PKS Challenge 47 :: Happy Birthday Kathy Sketch
Hello Bloggy Friends,
Wow, I just feel like I can't catch up on anything, my life has been nuts lately. I had this card done on Sunday and I am just getting around to posting it. I only have three days left of work and then three days off, yahoo!! Monday was so hectic for me at work, I shipped over 400 packages for my customers at the local UPS Store that I manage, who knows maybe one is coming to you :) It has finally somewhat slowed down if you call 200 packages a day slow lol well its slow to me, I guess I have come a custom to it there since I am going on almost 8 years of employment there !! Anyways on with fun stuff now!!
This card I made in honor of Kathy over at Peachy Keen Stamps she is celebrated her Birthday this past weekend !! Here is the card I came up with for this challenge ....
I used my Peachy Keen December SOMK for this card, I just love how it turned out!! The ribbon I hand dyed myself and then added a button and some twine from my stash. The paper is by American Crafts, from a 6x6 paper pack that I got from target this past weekend. I used my Spectrum Noirs to color in the candles and I used the SVG Files to cut them out using my new Silhouette !! I also decided to add some orange crush glitter to the two outer candles. I hope you all enjoy this project and make sure to stop by Peachy Keen , to wish Kathy a Happy Birthday !!
Happy Scrappin'

This weeks Challenge is "Make A Shape Card" it can be any type of shape card, I made a Christmas card but you don't have to, it's not Christmas themed. Here is what I came up with....
I think this might possibly be one of my last Christmas cards that I will be posting, I am getting a little burnt out on them !! I may do a few more, if I decide to enter some challenges that I may run across.
For this card I used my "Winter Frolic" cricut cartridge and my gypsy to weld two Santa's together to make my card. My Santa along with all of his layers was cut at 6". My sentiment is from the Peachy Keen, November SOMK.
I embossed all the red portions of my Santa and added some white coarse glitter to his hat and trim on his coat. I Hope you all enjoy my card, and I hope you will all find time to join in on the challenge this week !!!
Thanks & Happy Scrappin'

Create A Banner: The Cuttlebug Spot
Hello Bloggy Friends,
I just want to start off and say, where has December gone !? I Feel like I have been slacking on posting to my blog . I have only been posting 1 to 2 things a week usually I post way more than that. I guess I kinda have an excuse, I manage my local UPS Store and have for the past 7 years and this time a year is a bit hectic for me. I have been working 10 hour shifts, opposite of my husband. I come home after working all day and take care of our soon to be 18 month old little boy ( joy of my life)!!! These days and weeks can sometimes drag on and on, so I am excited when I get some me time ,which obviously involves craft time.
Speaking of craft time, it's Tuesday so that means we have a new challenge for you over at The Cuttlebug Spot !! This weeks challenge is to "Create a Banner", it can be an actual banner for home decor or it can be on a layout or card. Obviously if you know me you know I made a card :) Here is what I came up with.

Isn't she just adorable !! I made a standard A2 size card but my image hangs off the top as you can see. My image is a digital stamp that I purchased from Wee Stamps and then colored using my Spectrum Noir markers. I cut my banner using two different sizes of round circle punches and layered them with twine in between, I also popped them with some 3D foam squares. The word NOEL are just some black stickers that I had. Paper used were left over scraps I had in my scrap bin, don't you just love when you can use up your scraps !?
I hope you all enjoy my card and I hope that you can join in on are fun challenge!! This weeks sponsor is Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits !!
Boys Rule Scrapbooks kits is a monthly
scrapbook kit club for those of us who love to paper craft boy subjects.
Care and consideration is key as each kit is assembled for the

Guess What ?!?!
Hello Bloggy Friends,
I don't have a card to show you today, well as of right now I don't. I am hoping to get into my craft room tonight!! Instead,I am here to tell you that I am so super excited, my husband came home from work last night and told my to go online and pick out any Silhouette Cameo bundle that I wanted, that, that was going to be my Christmas present. I never thought I would want anything other than Cricut's, I guess I was wrong!! I have been watching many videos on what the silhouette can do and it is simply amazing. I also have been seeing many, many great projects made with the silhouette. Two of my favorite designers use this machine quite frequently on their projects, your can find their great creations at....Karen @ Little Scrap Pieces & Tanya @ Nonna's Craft Corner make sure to check out these ladies blogs, their creations are always so adorable and so inspiring, hence that's why I am getting a silhouette :) I should get my goodies sometime next week, so stay tuned to see what projects I will come up with!!

Hello Bloggy Friends,
It's Tuesday and that means it's time for another challenge over at The Cuttlebug Spot. This weeks challenge is to create a project based on one of the four seasons (winter,spring,summer or fall). I hope you will all have time to join us in this weeks challenge. Here is what I came up with...

As you can see by my card I used winter as my season of inspiration. My adorable image is a Digi stamp from WeeStamps. I printed her out in grayscale on my computer cause I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color her in. I used Spellbinders "Standard Circle Large" to cut out around her. I also cut a second circle and cut it in half and embossed it with my snowflake embossing folder ,then I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink. I added some sparkly white glitter to the fur trim on her coat and on the ground for the snow.
My card base is your stand A2 size card. I cut the flowers from "The Flower Shop" cricut cartridge and quilled them and added some prima green flowers behind them for the petals. I cut these some time ago so I don't remember the size that they were cut at.
I hope this card gives you some inspiration and I can't wait to see what everyone creates!! So stop on by and enter the challenge and join in on the fun.
Thanks & Happy Scrappin'

This weeks challenge is " Make a project using Snowman or Snowflakes". Here is what I cam up with....
My card is a standard A2 size card. I used one of my favorite cricut cartridges to make this card "Create a Critter 2", my snowman is cut from page 68 in the handbook. I used my gypsy so I could use the hide option cause I knew I wanted to use some Peachy Keen stamps for the face (PK-487 In Stitches 1 1/8"). My snowman was cut at 3.5" and my sentiment is from (My Pink Stamper). I also cover my snowman with coarse glitter, and let me tell you he sure does sparkle, he is also on an action wobble.
I hope you all will be able to join us this week, we always have fabulous prizes to give away to the winner along with the top 5 as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you all enjoy.

See I told you it was adorable!! I used my November stamp kit from Peachy Keen Stamps for the elf and the sentiment. I used my Spectrum Noirs to color in my cute little elf and then added some glitter to his hat and lolly pop. I also added some glossy essentials to the lolly pop as well but just on the red portion.
I used my Gypsy to weld to of the snowy mountains together to make the base of my card, my base measures at 6.75" along with all its layers. The image was cut from the "Winter Frolic" cricut cartridge. I decided to emboss one of the layers, I cut the other one in a lite blue snowflake patterned piece of scrap paper. I inked my trees up with some "Shabby Shutters"Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. If you have any further questions about my card feel free to ask.
