Autumn Mini

I just finished decorating this adorable autumn mini shape album that I purchased at SVG cuts, Acorn Autumn SVG Kit.  I don't own a big collection of their files (yet) so I added a few cuts from my Cricut and my Peachy Keen Stamps to embellish this mini album. 

 

The cover cuts are from the SVG Kit and I added the scarecrow

from the Peachy Keen Stamp Club, PKSC-09

The tree is is from Give a Hoot Cricut cartridge.

The pumpkin in the wagon is from Peachy Keen, PKSC-10.

 



The Owl and Squirrel are from Give a Hoot Cricut cartridge.

The squirrel's face and the sentiment stamps are from PKSC-10.

The animals at the petting zoo were not hungry...

therefor the journal tag "stuffed?"

 

The hamster is from Four Legged Friends Cricut Cartridge.

His face is a stamp in the PKSC-10 collection.

(I wanted to go the the pumpkin farm with the corn maze

and hay rides. I was vetoed by the kids

wanting to play in these hamster balls. 

Nothing says fall like hamster balls, LOL)

 



The pumpkin boarder can be found on the Paper Trimmings by Cricut.

The cutie chipmunks are stamps in the PKSC-10 kit.

 

The papers for my album are from last year's Target Dollar bin and the Basic Grey's Shine On Collection.  





So Sweet

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! I have a thank you card to share today. The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is to make a thank you card. You can check out the cards and challenge HERE.  I have a wonderful neighbor that is "so sweet" to me and my girls. The base of this card was welded with my Gypsy and is the jar cut from Doodlecharms. (I chuckle every time I use Doodlecharms because I bought this cartridge thinking "this will be the ONLY cartridge I will own.") The bee is from Pooh and Friends and his face is from PK-122 Funny Farm. "So Sweet" is from Once Upon a Princess. I hand cut the shadow at the base... my friends call this process "Cricut surgery". LOL

Thanks for stopping by- Enjoy all the fun this weekend!

Ready to get BASTED!

Oh ya! I love to say this as if Michael Buffer was announcing-  Are You Reeeeeeeeeeeeeady TO GET Basted! The colors for this card came from Peachy Keen's Color Challenge. Link up by 11/21 - 11:59 pm EST.  I hope you have time to craft and enter the Challenge this week-

I - Challenge

Imaginisce is having some challenges this weekend... I was interested in playing along so hit my local scrapbook store after work on Friday to pick up some of the cute papers from Imaginisce.  No luck.  But, my little gal and I found some paper at Michael's of all places!  Check out the details of the Challenges HERE. Entries are due by November 21, 2012.

Challenge #1 Sketch Challenge:

Pattern Paper- Imaginisce Cottage Christmas,
 Gingerbread Village, Winter Woods
Deer- Cricut, Create a Citter 2

Challenge #3 Color Challenge, use teal, orange, purple, green, black.
The paper from the Dig Dino's Collection had most of these colors. I even made a custom button with my I-top tool.

The dino on the button looks like he is looking at his fate...
aww, not so Dino-riffic
Fossil cut- Cricut Dinosaur tracks
Stamp- My Pink Stamper, Boy Crazy

Challenge #4- Use Stitching.  For my "stitching", I used a marker and I think it adds to the country feel of the Imaginisce Cottage Christmas paper line.

Stamps are from Peachy Keen- PK-149
Tag Cut- Cricut Sentimentals


Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having a great weekend :)

Happy Kitty Card

I just love this cat stamp! (shhh... don't tell my dog.)  I followed a sketch at Fun n Flair Stamps, which is hosting their first challenge.  Their design team has some adorable projects too!  This cat stamp is in the "Miss Shayla at Christmas Time Stamp Set".  She sure is enjoying life...

  Cricut cuts: fish and yarn, Meow Lite Banner shapes, Something to Celebrate

Happy Fall Banner Frame

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

For my scrapbook page, I stamped the adorable elves from the new Peachy Keen Stamp Club set, PKSC-11.  They are colored with Copic markers that would complement the paper from Echo Park's Holly Jolly paper line.  These Peachy Keen elves are the perfect pair to my sweetheart gals.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges and SALE!

I hope you were able to join the party... but if not the Challenges are still open to be eligible to win some Peachy Keen Stamps!  Check out the Peachy Keen Connection and link up your projects for the challenges.  Challenges will remain open until Sunday, November 11th at 11:59 p.m CST.
For Challenge #1, you need to make a tag.  I made a tag for my "handsome buck" with the new
PKSC-11. You can join the Stamp Club and save on your purchase of these BIG stamp sets.

This darling deer is in a frame cut with Joys of the Seasons Cricut Cartridge.



For Challenge #2, make a project with a snow flake.  One of my other hobbies is decorative painting... and I bought these porcelian ornaments to paint.  I thought I would try distress ink on them and that worked very nicely.  The dear has the same face used on the tag above... but with a different nose.  I love the mix and match factor of Peachy Keen's Stamps. 

Deer is from Create a Critter 2, cut at 2 inches

the backside of the snowflake ornament
