Peachy Chickie Card

Hello my treasured friends!

First and foremost, Happy New Year to you all! I have missed you all greatly, and it feels great to finally get back into crafting and blogging! During the holidays, I lost my creative mojo, then got it back, but my room was a huge mess so I couldn't craft. Then I was thinking about my crafting, and I really figured out that due to my hectic school schedule, and the amount of my own crafting projects that I need to get done, I should focus on those things, and hence, not apply for any design teams. I will however, be participating in the challenges going around that I see fit with a project that I'm working on, etc. By doing so, this will really help contribute to my New Years resolutions, and I hope that you all are working towards yours as well!

So let's kick off the year right! I created this adorable chickie card for a dear friend of mine. Her birthday was last week, and she absolutely adores chickens, chicks, and anything of the sort, so this one is for you my friend! :) Peachy Keen is having a linky party, which you can participate as well here. I'll also be entering this into Celebrate the Occasion's challenge, to create a child's birthday card, and into Birthday Sundae's Challenge to create a birthday card. This card will fit right in, and you can play along as well here. So are we ready?? Here it is!

 
Isn't she just the cutest?? My friend loves chicks and the colour purple, so my Trendy Twine's Grape Fizz was the perfect addition! Here's the list of treasures!

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - 3.5 x 6" cut in kraft cardstock, and rounded at the outer corners with the Creative Memories Corner Rounder, and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Ink
• Card Layer - shape from Cricut Lite Lacy Labels cartridge cut at 3.15 x 5.75", cloud paper from My Little Shoebox's Home Tweet Home Collection, and cut an additional layer in green and used the Fiskars Grass Punch to create the grass
• Chick - cut from Simply Charmed Cartridge at 3", faced stamped with PK-754 Medium Critter Faces, added Trendy Twine's Grape Fizz for the cute bow, and added Inkssentials White Enamel Accents for the tummy
• Balloons - punched with Martha Stewart's Balloon Punch, and added more Trendy Twine's Grape Fizz to finish off the balloons

I have more projects to post, so visit me soon! Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Until next time's treasures,

Peachy Keen Challenge: Cookies for Santa

Hello my treasured friends!

I hope all the holiday decor is up, with the shopping almost done! It has been a week of crafting for me! Last night was a surprise party that I threw for my boyfriend. He is now a licensed Certified Automotive Technician, and I'm super duper proud of him! I'll post pics of everything once I can get the card back from him to take a picture ;)

Meanwhile, Christmas is a week away! You know what that means..it's time to leave out cookies for Santa! I should have added a glass of milk to the card but that totally slipped my mind, oops! Next time! :) Here's my entry for Peachy Keen's Designers' Choice Challenge and My Craft Spot's Challenge 37 - Christmas Shape Cards.

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - 5.25 x 5.25", welded in my Gyspy in kraft with the shape from Lacy Labels
• Layer - 5 x 5", patterned paper from DCWV Christmas Stack
• Plate - From My Kitchen cartridge; if you do not own this cartridge, you can cut out one larger circle, and a smaller one. My "larger" circle is cut out in gold, while the smaller one is cut in silver
• Gingerbread & Star Cookies - used the CottageCutz Gingerbread doll die for the gingerbread men, and used PK-520 Winter Faces Assortment for the cute patootie face. Added the bling with my iRock, and used my Gelly Roll Pen for the icing. The stars are cut from the Creative Memories Star Maker, and used Inkssentials White Enamel Accents and gold Stickles for the icing

During this Christmas season, make sure to give to those who are less fortunate. Everyone deserves a warm place to rest their hearts this season.

Until next time's treasures,

CTO Challenge 32: Any Occasion with Ribbon - Mr. and Mrs.

Hello my treasured friends!

There's a lot of fun challenges going on this week that I would love to participate in! If only I had more time! Make sure to check back this week for more posts, and if you have not done so already, make sure to enter into the giveaway here. You have until the 30th!

For this week's Celebrate the Occasion Challenge, you can create a card for ANY occasion, just make sure to include ribbon! Isn't that great? We make cards for all sorts of occasions! I was having a hard time deciding which occasion to create a card for! In the end, I created a wedding-themed card that I also entered into the My Craft Spot Ribbon Challenge. 

 

I'm just loving how it turned out! Here's a close-up of the Pink by Design sentiment.

And here's the stamped sentiment on the inside of the card:

Pengu Pengu!!

Hi everyone!

I've been working on some Christmas tags for an upcoming craft fair this November. So I've been mass producing these adorable little penguins from the Peachy Keen Penguin Doll Dies. These are just the cutest!! I've been adding different accessories to these cuties, so I'll be posting some pictures once I finish them all. These penguins will be added to gift card holders, cards, and gift tags.

For this week's Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge it is to create a project using an animal as the main theme.

I used the smallest sized stamp from the new Winter Wonderland Face Assortment for my little penguin's face! Didn't it come out super adorably?? I just love it!! I LOVE this patterned paper -- I purchased it last year from a local scrapbook store and I'm sorry but I have no idea what company manufactures it! I wish I had purchased more than one sheet!! It has beautiful glitter on it! 

Trail of Treasures:

• Penguin cut using the Cuttlebug with the CottageCutz Penguin Doll Die
• Face from PK-482 Winder Wonderland Face Assortment
• Tag cut at 3" from Cricut Lite Lacy Labels Cartridge 
• Sentiment from PBD Christmas Wishes Set
• White Gelly Roll Pen
• Glossy Accents
• Ribbon
• Glitter

I just love how cute he turned out!! Make sure to join me back here on Tuesday for another Celebrate the Occasion challenge!

Until next time's treasures,
