Market Street Stamps Block Party

This weekend Market Street Stamps is having a "block party".  You can join the fun at their "Neighborhood" ning site.  Members can download a free digi stamp! This month I had to grab this dress.  I think it is so chic..

Adorbs!

It is Throw Back Thursday at My Creative Time.  This is a challenge to use any Cricut cartridge with a frame.  I picked Twinkle Toes for this mouse and frame.  The stamp is from Cherish This Moment from My Creative Time.  I just think this mouse is Adorbs!

Shhh.. don't tell the cats.  This face is from the new
Here Kitty Kitty Face Assortment from Peachy Keen

Peachy Challenge 15 - Just Cards

The Challenge:  Create a card using your Peachy Keen Stamps to make your own original background! Your design must be new and be sure to link up by May 2, 11:59 EST.  Stop by the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge blog to see all the all the wonderful cards and enter your card.They will be awarding "TOP PEACH" and two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

This challenge was so fun... I made two cards! 

For my fist card, I cut a drink shape from the Pack Your Bags Cricut cartridge.  I wanted a 50s retro feel and stamped the drink shape with the umbrella from PK-105 Happy Hour on my background paper.  A cupcake liner was altered into a paper umbrella.  I added flowers on the umbrella by tapping my Copic markers and then rolled a little scrap of white paper for the topper.


The "cheers! "sentiment is from the same stamp set
PK-105 Happy Hour



For my next card, I used the two cherry stamps from PK-106 With a Cherry on Top!.  The cherries seem to be the perfect fit from the sentiment I found on the Cricut cartridge Lyrical Letters.  The die cut cherries have faces from PK-480 Christmas Character Face Assortment.

My Kitty Friends

These sweet kitty cats are my friend Teresa's cats, George and Six.  I have to admit, if I could own a cat I would love to have an orange tabby cat just like these playful  cats.  My dog Ranger is not friendly with cats nor are the nasty coyotes that patrol our neighborhood. Eeek!

I created this scrapbook page to enter into the Color Challenge this week at Peachy Keen's Challenge Blog.  There is a nice stamp set with sentiments and three peachy faces up for grabs for the winner. I used the new kitty PK-111 Here Kitty Kitty stamps to make my "paper" versions of Kitty George and Kitty Six.  The cats are from Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge and I really like the added personality these stamps give to very basic die cuts.

Teachers Rock Challenge

The Weekly Challenge at the Cricut Circle: Create a project of your choice using primary colors. Enhance your Cricut cuts using chalk.

I selected primary colors with a tint for my card.  The images are from The Good Old Days Imagine cartridge and I chalked around the tag.  The striped paper is from the same cartridge but I cut the green stripe out.  The sentiment stamp is from a set that I picked up at Micheals from Stampendous!

Baby Shower Time

There is a new challenge at the Cricut Circle to make a table centerpiece.  My niece will be having a new baby soon so I thought I would make this little cradle for her baby shower.  I plan on setting the cradle next to the cake AND including this as a party game.  The cradle holds a tag style mini book.  Each guest can write "mom advice" or well wishes.  I think it will be fun-

The cradle is from Baby Shower and all other cuts are
from Baby Steps Cricut Cartridge.

Stamps are faces are from Peachy Keen. Her face is from
PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment.
Bear face is PK-140 Teddy Bear Face Parts with
eyes from PK-480 Christmas Character Face Assortment

Jungle Party Card

This monkey from Sweethearts Cricut cartrige is swinging in the jungle.  He is on a "vine" ribbon and is attached to a palm tree.  The cloud background is a stamp from Peacky Keen, PK-107 Cloudy Day.  I am so glad to have this stamp in my collection for outdoor (or jungle) scenes.

Mr. Monkey's face is from Peachy Keen Stamps,  PKSC-04
This set has seperate eyes and mouths... which makes it easy to customized
your die cuts.  I just added nostrils with a marker.

Sentiment is from the same Peachy Keen Stamp set
PKSC-04.  Monkey's always take time to party!!
