"Thank You" Blog Hop

Happy Friday!

Welcome to the "Thank You" Blog Hop!

If you have arrived here from the amazing Raven's blog then you are on the right track.  

This blog hop is to thank our blog designer, Madeline at Shabby Vanity, for being super fabulous! Each of us has created a simple "Thank You" gift, to thank Madeline.

I made Madeline a Banner.
 
The banner tags were cut from the Sugar and Spice Lite cart. They were cut at 5".
 The rosette's measure 3". I used the Fiskars Apron Edge punch on the edge to mimic the bottom of the tag.
The letters were cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1 3/4".


The cherry's were cut from the Paisley cart at 2". I used 6" black tulle to string the banner together.

 I love how it turned out!


So no blog hop would be complete with out some sort of blog candy!

 I am giving away a set of Peachy Keen, PK-451 Wide Eyed Kids 1 1/8" stamps.

All you have to do to be entered to win is:
1. Become a follower, if not already.
2. Leave me a comment on this post.

That's it! I will choose a winner via Random.org on Monday night and announce the winner Tuesday morning. Good Luck!
Below is the list of all the blogs in the hop.



Your next stop is the fabulous "Queen's" blog!

Thanks for for hopping along with us today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Thursday!

Today is the 3nd Thursday of Joy's Life.com's, Design Team Thursday!

I used the Wild Card cart for the card shape and inlay circles. The card was cut at 8" x 4.18" and the striped inlay circle was cut at 3 1/4", both were designed on/cut using my Gypsy. The worm and flowers were cut from the April Showers Cricut cart.   The worm was cut at 2 1/2" and the flowers at 1", 3/4", and 1/2". The papers are PTI, DCWV, and Bo Bunny.
The twine is from The Twinery and the worms face is from Peachy Keen Stamp's new stamps set PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment.

Love U

Happy Wednesday!

I have another quick card for you today. I have been having fun, using my Gypsy, welding shapes together to make cards. This card was made with a tag from Create a Critter.
The "Love U" was cut from A Child's Year cart. 
The papers are from Me and My Big Ideas, PTI, and K and Co. I stitched around everything with my white gel pen.
 I really like how it turned out. 

Tomorrow is Joyslife.com's design team Thursday. I made the cutest card... I can't wait to share it!

Also... This Friday I am in the "Thank You" blog hop. Raven at Love 4 Stamps, is hosting a blog hop to thank our blog designer, Madeline.   All of the blogs in this hop have been designed by Madeline. We will each be sharing a fun "Thank You" gift and there will be blog candy at each stop!

Skunk Love?

Happy Tuesday!

I have a super quick post for today. I was playing around with one of the card cuts on the new "Life's a Party" cart and I decided that I liked it enough to use, so I cut a additional image and added some ribbon and tada! I love the way that black and white look against red, so that is why I choose to cut a skunk. :)
Papers are from PTI, K and Co, and DCWV.  
The heart shaped card was cut from the Life's a Party cart at 5.37 x 4.18 (used my Gypsy). The skunk was cut from the Live Simply cart at 2 3/4". The inside hearts were cut at 4 3/4" and 4 1/4".
The checkered ribbon measures 1/2", I found it in my stash of ribbon and I added some doodling with my white gel pen.

Thanks so much stopping by... I hope you have a wonderful day!
See you tomorrow!

Simple Kraft Card

Happy Monday!

 I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I was able to spend some fun crafty time with my bestie and my Cricut. I got a few projects finished, that I have been working on and I got to play with a few new carts too.
 
 This card was made with Lacy Labels and Nate's ABCs cart.  I have a thing for elephants right now, so of course I had to try the elephant cut for my 1st cut. :)
 The papers are PTI and DCWV. The Congratulations stamp is from Joyslife.com's, Mother and Daughter Stamps.
 It's really simple but I think it's pretty cute!

Happy Friday!

I am so excited because today is the 2nd "Let's Face it Friday" challenge of the new year! 

 Challenge #8
Valentine's Day is right around the corner and one of the most celebrated "Hallmark" holidays during the year! Let's "one up" Hallmark though ('cause they got nothin' on a handmade card or gift), and create a Peachified valentine using X's & O's somewhere on our projects! X's and O's don't have to be the main focus on your project, but should be the evident theme of your project.

Your project:

-must be new
-must include a Peachy Keen Face
-Link to Mr. Linky before January 20th

Here is my card!
The papers are Coordinations and K and Co's Valentine stack from Michael's.

The hearts were cut from the Simply Charmed cart at 2 1/4". The tag was cut from Once Upon a Princess at 6.25 x 3.25, cut using my Gypsy. The X's and O's are from the Smiley Cart and they measure 2.69 x .97, also cut using my Gypsy.

I inked around the x's and o's with a pink ink and then glued them to the tag to create an embossed effect. The twine is from The Twinery. 

Their sweet little faces are from Peachy Keen Stamps new stamp set PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids face assortment.

 *Giveaway*

The PKS Design Team will be voting on entries, and choosing a TOP 5.
