It is your day!

Happy Mother's Day! I have a card to share today that could be for a good friend. This is a slider card that is at the Silhouette online store, Card Kit Flower Pot by Lorie Whitlock. Super easy card to assemble and I love the design. The flowers remind me of my mom as she enjoyed gardening and had blue flowers on her patio. I added buttons for the centers and sentiment stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-206 Female Floating Frog.




Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Chirp Up



Hello! I was SO thrilled to spot that the Silhouette's Blog will be hosting a Weekly Shape Challenge  I think it will be a lot of fun to see the projects created with their selected shape. For this week, make a project with Banners Set of Six by Kate Garfield.  For this card, I made one of the banners large and used a segment of the bird banner.  These birds seem like they have some good advise to share.  I selected "Chirp Up" from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-196 Bird Sentiments.

I can't wait until next Friday to see the shape for next week!

My Barnyard of Cards

Happy Monday! There is a shaped card challenge at the Peachy Keen Connection.  I enjoy making shaped cards so this seemed fun to me.  I wanted to see what the face stamps from the new May PKSC-17 would look like on die cut shapes.  These animals are from the Silhouette Online Store, Animal Set by Rivka Wilkins.  To make the cards, I welded the shapes together to make a base. For the next step, I made a shadow and then welded two shadow shapes near the side to make the card.

The sentiments are from the PKSC-17 set too. Be sure to make your card by May 8 and link at the Peachy Keen Connection.  A random entry will win a twenty five dollar gift certificate at the Peachy Keen Store!

Little Girl

Here is my last post today! I was super busy last night, but had a lot of fun.  Echo Park saved the best challenge for last. Challenge #4, 10x the love, create a layout that includes 10 of something.  WOW, that  freaked me out! Ten of something? My solution was to make a banner with "10 flags". (totally inspired by Echo Park's logo for their NSD event)  Here is my sweetie pie niece Parker. The paper I used is from Echo Park's Little Girl and I love the bright and fun colors in this collection.

Peachy Keen Stamps May Sneak Peek

Welcome! It is sneak peek time at Peachy Keen Stamps. I made this gift tag with stamps from the new May 2013 set. I stamped the piggy on pink paper and added some chalk and white gel pen for highlights.  Like most of the Peachy Keen Collection, you can select the faces to create a unique look for your project.


And here is another sneak... my "beach baby" card was made with one of the add on sets, PK-209 Life is Good Babies. Isn't she TOO CUTE!


Be sure to check out the Peachy Keen Blog this week to see more of these new stamps.
