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

Until next time's treasures,

LFIF Peachy Keen Challenge: Organize It

Hi everyone!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend! In Canada (particularly B.C.), we just had a long weekend. Although the sun didn't make its way out till the very end (better late than never!!), it was still an enjoyable weekend with great friends and good food.

This weekend I was able to get a project done. I worked on the Let's Face it Friday Peachy Keen Challenge: make anything that will help you become more organized. My boyfriend's niece and nephew throw their papers everywhere once they get home from school, or even the ones that they draw. Thus, I decided to make something for those youngsters to keep their drawings in.

This is a paper organizer that you can keep on your fridge. You can easily open it up and add papers to it -- drawings, notices, you name it. What I did was take an 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock, folded it in half, adhered a strip of patterned paper to the end of one side, and used a circle punch to punch out just half of the circle, and used my ATG to tape down the ends. When you open it up, this is what it looks like:

Then, I added my images to the front, and finished it off by adhering two magnetic strips to the back.

This is the finished project attached to the fridge. Of course, you'd have to place it down lower on the fridge in reach of the little ones. That way they can be more hands on with their own school work, cleaning, etc.

Peachy Keen Let's Face It Friday Challenge - Sew Super Cute

Hi Everyone!

I hope that everyone's weekend is off to a good start! Mine has been pretty busy so far but great, needless to say!

I had to make a card for my niece and nephew's upcoming birthdays, and the challenge for Peachy Keens was to use faux or real stitching. This was easy for me since I often do incorporate faux stitching into my cards. However, I thought that I would test out my new sew easy tool. I'm not really too sure how my thoughts are on it yet since I didn't really do what I wanted it to do..I wasn't too good at keeping my piercing line straight. :( Here's my card though! I like how it turned out "sew super cute!"

My little niece is turning one and my nephew will be turning two. Their birthdays are two weeks apart, so their mom is combining the two parties, and the theme is..you guessed it...Mickey and Minnie Mouse! :)

My card is 5 x 7 and a majority of the cuts are from the Baby Steps Cartridge, which is exclusive to JoAnns. Let me tell you..I LOVE this cartridge! Once it was released I knew I had to have it! Although I don't have kids yet, the cuts were too cute to pass up! I have so many young cousins, nieces and nephews, that it is definitely worth it! And..of course my Peachy Keen Stamps added so much more character to the little darlings! I used the coordinating sets -- PK-642 Boy Mates Assortment && PK-640 Princess Face Assortment. These two sets are a definite must have!


See you back here for next time's treasure hunt!
