U+ ME = ♥

Hello, hello!

Over at Joy's Life Design Team blog we are sharing Joyful Hearts projects and since I don't have that stamp set, I decided to literally make joyful hearts :-) 

The sentiment I chose is adorable! I actually have some Project Life tags planned using it.

The sentiment is from Sweet Popsicle Puns stamp set. 

Here's a close up. :-) You can get yours HERE! 

 I hope you can see some dimension in the picture below. I added foam tape to the sentiment mat and hearts. 

The sentiment mat is from Twinkle Toes cartridge.

The two hearts are from Simply Charmed cartridge. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a fun, crafty day!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer - I only want the candy

Hello everyone!

Today is a bittersweet day for me because it's my very last day as a Peachy Keen Guest Designer. I've really enjoyed my time as a guest designer and the Peachy Team has been wonderful and not to mention very welcoming. 

For my last project I decided to alter a candy holder. I was waiting in line to pay at Michael's and then I spotted this candy tube. I knew right away it needed some peachy goodness! 

I think I would have had to add over hundred hearts to include all the faces I wanted to include lol 

The hearts and the scalloped heart shadows are from the Doodlecharms cartridge. 

The banner that the sentiment is on is from the Stand and Salute cartridge. 

The sentiment is from the Frankly... stamp set. Who would have thought right? :-) 

This fun face is from the Happy Lashes assortment. 

 This cute face is from the Funshine Face assortment. 

 This bubbly face is from the Happy New Year face assortment. 

 I paper pieced my heart out with Vivienne from the Vivienne and Friends stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a fun, crafty day!

Happy Birthday Gift Card Holder

Hello everyone! TGIF right!?! 

My husband went to Florida this week for work and is arriving today! Woo hoo!!

Anyway, today also happens to be my dad's birthday and since I've been manning everything at home this week I didn't have time to do some birthday shopping for him so I took a short drive to Michael's ... yes Michaels lol and bought a gift card. I took care of the rest with My Creative Time's Embossed Gift Card Holder die.  

The sentiment Happy Birthday is from MCT's Gift Card Sentiments stamp set. 

I didn't do anything to the inside because I thought the paper was nice and I didn't want to overdo it with embellishments. The paper I used is from Echo Park's 12x12 Hello Summer Kit. 

The twine is Blue Berry from Trendy Twine.

The circle sentiment and cupcake are from My Creative Time's All Around Birthday Time stamp set. I used the stiched circle and scallop die also from My Creative Time. 

 Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a fun, crafty day!

Project Life tags and a card :-)

Happy Thursday everyone!

This week we are showcasing winter themed projects over at Joy's Life Design Team blog. With Valentine's Day coming up, it seems we have forgotten all about Winter! Not this girl ;-) 

I decided to make a few Project Life cards to swap and a card for the hostess using Joy's Wintery Puns stamp set. 

 I ♥ this set to pieces! 

It has so many sentiments you can use throughout the year, not just Winter. 

The heart is from the Graphically Speaking cartridge. 

You can see here how beautifully these stamps stamp. 

Here's a card I made for the hostess of the swap. 

 The sentiment is also from the Wintery Puns stamp set!

All the pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye. 

 Here's a close up of the sentiment.
I've been practicing my bow makin' skills hehe

Peachy Keen - Guest Designer - Happy Valentine's Day

Hello Peachy Friends!

I'm back with another post for the Peachy Keen blog and all I can say is where has the time gone?! This month is almost over! =( 

Anyway, I have bear fever! LOL I made two similar cards simply because I could not decide which products to use, I love all the peachy faces! 

The bears are from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge and are cut at 3 inches. 

The sweet sentiment is from Peachy Keen's Cupid's Sting stamp set. 

I really, really wanted to use both of these Peachy faces for the bears so I went ahead and made two cards, problem solved! The face on this bear is from Critter Faces Set A Large. 

I popped this little cutie on some foam tape for added dimension. 

The face on this bear is my absolute favorite bear face! It's from an oldie, but goodie assortment, Rag Doll and Teddy Bear Face Assortment. Unfortunately this set is retired so if you have it, pull it out and use it! 

The black crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam - Tuxedo. 

The doilies are from Target. 

 I also added this cutie on some foam tape for added dimension. 

I'm not sure if were able to notice, but the background is stamped as well. I heat embossed the X's and O's background stamp and stamped with UTEE. This picture shows the background stamped a bit better. 

Have a fun, crafty day!
