Peachy Keen December Sneak Peak!

Good Morning! I have two cards to share that feature the NEW Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month stamps form Peachy Keen Stamps.  Darling stamps for celebrations, New Years, winter, and more sweet faces are included in this stamp set. 
For  my first card, I stamped the martini glass and "cheers" sentiment.  The background is a cut from Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge.

My next card is a birthday card for a belated birthday.  I love the single candle's expression inside the card, he looks a little upset about missing the actual birthday.  The card base is a SVG file that is available at Lori Whitlock's store, Flip Swing Card Set 3. 

Be sure to check out the Peachy Keen Blog this week for more projects featuring the new stamps for December 2012.  And mark your calendars! The Release Party is on December 5, at the Peachy Keen Connection Site, 6 pm CST.

Fluff Those Feathers

Shape card projects are the challenge at the Peachy Keen Bog this week.  The Challenge- make a card with a shaped base (anything but a square or rectangle).  Be sure to link your card by December 5, 11:59 EST.  For my card, I used the new Cricut cartridge Folk Art Festival.  This cartridge has some elegant shaped card bases and as the name implies, folk art cuts.  So here is my "country hen" with her "fluff those feathers" message. 

Card out for publication-


Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum

Happy Weekend!  I stayed up last night playing with  my Cameo and Christmas SVG cut kits.  The drum is from Santa's Visit kit and the base of the drum is surrounded by toys cut from the Christmas morning kit.  The drum from the kit was perfectly sized for a 4 in pot and went together very easily as I have found with the kits I have purchased from the SVG cuts store.  I sized the toys to fit around the base of the drum.  My family is big into decorating for Christmas but my 85 year old dad is slowing down a bit.  (although he put up his Christmas decorations on the outside of his house all by himself....Grrr) I made this project with my dad in mind, thinking it would be a nice centerpiece for his coffee table.

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-
