How Time Flys.

Well the month of may flew past like the blink of an eye. So many things went on last month which left little time to craft.

One of those many things going on in the month of May was my 35th birthday... I can't believe I'm 35! Time goes by so fast these days.

Well I decided to treat myself to the Silhouette Cameo Designer Edition.... heeeeheee. Yay for new toys! Now I just have to find it a home upstairs in my craft area :p

Even tho lots was going on I did however make two cards for a little girl who broke her arm.

The first card I used my  brand new Silhouette Cameo along with the "That Hurt" file from Miss Kate Cuttables. There are so many cute files to choose from on the Miss Kate Cuttables site... I love them all! I used some SU dimensionals to pop up the title.

Then using a $1.50 stamp I got at Michaels I made my background paper, matted it in black and then placed that onto a red card base.

 

For the inside sentiment I used the same stamp as the background paper only stamped in American Crafts red Ink instead.

 

Super happy with the way it turned out...I LOVE my Cameo!

For the second card I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash and cut out only the part I wanted. Gave it a mat, added some ribbon and stamped my sentiment in Memento Black ink.

The sentiment is from the Pink By Design set called Joyful Tags.

For the inside I first stamped the horse from the Best in the West stamp set in some Memento Lilac ink and then stamped the sentiment from the Cowgirl Up stamp set on top of the horse.

Both stamp sets are from Pink By Design.

Well I'm sure I will spend a lot more time in my craft area over the next few months playing with my new toy, trying to figure out how to use all the features on it. So many things to do and so little time.

Hope everyone is having a great start to the summer.

Be Mine!

The challenge this week over at Peachy Keen is a Sketch. So with Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought I would start my card making now.

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-2 Sketch

Here's the sketch for this challenge:

I stamped, colored with Copics and cut out Lily and Billy then added them to the front of the card with some popdots.

I used the Peachy Keen Cornie Face Assortment for the faces on the Valentines... Aren't they so cute?

Using the Love Hearts folder I embossed a piece of red cardstock and attached it to the base then layered Lily and Billy on top. 

The sentiment is from Pink By Design Joyful Tags cut out with the Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio and attached it with some American Crafts Ribbon.

So remember to head on over to the Peachy Keen Blog and check out all the amazing projects.

The talented Raven Baca is the host to this challenge and her challenge to us is to make anything that we like but it must include snow and/or snowflakes and the Peachy Keen stamp of your choice to win the amazing prize.

I used Snow White cardstock for the base and Recollections Bright and Jolly paper pad for the patterned paper. I stamped PK- M17 Snow Much Love in Broken China and colored in the hearts and part of the hat with a Copic.

The sentiment comes form Pink By Design's Snowflakes stamp set, stamped in Tim Holtz Broken China. I added some American Crafts Ribbon and some tiny teal rhinestones for the buttons as well as some larger ones.

Having a Ball!!!

Hi everyone. Well I have finally gotten around to making a post. I was away camping enjoying what little summer we have had.

I love the outdoors and like to spend as much time as possible out there when I can.

The card that I made this time is one of my favorite places to be in the summer...the Beach. I used the Cricut Paper Dolls Teen Scene cartridge.

I cut the dolls, bathing suits and hair all at 5". Since I can not draw at all I used the Peachy Keen Dolly Dumplins Face Asst. stamp set for her and the Peachy Keen Groom Faces for him.

I cut some waves from Life's a Beach Cricut cartridge and took some Sookwang tape and some decorative sand that I had lying around to make the beach. The beach ball is from the Pink by Design Just Beachy stamp set, stamped, colored with Copics and cut out.

The  sentiment is from the Simply Everything stamp set by Pink by Design.

I added some American Crafts ribbon, a Recollections flip flop brad and some real baby shells that I got at a second hand store to finish the card.

For the inside of the card I used one of the left over waves, stamped the sun from Stampendous Summer Scene stamp set with Memento Dandelion Ink and then cut it out.

The inside sentiment is from the Pink by Design Summer Vacation stamp set.

Well I hope you all get to have a ball and spend many fun days at the beach.

I'm entering this card into the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #28 - Anything Goes.

You should head on over there and check out what everyone has been up to.
