You Are My Sunshine

Peachy Keen's challenge this week is a sketch challenge. You can see the sketch here. My project today was inspired by a prize I won at Peachy Keen's recent release party. Aren't these froggies the cutest?! The set is called Happy Lil' Froggies and they sure make me happy! The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Turn That Frown Upside Down set and it's stamped on Emma's oval stitched die. The sun was cut from Create-a-Critter. I'm also entering this into the Simply Crafts Challenge. This month's challenge was to use that adorable sun from CAC. This is my first time entering  Glora and Pam's Simply Crafts Challenge. I always want to and am so glad I finally did. They are both so inspirational.  For the dew drops, I colored a piece of white cardstock with the same color I colored the frogs in and punched them out with a hole punch and glued them to the colorless dew drops. I love those clear dew drops. It makes it so easy to match any color I want. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge

 

Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday challenge this month is to create a project using a cartoon character. I'm using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and she's all dressed up in her adorable rain gear.  That background paper is from a 6x6 My Mind's Eye pad called Quite Contrary. It is such a whimsical stack. That perfect sentiment is from Emma's set called Turn That Frown Upside Down. I added some twine and glossy accents to complete this card. I just love Hello Kitty. 

 

 

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Emma's challenge over at My Creative Time this month is to use a sports cartridge or make a sports theme cartridge if you don't own a sports cart. I do not own a sports cartridge and was quite stumped with this challenge. I don't think I've ever made a sports card before. Well, I'm in love with my new Rock Princess cartridge, so I decided to do a little creative "editing" of one of the cuts and create this baseball chick. She originally had a guitar across her body that could not be "hidden" in the Gypsy because it was attached to half her body (argh!), so I had to do some snipping. It was challenging, but hey, this is a challenge. LOL. Anyway, her mitt and cap are from Everyday Paper Dolls and the baseballs are from a $1 sticker set from Walmart. I also got a Crop-a-Dial for Christmas, so I decided to add color with eyelets, as the card needed something else.

Her adorable face is from Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids face assortment. That adorable sentiment is from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down. I added some glossy accents and twine. I didn't want to make her too "girly".

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge this week over at My Creative Time is to use a kid friendly cartridge and make a kid friendly themed project. I just had to use this little cutie from Playtime. I just love this cartridge. I searched high and low for it a while back and was finally able to get it from Ebay. I was SO excited because I love almost every cut it has!

The sentiment is from Emma's set called Turn that Frown Upsdie Down. That set is so versatile. I would say it's my favorite set, but I'd be lying because I love all of Emma's stamps. I can't wait for her next release this week! Her sad little face is from Peachy Keen's Cutie Pie face assortment. Don't you just want to hug her?!

I'm so happy to be entering this challenge. I missed her Design Team Call two weeks ago. I was so swamped that week. I was planning a surprise trip to Florida for my mom's birthday (which went great!), it was my husband's birthday, I had company coming, and I got out of work late every night. I was so, so disappointed because to design for Emma would be so exiciting and mean a lot to me. I do feel that it just wasn't meant to be. I hope I can try out next time. In the meantime, I still get to enjoy her inspirational blog and awesome stamps! Ok, sorry for the tangent. LOL

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Emma's challenge this week over at My Creative Time was to use Wild Card or Just Because cartridges and incorporate heat or dry embossing somewhere on the project. I chose to use Wild Card. I am so mad because a few months back I made a card with an oval window just like this, but from "scratch" and it took me forever! I didn't realize this cut was on this cartridge. Ugh! Anyway, the embossing technique I used is pretty cool. I used my reinkers in two different colors and rolled them on the embossing folder with a brayer. Then I ran a white piece of cardstock through my Cuttlebug in the embossing folder and came up with this beautiful pattern. I saw this technique while browsing You Tube one day. I am in love with this technique...and this embossing folder. The flower cut on the bottom corner is also from the Wild Card cartridge. That cut took FOREVER! The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Turn That Frown Upside Down set.
Enjoy!
Here's a closeup of that intricate cut that I had to cut twice because I forgot to use multicut the first time and it's thicker glitter cardstock. Oh well, such is life. :D

Thanks for looking!

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Emma's challenge this week was to use any Cricut Lite cartridge and incorporate bling. Easy enough! For my card, I used the Playtime Cartridge for the little girl. Her face is stamped with Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes face stamp set. I used Doodlecharms for her teddy bear and his face was stamped with Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed set. I flocked his little belly with pink to give him some fuzzy dimension. The sentiment I used is from Turn That Frown Upside Down from My Creative Time and the shape it's stamped on is from Lacey Labels, an awesome cartridge. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Just the Girls stack. I found that on a lark at Home Goods. It was only $12.99 and I believe every sheet is glittered. I love that stack! So, the glitter paper, the flocking, the rhinestone gem in the center of my little girl's hair flower and her pearl dress border are the bling for this project. I had fun with this challenge!

MPS NSD Challenge #10

I had to skip a few challenges. LOL. This next challenge was to make a project with a pet in it. Kate's ABCs has the most adorable little girls with her kitties. I first thought they were dogs, but when I compare it to Nate's ABCs, I think they're kitties. Adorable nonetheless! The stamp is My Creative Time's Color Me Happy. Everytime I look at my little doggie, she makes me smile. So, this sentiment was perfect. The patterned paper is DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl. That stack is so girly and loaded with pinks and greens. I love it! Thanks for looking.
