Happy Fall Banner Frame

Peachy Keen Thankful Hop, click Here

 

This week Fantabulous Cricut is hosting a challenge to use your Cricut and include "fall Leaves".  Be sure to check them out, there are some inspiring projects from the design team and challenge entries this week.  For my project, I used Birthday Bash for the banner pieces.  They are hung with mini clothes pins so I can switch them out for the seasons.  This way I can store the banner pieces in a box and not worry about the banner getting tangled up. The fall leaves and images were cut with the Cricut Imagine with the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.  The Imagine is a wonderful machine and, knock on wood, has been a pleasure to use!  I added a few stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps and this project is ready for Fall!

 

Stamps:

Give Thanks- PKSC-09

Thankful for you!- PKSC-10

Faces on Acorns- PK-143 Piles of Smiles Background 

Papers and Buttons- Bo Bunny

 

 



Counting Sheep

Hello- Fantabulous Cricut Monday's Challenge this week is to make a project with a farm animal Cricut cut. I was looking through my Cricut Imagine booklets and saw this adorable Sheep image in the Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge.  My niece just had a little girl and I though I would make something for her to hang in her baby's nursery.

Chill Out

Time to Chill Out! I followed a sketch for this card that is posted at the Cricut Circle.  Following a sketch is fun because the design work has been done for you.  My frozen treats are from my Imagine Yummy cartridge, along with the tag.  I also printed off some paper from the same cartridge.  I picked out faces for my Popsicle from Peachy Keen stamps.  This set is the  Cornies Face Assortment. My sentiment stamp, "Chill Out!", is from Peachy Keen stamps, PK-115.

Be sure to stop by the Peachy Keen Store. They are having sale this Friday!!

Finally Friday Sale in honor of Friday the 13th, Peachy Keen is  giving away one of Mini Ghost stamp with any order over $13.00 (after the site-wide 13% discount)! Exclusions include gift certificates, Clip it Up, and Kit subscriptions.

Happy Friday the 13th and happy shopping!!

Summer Mini Album

I enjoy making shape albums with my Cricut as they are kinda like a 3-D scrapbook layout.  This album was made with Pack Your Bags, Doodle Charms, and Enjoy the Seasons Cricut cartridges.  These are some pictures I took from a  local beach with my family. To fit more pictures in my album, pictures were tucked behind cuts or place in envelopes.  This is also my entry for the Cricut Circle's Weekly Challenge.  The challenge is to use a sun and the word "summer".  I have 3 suns... I wonder if I will get extra credit?

Supplies Used: 
Stamps: Peachy Keen, PKSC-06 'soak it in', crab's face; PK-112 sun faces; PK-103 inside the sand castle
Papers: Coredinations, Me & My Big Ideas Ellen Krans Starfish, Paper Studio Daydream Doodle
Inks: Tim Holtz Wild Honey
Stickers: K I Memories Juicy Summer

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #17

Happy Mother's Day! I have been at the crafting today and made this card for a sketch challenge at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog. I would love to see what you make for this sketch challenge.

My card is made with PK-116 We go together stamps and my Cricut Imagine Kate's Kitchen cartridge.  I punched circles to cover the original faces and added these darling Peachy Keen faces from the same PK-116 set.  (BUT how fun would it be to put a "sneezy" face on the pepper shaker...).  Just a fun way to mix up some of your supplies to make something new. 

My Candy Jar

There is a sweet Challenge at Peachy Keen's Challenge Blog this week.  Create a 3D object of your choice following the theme and containing candy. Use tubes, containers, bags, pretty much anything that holds candy!!! I decorated a candy jar with images from my Imagine Yummy cartridge.  They have so much more personality with Peachy Keen's face stamps, PK-570 Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment.  The background paper is stamped with Grampa's Pajamas.

The big candy is on an Action Wobble.

I wonder how much candy is left in my candy dish?  Answer = 0
(I will blame the kids BUT robin's eggs are my favorite, LOL.)

Peachy Keen is awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and our two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!  I can't wait to see what you create.

Happy Valentine's Day

Nothing like waiting until the last minute!  I made this card for my hunky husband... 'cause I whaley love him. I am entering this in a challenge too at the Cricut Circle.  The challenge is to make a Valentine's Day card with ribbon and a gem.  I used my Cricut Imagine (love that machine). 

Get Well... to me?

This week create a "get well" card or project and incorporate a Cuttlebug embossing folder, kraft card stock, and string somewhere on the project.  The roses are from the Imagine More Cards cartridge and I cut the roses an additional two times so I could pop them up.  I shall have to spray this card with Lysol before I send it as I have pneumonia!  I have been sick for a long time.. and I guess IT went into my lungs.  Hopefully the mega dose of antibiotics will do the trick.  For the record, Teresa was RIGHT! 

Oh, Christmas Tree

Here is a holiday card I made for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, Challenge #88.  I am still playing with my Imagine and Cricut Craft Room, CCR  This card is made with the Imagine Cart Enjoy the Season.  I used CCR to modify the image size and tree layer to fit an A2 sized card. 

Sweet Gingerbread Card

The Cricut Circle's Challenge: We all have them in one form or another . . . flowers! Most of the time we buy them in a package, use a few, tuck them away and then forget that we have them. This week’s challenge we want you to shop your stash and incorporate purchased flowers into your project, whether it’s a card, layout, home decor item, etc. Be sure to include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts on your project.

Cricut Cuts: Gingerbread - Enjoy the Seasons

Phrase -  Beyond Birthdays

Base - Elegant Edges

Images Flood filled with Enjoy the Seasons Imagine Cartridge

FCCB Challenge Me Monday #85

This week, Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's challenge is all about books! Create a project that has something to do with a book. You can make a book, include a book on your project, create a bookmark, etc. There are lots of possibilities! This is a free advertisement calendar my dad got in the  mail.  I thought I would cover it and use it to keep track of my challenge projects.  The cut is from Forever Young and the Imagine Best Friends Cartridge was used for the pattern papers.   I like how the Imagine will scale the pattern paper down for smaller cuts.  A Hampton Art stamp set was stamped on the background paper.

My Puppy and Me Scrapbook Page

Here is a scrapbook page made with the Cricut Imagine and Best Friends cartridge.  I made this project for another Cricut Blog Anniversary challenge.  The Challenge: Use your Imagine Machine to print a background (it can be a solid color or a patterned paper from your Imagine cartridge) and use it on your project as well as cutting an image of your choice in layers- that’s right, choose the layers option on your image and print out one or all of the layers offered, piece them together on your project!

Think Pink Card

The Cricut Circle is celebrating the first year of their blog with challenges for members.  The Challenge: Create a project of your choice using a monochromatic color scheme. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut Image Cuts.  I used my Imagine to cut the scene and separated the layers and flooded the original colors with pink tones. The only detail that I could not get pink was the leaves on the flowers but I was able to shade those with a pink Copic marker.

The Best Autograph

My girls, thanks to their uncle Steve, have season passes at Disneyland this year.  We visited Disneyland almost every week and the girls have been filling their autograph books.  Captain Hook has the best autograph so far, with Jessie coming in a close second.  I was so thrilled to use my Imagine for Captain Hooks face. 

Hooked on my Imagine

I am making a scrapbook page from a Disneyland trip but had to share my Captain Hook face with you.  Using Cricut Craft Room, I was able to print his face.  The faces of the Disney Characters have always been very hard for me to layer.  Captain Hook has tons of layers but if one were skilled in Cricut Craft Room you could print and cut the whole image. 

The Sun Banner

I wanted to create a summer theme banner for my dinning room and decided to combine that idea with a challenge at the Cricut Circle's August Monthly Challenge: Create a Scene Challenge.  I made these "summer scenes" at the ends of the banner with my new imagine and Best Friends cartridge.  The font is Alphalicious.  Extras on the backgrounds are from Pop-Up Neighborhood, Life is a Beach, and Smiley Cards.

Peachy Keen Sketch Callenge # 56

I made this card to enter in the Challenge on  my brand spankin' new Imagine.  I am really impressed with this machine and my Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids face looks right at home on this strawberry.
