Sleepy Hollow

Happy Halloween! I hope you all have some fun plans! Last night me & my hubby dressed up as vampires and my little one was a cute little pumpkin, we had a great time with friends! Our vampire makeup was kinda crazy..we felt like the biggest dorks at first, but everyone liked it! :) I can't wait to see some fun pics everyone has of their Halloween!

So I have my last Halloween card for the year...I'm kinda sad, I was loving making all these spooky cards! This one is kind of a scraplift from an idea book I have. The Sleepy Hollow tag is a sticker I've had in my stash for awhile.

Hope you like it..have a fun day!!

It's ~Let's Face it Friday~ at Peachy Keen!

Who's ready for another fun Peachy Keen Challenge?!? I am! :) It's Let's Face it Friday and the theme for this challenge is to create a holiday ORNAMENT with your Peachy Keen faces..any shape, color and size! I love this theme because I got to make something for my favorite holiday-Christmas of course! So I made a cute little snowman family to hang on my tree....

I welded the shadows of the snowmen along with the joy banner together for the base. The snowmen are from Doodlecharms and the Joy banner is from Christmas Cheer. I even spritz the entire thing with some pearl glimmer mist, which looks so cool in person, but it's really hard to photograph..you can barely see it. :( ..but besides that I love the end result of my little snow family!
For the faces on the snowMAN and snowMOM ((hehe..I just made up a word..lol)) I used the PK Winter face assortment and for the snowBABY I used newest PK faces the PK Snow Cuties face assortment. 

I hope you likey! And if you have some Peachy Keen faces please join us in the challenge, you will have a chance to win some yummy goodies! And check out what the fabulous DT girls did, you will love it!

It's almost Halloween!

And I'm sooo happy I got a chance to make a few more Halloween cards! I was having fun whipping these out! lol..I've picked up a lot of goodies here and there when they go on sale and I needed to make something with this stuff before the holiday passing me up...I think I'm at that point were I have to much supplies and not enough time! Any one know what I mean!?! LOL...I know I'm not the only one!...So here's what I have been up to....

For this card I used the PK Lisa Jean Halloween stamp set and the coldren card is from Mini Monsters.

 This was one of my 1st attempts at really coloring in a stamped image. I'm trying to get more practice and get better at it. I just used my regular ol' colored pencils...maybe once I get a little better I will take the plunge (you know..either some Prisma colored pencils or dare I say..Copics!)

 I had to add a lil' bit of glossy glaze to the bubbles too!

 For this card I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the town and embossed it with black powder, the paper is by Cosmo Cricket and I finally bought a label maker and used it for the title.

I love the way this spooky owly card  came out. I got a fun set of Martha Stewart emblishments and this owl was part of the set. All the pieces are glittery. So I cut the tag from Storybook and layered it, did some faux stitching and I also heat embossed the 'BOO' too! :)

I even did some good old fashion paper tearing! :)

Are you all still with me? LOL..I told  you I was having fun making these..so for my last card I used some fun EAD Stickerz the ~Hocus Pocus~ set. This was my1st attempt at paper pleating. I've seen this done before and loved the look..it was kind of tricky for me, but I think I got it down.

Wheew! You made it through! LOL...hope you enjoyed my spooky cards! If I have some more time I will make a few more , I still have lots of goodies to play with! Have a great day! :)

Cricut Cardz Challenge ~Thanksgiving Card~

Hi there! Well I thought I was going to be able  to get some more Halloween cards done, but I don't know if that is gonna happen now! Most of my DT work this week is for the other holidays..which I'm really looking forward to. So that brings us to the Cricut Cardz Challenge and this weeks theme is to make a Thanksgiving card using any card feature from any cricut cartridge. I did something I usually don't do and made what I call a 'cheater card' lol..I know it's not really cheating, but when I make the card feature cards I feel like it's cheating just a little lol..I also used yellow as my card base, which I don't think I have ever done and I stamped the 'blessing' border but I wasn't to sure if I liked it or not..what do  you think??

I used the Winter Woodland cartridge for the card...yes I used a Christmas cart for Thanksgiving! :) I've loved that lil' squirrel since the first time I laid eyes on it! lol..So anywho I hope you like my card and I hope you all can join in the challenge! Have a great day!

EAD Fun!

Hello everyone! Today is Monday, which brings us to another EAD hop! If you came from the EAD Blog then you are in the right spot! Today I have a fun bday card I made for my nephew who just turned 3! I'm pretty sure he liked it! lol..I used the Monster Birthday Stickerz.

 I kept this more simple since it's a boy card...but I did squeeze in a little bit of doodling along the edges.

I'm hoping to pump out a few more Halloween cards this week, since it's just a few days away now...so keep an eye out for more EAD spookiness! :)

I also want to give our guest DT for this month ~Julie Tucker-Wolek~ a HUGE thank you for joining us! It has been sooo great having you create with us ((and hearing all about your little Brookie...she's soo cute!)) Thank you, thank you!

Venting...and 2 cards..

Hi everyone! Are you enjoying your Sunday? Hopefully you are...I am going to RELAX! It has been such a busy week for me. Yesterday me and my sis Sandra went to a Scrapbook Expo, it has kinda become a little tradition for the two of us now, we've gone for the past 3 years now! But this year it was a different story...we both didn't have babysitters so we had our little ones with us and all I have to say is next year we WILL have babysitters! LOL! Strollers and babies do mix well with hundreds of people squeezing through tiny isles, and it's really hard to focus on getting the best deal when your little one is throwing a tantrum! OMG! never again!! lol .... I was able to find a booth with unbelievable deals on cartridges..I got 3 for only 60 buck! and I was so tempted to get some Copics but I thought I would hold off just a little bit longer..maybe next time! :)

So besides that...I did manage to get two little cards done during the week and I finally have some down time to post them. These are some more sneaks of the new Scrappy Mom's Stamps 'A Pinch and A Dash'.

 I used Create a Critter and PK Extra Large Critter Faces to make this shape card.

 I thought this one was funny...since one of the ice creams has a bite taken out of it! :)

 I used Simply Charmed and PK Everyday Character Face Assortment  for this card.

 Hope you like 'em, thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out what the Scrappy Mom's DT has made with the new stamp set HERE!

 I wanted to make this girl tall enough to get a good size Peachy face on her, so I cut her at like 7 inches (this is a tall card-9x4) and I used the Peachy Keen-Blushing Bride Faces.

Love it!

I wasn't to sure what to make since all I have been making lately is cards...I had to dust off my brain a little and really think! LOL.. so I decided to make a door sign, you know like the 'do not disturb' type of thingys, but I made my Halloweenish..take a look...

 There's lots of glitter on the words...and the vamp even has some bling on his bowtie! :)

This is the 1st one of these door signs I have made, but I think it came out cute. I might even make one for my daughter's room soon! :)  I cut the sign from the My Community cart, the letters are from Storybook and the vamp and spider w/web are from Mini Monsters. The vamp & spider faces are from the PK Monster Mash Face assort...I hope you all can join in the challenge this week!
