Super Exciting News!!!!

Happy Saturday!

I have been keeping a secret for the last month or so and... finally I get to spill the beans!

WooHoo!

Emma at My Creative Time has asked me to be on her design team! I am so excited and honored that she asked me! I love her stamps.

I just had to make her a card to let her know just exactly, how I feel.

The frog is from Lettering Delights, Frogs and Kisses svg set. The base of the card was made with a frame from the Sweet Birthday svg set. I created a shadow around the frame and then welded two of them together.

The papers are from Papertrey Ink, Cosmo Cricket, and Core-dinations.

The sentiment is from Emma's super cute stamp set called, Turn that frown upside down.

I sure hope she likes frogs!

If you have time, click here to see my "A royal Wedding Blog Hop" post. I am giving away two sets of Peachy Keen Stamps. I will be choosing the winner, via random.org, on Monday night. The winner will be announced on Tuesday morning. Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping by today... I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I am so glad that today is Friday! This has been the longest week... I am so ready for the weekend!

Are you ready for the next "Let's Face it Friday" challenge!?!

The Challenge:

Create a project for using Peachy Keen Faces either in a banner or on a project that contains pennants. This can be a card with a small banner running across, or a scrapbook layout with pennants strewn with twine. Or, get crazy and make an ENTIRE life sized banner with your Peachy Keen Stamps!

-Design must be new
-Project must include Peachy Keen Faces
-Link up before May 12th

*Giveaway*

We will choose one random winner to receive:
A PKS/Cottage Cutz "Faceless Bug" Die Set!

I actually designed my banner around the dies above, but I didn't get my die in time. (Very sad face) So I ended up using a butterfly cut from the Simply Sweet cart.

I used Cosmo Cricket and core-dinations papers.

The tags are from the Twinkle Toes cart, they were cut at 5". The letters are from the Simply Sweet cart, they were cut at 2 1/4"

I strung the tags with 6" wide, white tulle.

The butterfly's face is from the Peachy Keen Stamps set, PK-460 Happy Lashes Face Assortment.

I hope Marlee and her Mama like it!

If you have time, I would love for you to hop with us at the a Royal Wedding Blog Hop, all the fun starts here!

Don't worry be happy...

Happy Thursday!

Have you seen the new Bento Box svg set from Lettering Delights? As soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to have it! I just LOVE it!

I made this card for my BFF's daughter. Doesn't it just "make you happy"? If someone made me lunch everyday in a Bento Box I know I would be happy!

I adjusted the svg a bit. I wanted to add my own faces so I removed the ones in the design. I also made the tray a bit smaller and the carrots a bit bigger.

The papers are from Papertrey Ink and Core-dinations.

The faces are from the PK-542 Cheery-O's Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps.

The twine is from Paper and Parcel and the sentiment stamps is from Emma's stamp set, Turn That Frown Upside Down .

Today is the last day of Lettering Delights, dollar days sale. The Bento Box svg set is only $2! If you haven't gotten it yet, make sure you do before midnight tonight.

Tomorrow is a new "Let's Face it Friday" Challenge on the Peachy Keen Challenge blog. I can't wait to show you my project! This week challenge is so much fun!

Also... tomorrow I am in The Royal Wedding blog hop! I hope you will stop by, you never know, you might just win my "peachy" give-away!

I hope you have a great day!

Best Flowers picked...

Happy Wednesday!

Can you believe that in a couple days, it will be May? I can't believe that Mother's Day is right around the corner! I have started working on a couple projects and some cards for friends.

So far... I think this one is my favorite.

The created the card base by welding two frames together, from the Formal Occasions cart. The flower cut is also from the same cart.

The papers are Papertrey Ink, DCWV's Blosson Stack, and Core-dinations.

The sentiment is from Emma's stamp set called, Mom you ROCK.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

The base of the card was made by welding two tags from the Gypsy Wanderings cart, together.

Welcome to the It's Earth Day, It's My B-Day Blog Hop!

I decided to make Gaby a banner that she could hang in her scrap area.

Her favorite color is green, so I found some papers that I thought she might like.

They are Bazzil and Cosmo Cricket.

The flag and frame are from the Twinkle Ties cart and the oval and font are from the Simple Sweet carts.

I strung it with little brown satin ribbon.

I love how it turned out, I hope Gaby does too!

Sailboat Card

Happy Thursday!

I have another super quick card for you today.

The card base was a tag from the Sentimentals cart, I welded two of them together and then cut the inset for the front. The Sailboat is from the B is for Boy cart.

The papers are from the DCWV Playtime stack (Love this new stack!) and Core-dinations.

I think it will be a perfect new baby boy card. :)

I am ending this week with two blog hops... I have no idea what I was thinking!

The first is the Home Decor Blog hop.

All the fun starts tomorrow on Faith's blog.

and... Gaby's Earth Day/ It's my Birthday Blog Hop!

Again, all the fun starts tomorrow at Gaby's blog!
