Peachy Keen Stamps and Quick Quotes Blog Hop-Day 2

**If you are looking for the Paper Issues Blog Hop click HERE. Thanks!**

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Peachy Keen Stamps and Quick Quotes blog hop!
This is a big 2 day hop, with PKS AND Quick Quotes DT members, so if you haven't already make sure to hop through yesterdays designers blogs for a chance to win  the grand prize!

You can start HERE, or if you came from Ruthie's blog then you're in the right spot!

Us girls on the PKS design team got to play with some wonderful papers and embellishments that come in the Quick Quotes kits..these papers are sooo pretty and have lots of variety. I loved the collection I got to use, the colors fit right with my style! :) And they are double sided..I love double sided paper..perfect for paper flowers!  Here's a fun layout of my Natalie...

The kit came with definition quotes, but I loved the font on the big letters, so I just trimmed around and used them for my title.

I love to make paper flowers, these ones are really easy peasy to make you can find a simple tutorial HERE on how to make them. I also used my i-Top for the brad centers.

Of course I had to Peachify my layout with a little cutie. I used the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge to cut the lil' girl and used the PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids face assortment for her face.

I also really LOVED the quotes that come with the kit..this one is really sweet and went well with the theme.

I hope you like my page! :)

Little Man -Momenta DT Project

Hey everyone! Yesterday I was the host over on the Momenta blog. I had an open choice to make anything I wanted..so I went with a cute baby book for my friend. I finally got to use my acrylic album ((now sold in the Peachy Keen store)) and I used some fun Momenta papers, the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge, Scrappy Mom's Stamps..lots of cute stuff! Here's what I posted:

Hi everyone! Joanna here, if you are a follower of my blog then you know I am a BIG fan of my Cricut! I love making my own diecuts to coordinate with my layouts or cards. The best part about using a die-cutting machine, like the Cricut, is that you can use any pattern papers you want! 

I have a friend who is expecting her 1st little baby boy and I wanted to surprise her with this little baby mini album. I used a 4x4 acrylic book and layered all my die-cuts with some fun Momenta stickers and messages. I used the adorable Cuddle and Coo collection paired with the Baby Steps cricut cartridge to complete my book.

(front & back)

This came out super cute and looks great in person! I added lots of dimension with pop dots and the mini clear layered stickers (bird & giraffe) added the perfect touch. I also used some cute Peachy Keen Stamps to stamp the baby faces and used some Scrappy Mom's Stamps for the sweet sentiments. Hope you like it! :)

Momenta supplies:

PA-2332 CUD 12x12 Prem Paper Pad

ST-4852 C&C mini cl

Other Supplies:

PKS -Let's Face it Friday Challenge -Shaped Cards

Hi everyone! I know it's been quite around here, but I have some good news..I got my mojo back! lol.. I just needed a little time and some inspiration.
That brings us to today's project over on the Peachy Keen challenge blog the DT was asked to make a "Peachified" shaped card. My inspiration is my sweet friend, she's having her 1st baby and I'm soo excited for her! I'm thinking of attempting a diaper cake for her shower, I've never made one before but I got one for my shower and thought it was the cutest thing. Does anyone have any sugesstions or tips on making one? I'd love to hear! :)

Anywhoo, here's my card for the challenge, I used the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and the PK-Boy Mates face assortment and all the pattern papers are by Momenta. Since this cartridge doesn't have a shadow feature I just used a brad to attach the 2 layers..super easy!

*The sentiment is by Scrcappy Mom's "Special Delivery" set.

Hope you like it! Be sure to visit the PKS challenge blog for more inspiration and more info. The prize is pretty sweet! ;)

Have a great weekend!

My blue eyed girl

Hey again! This is my 2nd post for the day..lucky you! :)

For my BIG giveaway post click HERE or scroll down!

 So I'm back because I couldn't wait to share this layout I finished up yesterday. I recently got the PageMaps 2 book (I have the 1st one and LOVE it!), this book has tons of inspiration, lots and lots of sketches to build layouts and cards. I definitely recomend it to anyone needing some mojo help! 

So my layout today was inspired by one of the many sketches found in the book, and because I just stocked up on some new scrappin' goodies I HAD to break 'em in! 

-My Blue Eyed Girl-

LOVE this page! One of my favies!

To start this LO I used a 12x12 piece of white cardstock, I spritz the background with blue (Patina) glimmer mist. I cut all of the squares in 2x2 pieces and rounded the corners. I embossed the blue on the left side and sanded the circles (love that effect!).  I love using those big Prima flowers on my pages, I get mine from Michaels...the brads, flair, & 'sweet' sticker (on top center)  are from the Dear Lizzy collection by American Crafts.

I actually did some journaling *patting myself on the back*..I never know what to add in my journaling so I usually don't do it, but I think I will TRY to start that way Natalie will have something to read about these photos when she is older. :)

I hope you like it, it's one of my faves!

Heaven Sent

Hey there! It's day 2 of Scrappy Mom's sneaks! I am loving the 'Special Delivery' set so much! It goes perfectly with my new Baby Steps cartridge!

All of the sentiments are so adorable!

Here's today's card..

Have you noticed I've been using those little puffy clouds on my projects lately?? That's because I finally got myself a cloud punch! You all know I love me some clouds, so I am in heaven right now! :)

I've never used grey as my card base before, but I thought it was a good fit with the pattern paper. I also glitterfied (is that a word? lol..) the polka dot moon for a fun touch!
Hope you like it!
