Some fun in this rainy, yucky weather!

Even though it is pouring rain, dreary and miserable out today I have a smile on my face! Today is the start of the blog hop that we are throwing in celebration of the Peachy Keen Stamps new September releases. OMG! When I say adorable I mean adorable!!! Mrs. Kathy never fails so amaze me. Every time I think she can't top the stamp I love, WHAM she hits us with more. To see all of the new releases click HERE.

Every designer was given a set to work with. I was given PK-637 Lisa Jean Halloween to use. This set has endless possibilities. I love that there is an extra arm that you can pose the witch in different ways. You could also use this as a "I'm sorry I have been such a witch lately" or something to that effect.




I started my image one late night after I came home from volunteering. It was one of those situations where I should of just walked away. I tried to save my poor little witch by using paint and flower soft for the hair. I just kinda slopped it on because I thought I wasn't going to use it. But when time got away from me I had to.

After I was done with the image I burned the edges and let it cool. Then I took a few more of the images from this set and stamped them on Shrinky Dinks and colored with my Prismacolored pencils. I wanted to get the witches legs into the cauldron which is how I came up with the idea to use Shrinky Dinks. I just love how the potion bottle came out! The amount of detail in such a small piece is amazing!! You will also see some guest appearances from the ghost and bat which are from PK-631 Halloween Minis & PK-630 Nikkity Knack Cat Gang.

This is what I came up with:

Now for the fun part! Each DT member along the way of the hop (see below for the full order of the hop) is giving away the stamp set that they used in their design!! How fun is that????? So if you just got here make sure to start at the beginning to leave comments on all of the posts to increase your chances of winning. We all pick our own winners so potentially you can win multiple times!! YIPPEE!!

All you have to do to win the set I am giving away is leave a comment on this post. How about telling us what your favorite Halloween costume was growing up??? The only ones I really remember were the ones my Mom made me. OMG..one year I was Wonder Woman and she had this star wallpaper that she wrapped around my boots, wrists and even made me a head piece. Then one year I was Raggedy Ann and I wore a red mop on my head...I loved it! I remember coming home with our sacks full of candy and all of us siblings would sit around a circle and barter & trade what we wanted and didn't want....How grand childhood is!

You have until October 4th to leave a comment to be eligible. I will then pick a winner and post it on my blog. If you do not contact me in one week I will have to give the prize away to another lucky person.

It's that time again! Sneak Peek of whats to come!

It feels so good to be back! I have been gone from blogland for about 2 weeks and I am just starting to get back into the groove. I was volunteering about 12-16 hr days. It was exhausting but thank goodness I had someone I trusted watching the girls (she's a nurse!). Right before I left I got a new shipment of Peachy Keen Stamps in the mail. I was so excited but then I wanted to scream because I would be gone and not able to play. I only had a short bit of time to come up with my creation for the blog hop and I usually have a bunch to show you all but I just don't have the time this week. Especially because I just got my computer back yesterday...boy I missed this thing!

Anyways......... Here is a little snippet of what is to come.



Today is the last day of the sneak peeks and then tomorrow we start hopping. Peachy Keen is releasing the most adorable stamps. They are just to cute!! I wanted to play with them all and hopefully I will be able to soon. And what is even better is the PKS design teams have teamed up to Hop together and all who partcipate have oodles of chances along the way to win these great stamp sets!!!!! How cool is that!


I hope to see you all hopping along the PKS Blog Hop trail tomorrow! Wait to you SEE these stamp sets!!!!!!!!

Ribbon covered recycled project

Hello All!

When I was deciding what to make for the ribbon challenge this week over at
Practical Scrappers I just finished making some Crystal light..well actually the generic Walmart brand of it! I was holding the empty container in my hand and a light bulb went off. I went upstairs and found this huge roll of ribbon that I bought at Tuesday Mornings for $1.99. I didn't realize it but there was 25 yards in the spool and it was double sided. I was trying to use some of that up so I used mostly that and a few others to jazz it up a bit. I was gonna add some buttons or flowers but since it is in a heavy "traffic" area I didn't want anything bulky on it. I know this is simple but I just love how I took something I was going to throw away and made something out of it. What can you do with the ribbon in your stash? HHMMMM? stop and by and share with us!

A Peachy new Sketch!

Hello everyone! This week is a VERY VERY busy week for me and I barely have time to post this. I am volunteering all week and starting tomorrow I am there basically from sun up to sun down and then some! So excuse this brief post.

This week over at Peachy Keen Stamps we have a great sketch challenge...but wait there's a twist! You must follow the sketch (below) but you have to use kraft card stock some where in your project. For some reason when I saw this sketch I saw a layout. I think I am the only one but I am never normal!! My daughters birthday just past and she would of been 7 years old. It has been a hard week for me but I kept busy and kept her in my mind by doing projects with her as the subject. I just love how this layout came out.

I picked up some new Cosmo Cricket DP and even some Glimmer mist for this project. You really can't make out the Glimmer Mist but I sprayed it on the flowers. The DP has a garden like theme so I decided to stay with that theme for the layout. I used my PK-641 Princess Faces for the adorable Caterpillar and for the Butterfly I used PK-741 Baby Animal Faces (fits the New Arrival cartridge).

Here is the sketch:

And this is my take on it!

Hope you have time to play with us for this challenge! Remember you have two weeks to play along and get a chance to win some great prizes! And don't forget our great blog hop coming up...you won't want to miss it!

Buttons, Buttons, who has buttons??

Hello everyone! We have a super fun & easy challenge this week over at Practical Scrappers. We would love to see what you can come up with using BUTTONS!

I took a wooden frame that I bought for a $1 from Michael's. I covered it in paper from CTMH and adhered it with Mod Podge. I then sanded it down and covered it in buttons from my stash. Some of the buttons are from PaperTrey Ink and the othes I have had so long I have no idea where I got them from or who they are from. I was going to paint it or add some flowers but I liked how it turned out just like it is. I have it on my desk in my craft room so I can look at my little Angel Annie whenever I am thinking about her. Very simple project but fun to do!

My forever Star - for the Sisterhood

Good afternoon everyone. It's challenge time again over at The Sisterhood Crafters. This week the challenge we have for all of our participants is to make something handmade as a gift for someone. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is handmade. Now I don't know about you ladies but I tend to have all these grand ideas of all of these projects so I go out and buy all of the supplies I need. But in reality what happens is all of those supplies sit ontop of the other supplies I bought for previous projects that I never completed or even attempted.

Well with this challenge I was able to cross something off of my "Bucket List". My daughter's birthday is this week and she would of been 7 years old. It is so hard to believe and even hard to believe that she is not here to celebrate it with us. So in her memory I decided to complete this star project for my sister. Ever since the kids passed away she has been obsessed with anything with stars. I bought these metal stars ions ago to decorate one for my son and one for my daughte. I was going to give them to her so she can put them on her wall and see them when she is really missing them the most. The only problem is, that I fell in love with the project so much I just don't want to give it away.....She may have to wait even longer.

I just picked out 5 pieces of coordinating paper which happened to be from My Mind's Eye. I made a template for each point (and side) of the star. I then used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to the star. The tricky part with this smaller star is to find pictures that would work. I trimmed each picture using another piece of paper and a Martha Stewart punch. I trimmed out the star with some threaded yarn ribbon that I have had in my stash for almost 8 years now. In the center I added 3 buttons to hide where all of the thread met. I also added some buttons on the points of the star. OOHH by the way, the buttons are from PaperTrey Ink. Now this is where some of you may laugh at me. I couldn't find chipboard letters that would match so I remembered the Staz-On ink pad that I bought awhile ago but never used. WELL I am HOOKED! I want to run out and buy every color!!!! The chipboard letters were glossy and they Staz-On ink had no problem covering it with ease. I distressed the edges and DP with some brown Stampin Up! ink. What is not shown in the picture was the ribbon I am going to add to the top of the star so it will hang properly.

I hope you liked my submission for this week's challenge over at The Sisterhood Crafters. I am also submitting this to the following challenges:

FabnFunky Challenge photo inspiration. I took the colors from the photo.
Creative Belli B themed embellishments
The ABC Challenge D is for Distressing
The Wild Flower Patch Use stripes
Ooh-La-La Creations Stripes
PaperPlay Time Variety
Craft Your Days Away Glittery & girly
Southern Girls Challenge Anything goes
Paper Sundaes Three embellishments

Stuck on U Sketch challenge!

I am happy that I finally got to do a challenge. The minute I saw this sketch over at StuckOnUSKetches I just fell in love with it!! I wanted to try to get two done with this sketch but that didn't happen. I actually have had this LO done for over a week and I totally forgot to post it!!

White core card stock challenge

Happy Friday everyone! This week over at Practical Scrappers we have an awesome challenge for you. Break out your white core or colored core cardstock and see what you can whip up. I sat down at my desk and was contemplating what I was going to make. I challenged myself to make a card with whatever I could find on my desk. Good thing I am not a neat scrapper!! I had all these things left over from previous projects. I found the piece of brown CTMH card stock and scored it on my Scor-Pal, then sanded it lightly to bring out the white core. Really simple and quick but it used up more of my scraps and that makes me happy. Well I am off to create!! Hope you join us this week!!!!!

Peachy Keen Color & Sketch Combo

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all had a nice, relaxing holiday weekend. It is time for a new Peachy Keen Stamps challenge! This week there was a sketch & color challenge. I was a bit skeptical about the colors to be honest. But then I thought hey that's why they call it a challenge right?? And you know every time I think I can't do that or use those colors I am very surprised at the outcome and how cute it was. I did a LO of one of my twins during bath time. I put her name on the tub so there would be no question on which one it was!

Here are the colors & sketch we had to use:

Here is my take on it:

Supplies used:

Vellum stickers for the bubbles
Rhinestone accents
Ribbon
New Arrival cartridge
Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge
K&Company melon frame
PK-741 Baby Animal Faces This stamp set is great. All the faces are made to go with the New Arrival cartridge. The faces that cut out are less than desirable in my mind so I am very happy to own this set!

White Pen Challenge over at Practical Scrappers

This week over at Practical Scrappers we have a super fun and easy challenge to use a white pen on your project. There are soooooo many different ways to use a white pen. I personally have 4 of them because I can not be without them! I used the pen on her eyes, teeth, outfit and to add faux stitching around the border.

I used Sailor Honey from Sassy Studios. I just love her stamps. I have one in the works for my brother..right up his alley! I can not draw so I love when artists like this do all the work for me!! I used my Copics (still learning) and my Prismacolor pencils to color this image.

I hope you stop on by and play along with us this week!!

Let's get ready to HOP!

I am so excited that the day has finally come!!! Peachy Keens new stamp sets are officially released and I can share them with you!!! We are celebrating with a super fun blog hop filled with lots of prizes. If you came here from Samantha's blog than you are right on track. At the bottom of this post you will see the stamp set that I am giving away along with the blog hop order in case you just came here without doing the hop. This is a long post filled with lots of pictures but since I am giving away a prize I didn't want to confuse anybody which post to leave the comment on.


For this Halloween treat bag I used PK-630 Nikkity Knack Cat Gang. These ghosts are just to cute! For the bag I used my Once Upon A Princess cartridge. I decided after I cut it out I didn't want to use the holes so I covered it up with ribbon


For this purple treat bag I used PK-631 Halloween Minis (hat) and PK-630 Nikkity Knack Cat & Gang for the spider. On the background I used PK-624 Halloween Background One.

For some reason when I saw this cat I wanted to do pink and black. I colored the eyes green with my Copics but it doesn't show up well in the photo. I embossed the image with Versamarker and black embossing powder. Stamp sets I used on this card are:
PK-630 Nikkity Knack Cat Gang &
PK-101 Medium Polka Dots


I also cut this bag out with my Once Upon a Princess cartridge. I just had fun with this one!

Supplies used:
Nestibilities
Cuttlebug embossing folder
PK-631 Halloween Minis (sentiment)
PK-630 Kikkity Knack (bat)
PK-632 Halloween Sweet Folks
PK-615 Halloween Candlestick Delight (spiderweb and spider)
MS Grass punch & Iron gate punch



I found a piece of scrap paper in my bin or shall I say Scrap Heap and simply just folded it in half and worked with whatever I had. Actually all the project I am showing here today are made with SCRAPS! YIPPPEEE..
The apple is also from PK-632 Sweet Folks. After stamping & coloring it, I covered it in Liquid Glass from Close to My Heart.

Now don't forget to visit each of the blogs along the way..Lots of fun prizes to be won...not to mention some wonderful EYE CANDY with all these great creations!!! I will also be giving away PK-632 Sweet Folks (pictured below) to one lucky winner. Just leave a comment on this post and I will randomly pick a winner to win the adorable PK-632 Halloween Folk stamp set.

Stitching Challenge over at Practical Scrappers

I know what you are thinking....a Christmas card in August??? Well I am always so far behind I figured why not and get ahead of the game. I actually was just glancing thru my Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge and came across this image. I have been trying to use my Design Studio more so I just started playing around. I welded the two shapes into a card. I then used two different snowflakes and inked them up with Stampin Up! ink. For dimension I added some pop dots to the second layer of the snowflake. The challenge this week over at Practical Scrappers is to use Stitching on your project. So I added stitching on the inner layer of the card with my sewing machine and then used my white gel pen to go around the scalloped edge and add faux stitching. I started to add ribbon to it but honestly it looked better plain and simple like it is so I left it. Now that I got some Christmas cards done...hhhmmm maybe I should work on actually getting them sent out!! HA

Try this challenge for a $30 Prize!

Hello Everyone!

This is going to be a brief post because I just had some family leave and a new batch is coming. I have to clean up from wave #1 to get ready for wave #2!

This week over at Peachy Keen Stamps we have a great challenge. I gotta admit I had something totally in mind when I saw the sketch part of the challenge but I had to scrap it when I saw the color challenge. I kinda froze when I saw the colors because those are not colors I normally use so I was a bit worried. But afterall a challenge is a challenge right??? LOL! Well I had fun doing it. I am just starting to practice with my Copics and need to get the right ink/paper to prevent it from bleeding so you will have to excuse that in the card (bleeding of colors). Challenge #35 over at Peachy Keen Stamps is a sketch AND a color challenge. The prize is a $30 gift certificate to the PKS store..How cool is that????????? I wish I could enter!! Kathy is always coming up with new and fun images and I just want them ALL!!

Here is the challenge this week:





And this is what I came up with...



I wanted to add some more to the card but I had family come up for a visit then throw in some horrendous thunderstorms and I just ran out of time. I do love this image from PKS..She is sooooooo cute! I used Peachy Keen Stamps PK-780 Lulee's Swim Time. I colored her with my Copics then accented her with some stickles and my white Gelly pen.

Why don't you come on over and take the challenge with us??? If not, you gotta stop on by to see what my other DT friends came up with, they are FANTASTIC!! But that doesn't surprise me!

Practical Scrappers Summer themed challenge

Hello All! It is sad to say that it has taken me this long to start scrapbooking my husband and me. These pictures were taken on our honeymoon almost 10 years ago..this was also the last time I wore a bathing suit..sigh... I had so many pictures to try to fit in here that this was my only option. I am working on an adjoining page to this layout where I kept my favorite pictures bigger.

I completed this layout for the challenge this week over at Practical Scrappers. We had to use summer themed products on our projects. I am now on a mission to start doing more pages for "our" book. It is important not only to remember where we started and our journey together but it will be something for our children to cherish. One down...a gazillion more to go!

Celebrating Back to School Sistah style!

Hello Everyone!!! This is alot of parents favorite season to celebrate...Back to School time! Now I know there are some that will sit home and sob for the first few days....I know I will!

Over at The Sisterhood Crafters we are celebrating the Back to School season. We are asking you all to make any project that has to do with the Back to School theme. I did a two page layout of my son Michael getting ready for his Early Intervention class. He had a speech delay so he would attend these classes two-three times a week. Unfortunately he didn't get past that onto regular school. But even for this my husband took off and we both cried..we were so proud of him. The picture of the back of my husband and son for some reason gets me everytime. I don't know why but that picture just makes me cry...it's one of my favorites. After his initial hesitation he LOVED going to IU20 (his school).

Here is what I came up with. I wanted to keep it simple. I also wanted to use up these stickers that I have had forever from Creative Memories.

More Fun Challenges over at Practical Scrappers

Bling, Bling, & more bling! Here is my entry for the Practical Scrappers Online Crop party Bling It On - Challenge #8. For this challenge you need to use at least three different types of bling (Bling is anything that has a shine to it). I used metal charms, brads, beads, glitter, embossing powders, shiny embellishments...let's just say this LO has lots of BLING going on!

Next we have my entry for the Color Me - Challenge #1. We had to make a project with the color YELLOW being the dominant color.

Practical Scrappers Online Crop Party!

Whoo HOOO! Some more online fun with Practical Scrappers!! As I mentioned Practical Scrappers is celebrating their one year anniversary this week. On our message board (which you can get to by clicking on the Practical Scrappers badge on my sidebar, then on the MESSAGE BOARD badge on the left side of the page)we have loads of fun going on. There are some sketch challenges, color challenges and lots of fun themed challenges. I started today on some and I am having a blast.

For the Sketch Challenge #7 I came up with this layout for my friends album. I didn't do any journaling because I left that for her. I used paper from My Mind's Eye and embellishments from K & Company.



Next we have Seed Spittin' Challenge #3 where we had to do something with watermelons or the color of watermelons. Here is a quick and simple layout for that challenge:



Last but not least Clowning Around Challenge #2 I made a scrapbook page border, tag and mat to be put on a LO in the future. I made this one completely out of scraps!! Now that makes me happy!!



I am off to complete some more Cropping fun!! I know I am not going in order but I am never normal!! Come along and join us...lots of fun prizes along the way!

Happy 1st Anniversary Practical Scrappers!!!

Happy Anniversary Practical Scrappers!! PS is one year old today (in blog years) and they are celebrating all week long with different challenges everyday with the number "1" in mind.

Today over at Practical Scrappers we were challenged to make a project using the "First" of something. I choose to do a layout of my son's first haircut. My dad cut my son's hair and he was NOT happy. It was going good until my dad sprayed him with the water. I normally hate to journal on my pages because my handwriting is so bad but I am changing that. And I am glad I did on this one because I would of forgotten what made him cry! I tried to use a paper pad that I had bought years ago by Paper Pizazz. It is part of my new movement to start using stuff I have!!!!!!

Celebrating the Month at the Sisterhood!

Good afternoon everyone!! This post was suppossed to go up yesterday but we had some bad weather and I had to shut down the computer. I didn't realize until now that it never launced so here it is!

Come celebrate the month of August with us over at The Sisterhood Crafters. This week we are challenging you to use these colors:



I am just starting to get my mojo back since I haven't been crafting for a couple of weeks. I wanted to make a simple card and since I am always soooooo behind I thought I would do a snail...kinda like sorry it took me so long card!

This is what I came up with:



I cut out the snail on my Cricut using the Create A Critter cartridge. I stamped her little face with my Peachy Keen Critter Faces medium stamp set. I embossed the plain white card with my herringbone Cuttlebug folder. Very simple but cute!

Stop on by and come take the The Sisterhood Crafters. You will love all the great samples by our DT and we would love to see what you came up with!

I'm back...(hopefully!) with Peachy Keen challenge #34

Hello Everyone! I am so sorry that I have not been posting and just kinda left everyone hanging. My littlest twin has been sick with 103 fever among other things so I have been a complete wreck. Considering what I have been thru in the past I have been in melt down status. She is finally coming around and feeling better but now I am dealing with teething times two and very little sleep!

I haven't been in my craft room for weeks and I am very far behind. I apologize for leaving several commenters/prize winners hanging but today is my first day back in the craft room and I am trying to play catch up so please bare with me.

During the Peachy Keen blog hop we released the new awesome Cottage Cutz dies by
The Scrapping Cottage and Peachy Keen Stamps. I had people leave comments and give me ideas what to make with the new dies. Well I randomly picked comments and created a few projects with them and it was fun. Well this week over at Peachy Keen Stamps there is a sketch challenge. I randomly picked this comment and tried my best to incorporate it into the sketch. I gotta say it was a hard one to try to put together but I somehow managed it.

This is the comment I picked:

**Treefrog** said...
Oh Lisa, all your designs are just too cute, love those yummy little gingerbread men and love the tags. Also love the penguins and the igloo, what a great idea for a card. I just love all of these dies but my all time fave is the froggie, I guess you can guess why. LOL Since I collect froggies, (have for most of my life, LOL) and we have Cows could you do something with the two of them. We have a small farm so you could throw in the flowers also since we have alot of wildflowers around here too, Hee Hee. Sorry to hear of your health issues and hope your feeling better soon. Take Care, Thanks and good luck to all!
Froggie ((Hugs)) Theresa

I laughed because I love frogs also. When my daughter Gianna was born she had these big ol' eyeballs for such a tiny little thing that she was. So ever since then she had the nick name of Froggie and has everything froggie. As she grew older she grew into her eyes but the nick name stuck.

This is what I came up with for this weeks challenge:

Congratulations TREEFROG!!! Since I picked your comment and tried to do something with your suggestion I am giving you a prize filled with Scrapping goodies. Please contact me with your mailing information so I can get it out to you. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a challeging request!! Hope you like it!
