excited that I've had this evening and I have tomorrow during the day to just craft away. YAY!



Oh and as a side note these animals are like 1 inch big and that was a big big mistake on my part! lol

Baby flowers for the shower

My friend Kelly and I made these last night. She did up the little critters (We were trying to match the enchanted forest bedding that the mom-to-be has chosen) and I did up the flowers and we assembled like mad to get these done up for the baby show on the weekend. I'm not going to lie I think we both wished we could keep them ... lol. I have no use for one but I think they turned out really cute and should be great shower decorations!

Set of 10 cards ... Create A Critter

I finally got a few hours to play with Create a Critter today. I Was at Michael's and found this pack of 10 cards for $1.50. I thought they were so pretty so I went down and picked out 3 shades of matching teal card stock and a nice beige to add some pop and a few accessories (ribbon etc). I got home and just sort of dove in. I decided I wanted to make a set of cute fairly generic cards to have on hand for when I don't have time to make something.

I had my new fancy Punny stamps by My Pink Stamper and a set I picked up at Michael's and those are what I used on all 10 cards.

I decided that I wanted to create all different looks but use all the same material (I bet you could tell that from the picture! :) ) and just one cartridge. So with my card stock, teal ribbon, buttons, grommets, and a bottle of stickles I got to work.

I'm really happy with them and I'm even happier that I have something to put in my drawer to pull out last minute when I don't have time to craft!

Baby Gift

A friend of mine is having a baby soon and so as her baby shower gift I made this frame to match her nursery. She has an enchanted forest theme and so I used create a critter (FINALLY!) to make the frame and colours from her crib bedding etc.

Now I'm off to try and make 10 cards ... using one colour theme, Create a Critter and make them for all different occasions! Woah! lol
