Flaunt it Friday Challenge #3

Happy Friday!

Can you believe that Christmas is only a week away!?! I am sooo not ready. I still have so much to do. Hopefully, this weekend I will be able to get caught up on some things. 

Anyway.. on to today's Flaunt it Friday Challenge.  This weeks challenge is to use the cup and lemon from page 48 on the Simply Charmed Cricut cart. Please use both of the images. If you do not have this cart, no worries,  you can still enter the challenge, just make sure you use a similar cut.

This is my card...

The lemons were cut at 1" out of the same paper as the background. I inked around each one and glued them down, trying to give the effect of the paper being embossed. The cup was cut at 3". 

The twine is from the Twinery. The sentiment is from this Pink by Design stamp set. I used this punch to make the tag.

The PKS face stamp is from the Cheery-O face assortment.

I just love how it turned out! :)

I hope you will join us for this weeks challenge! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. You can click here to get to the Flaunt it Friday challenge blog!

Also... don't forget that tonight is the

Jingle- Jangle Blog Party!

The fun starts at 6pm eastern standard time! There will be lots or ideas for ornaments and blog candy at each stop along the way! I hope you will join us!

Have a wonderful day!

*Giveaway Closed* 1st "Flaunt it Friday" Challenge and Blog Hop!

Happy Friday!

I am so excited because not only is today the 1st day of the "Flaunt it Friday" challenge but we are also having a blog hop to celebrate!

 If you have arrived here from Jess's blog then you are in the right place!  If not, CLICK HERE to start at the beginning. Remember to leave a comment on every stop along the way, and leave a 2nd comment on the Flaunt It Fridays blog saying you've visited everyone and left a comment at each stop, for a 2nd chance to win the Grand Prize sponsored by Peachy Keen Stamps!

The 1st challenge is to create a project around the snowman cut on page 29 of the Winter Frolic Cricut cart! No worries though if you don't have the cart... you can use any other snowman cut that you have.

For the 1st challenge, I created a card.

The papers are from the DCWV "Tis' the Season" paper stacks. You can't really see it, but I also used an Action Wobble on the snowman.

 The twine is from The Twinery and the sentiment stamp is from the Our 2 Angles in Heaven Stamp set from Peachy Keen Stamps.

The edge punch is the Fiskars Apron Lace punch.

The sweet little face stamp is from the Happy Lashes PKS stamp set. 

On to the blog hop part of this post....

For the blog hop I created this holiday banner. We were asked to use another cut from the Winter Frolic cart. I choose to use the Carolers from page 45. 
Banners can be so hard to photograph!

The papers are from DCWV and My Minds Eye.

The flag pieces of the banner were cut from the Birthday Bash cart, at 5". The carolers were cut at 2 1/2". I ended up separating them so that they would fit better on the flags.

  Their faces are from the Basic Paper Doll Faces from PKS.

 I found the oval and cut them at 2 3/4" and the letters were cut from the Country Living cart at 2 1/4".

I covered the letters with Martha Stewart's micro beads, color Brownstone and strung it with a  6" cream tulle.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog today! Below is a list of all the blogs in the hop. Make sure you visit each blog and leave comment so that you have a chance to win the PKS blog candy.

I was honored, when they asked me to be a part of the winter design team. Our first challenge is this Friday and to celebrate we are having a blog hop! It's going to be lots of fun and there will be some blog candy thrown in too!

In-fact they are having a give away right now!

Now on to today's card!

The little girl and her cat were cut from the new Playtime cart. She was cut at 4 1/4". The frame/label was cut from the Lacy Labels cart at 5".

The papers are DCWV and My Minds Eye. The sentiment stamp is from this stamp set.

I gave the cat a bling collar. I figured she deserved it... I also drew in her little cat face. the cart cuts out eye and a nose but they were super small.

I used the new Peachy Keen stamp set called Happy Lashes for her face. I think this is my favorite set right now. :)

Don't forget that the 1st challenge and grand opening blog hop, for the Flaunt it Fridays Challnge blog, will be this Friday!

I hope you have a wonderful day! See you tomorrow!
