PKS Challenge #11

Peachy Keen Stamps is hosting another weekly challenge. This time it is to make a 3D Object - Candy Container. Well what better then a cute little Easter basket. I mean seriously who wouldn't love this candy container.

I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and more 2 to make the cute little basket at 7 1/4". I did the box section 1 and box section 2 so I could make it a little bigger. (I will warn if you do FIT TO PAGE it will let you cut section 1 at 8 1/2"  but then only cuts the 2nd section at 7 1/4"). So you've been warned... 

I cute PKS PK 440 Cute and Cuddly faces
The bunny is cut at 3" from Doodlecharms cartridge.
The scalloped circle is from Paper Trimmings and cut at 4".

I put 2 bunnies w/ bows and 2 w/o on the basket.

I  colored these cute little bunny faces with my copics and added some glossy accents. I actually drew on the pink inside ears.

I put some "shredded paper" in as a basket filler, added a few stuffed eggs (yes they have candy in them - mini tootsie rolls in them and mmm some smarties in Easter / Spring colors). 
Once I made the basket I had to hide it.... Why???? Because a certain little 3 year old wants some.

Well I hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'

Weekly Challenge #45: Run for the Border Challenge!

So when I saw this challenge I knew instantly what I wanted to make. This challenge was to use a border and make a project.

The rules and guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include atleast 2 Cricut Image Cuts. You must submit a project to be entered into the Challenge Prize Drawing. One entry per person, please.

I kept it very simple but love the results.

I made these cute little table name plates. I used the Turkey border from Doodle Charms - cut at 1.5". I love the cute little turkeys. Just sitting on the plate waiting to be ate. MMMM Don't know about all the rest of you but we actually FRY a turkey and it's ohhhhh so good.

Paper - kraft for the base, and then the seaonal package from Cloud 9 Designs (bought at Joann's for really cheap). It has a mix of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Christmas. It's not card stock just plain paper but I think it did very well for this type of project.

The little name box is from Art Philosohphy I just changed the size on my Gypsy -- due to I have one person in the family who has 9 letters so I had to make sure her name fit.

The letters are cut at 1" from Country Life - my all time goto cartridge for font.

I then used my chalks to give a little extra to the Turkey - he wasn't quit brown enough for me.

Hope you enjoy and Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Throwback Thursday - Doodlecharm

I love the Throwback Thursday that Emma from http://www.creativetimeforme.com host most every Thursday. Lately I haven't been able to play in my scrapbook room due to other obligations (family, work, home, you know life).

Well today I was actually able to go and play while my daughter was napping.

I love the cartridge Emma chose for this throwback. It is Doodlecharms and if you are playing along and don't have that cartridge you can use any older cartridge and she asked that we use the color "Blue".

Well the minute I saw the requirements for the challenge I instantlly thought about a friend of mine who just had a baby GIRL. She has two sweet little guys (that are 100% boys), but now there world is about to change with ribbons, bows, pink and girly stuff.

I made this cute little baby from the Doodlecharms cartridge - sized at 2 1/2. I put her on an Action Wobble to make her head bob.

I used:

PK Happy Lashes for the face (isn't she just a cutie). Thanks to my local Scrapbook Store now caring PK - I can get them when I need a quick fix.

The "Sweet Little Princess" stamp is from Emma's All Star Baby.

EK Chalk for the cheeks

Copic R32 for the tounge

White gel pen

Rhinestones

A cute little "flowery" blue button

Pink Twine

The paper is:

Bright Pink Shimmer from TPC Studio (love love love this paper) It shimmers and is 2 sided a dark/light color combination.

SEI Happy Days (for the bow)

Beige card stock.

Emma's BACK..

Yes that is correct Emma from http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is BACK. This weeks Throwback Thursday is Valentine or Heart. She let us use what ever cartridge as long as there was a heart somewhere. Well I had an idea of a "Tic Tac Heart" board. I think it turned our really cute.

The card is at 5" The scallop cut is from Cindy Loo.

The card base is cut from Craft Cardstock

The red is Bazzil

I had some really pretty "Paisley" patterned paper that I have no clue what it is from. It has some red, pinks, blue in it. I just love it though.
Then I used SEI for the pink hearts.

The pink hearts are from Doodlecharms.

The "X" is from Gypsy Font.

I used some Pink stickles to accent them.

The pink Heart in the middle is pop dotted.

Stiching with my white gel pen.

*** Here's a tip - store your pen writing end down and flick it a couple of times and it will really get the ink to flow smoothly. ***

Don't forget Emm'a Ustream on Friday Night.

"Birthday" throwback challenge

Ok, Emma's up to it again with her wonderful throwback challenges. This theme is "Birthday" and to use the cartridge "Celebrations". Well I don't have that cartridge so I did use a few cartridges. I used Teardrop, Doodlecharms, and Create - a Critter.

When she posted this challenge I knew I wanted to do my daughter's 1st Birthday.

The presents will be the mats for the photos. For her 1st Birthday - we did a very large cupcake as the main cake, and a smaller cupcake for her own personal. She had a really cute outfit from Carter's with a big purple, white and confetti colored cup cake. That gave me the idea for the accents on this page.

The candles have red stickles to highlight the flames.

I used SEI Paper line - Happy Day

The Purple is from Archivers.

The ribbon was just a pretty little accent from my stash.

The stitching is done with a white gel pen, and a black Zip marker.

Hope you enjoy it, and Happy Scrappin...

Doodlecharms - Throwback Challenge

It's that time again for another great throwback challenge sponsored by Emma from http://www.creativetimeforme.com/. This time it was to use the cartridge - duddlecharms. I love this cartridge and was happy when she announced the challenge. I knew I wanted to do the layout of my daughter eating her first Rainbow Cone. Those not from Chicago -- you are missing out. This is one of the many wonderful Chicago foods. The ice cream is huge - but it is so yummy. The name of the place is called Rainbow Cone, they serve a "rainbow" cone ice cream. It is made up of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House (Vanilla, cherries, and walnuts), Pistachio, and Orange Sherbet. It is the best. I love it.

My layout - does not have photos because they are mainly of my daughter and for her safety/privacy I elected not to put those in there yet. I did go back and added the photos.

Enjoy and happy Scrappin..
