Peachy Keen Guest Design Week Day 3

So hard to believe that the week is half over!!! Time is flying by so fast, but what fun it has been! Today is Day 3 of my week guest designing for the Peachy Keen Blog - and I have been loving every second of it!

Today, I decided first of all to challenge myself with a boy project - I have 2 darling girls that I adore, age 8 and 7, so doing the princess thing is easy! Boys, that is another story! So I pulled out what I think is my all time FAVORITE Peachy Keen face assortment (Wide Eyed Kid Faces) and my Cricut Boys Will be Boys cartridge. If you don't have this set of faces, I would highly suggest it! I think I have used it more than any other set. (And...Peachy Keen is having a great sale too...just in case you wanted to know!)

Anyway, here is my project for today:

I cut this cute little guy out, added some inking with some Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen and lots of faux stitching. Then...I couldn't resist putting him on an Action Wobble! (If any of you are wondering, Peachy Keen usually has these in stock. However, from looking at the Action Wobble Facebook page, it looks like they are having a production snag that they are trying to work out on their end, and then they will be shipping them to retailers - hopefully in time for the holidays. So...hopefully Peachy Keen will soon have them back in stock - or someone else will have them if not!) Anyway, these next couple of pictures show the action a little bit for you to see:

Isn't that FUN?!?!?! I love using Action Wobbles on projects, and definately plan on stocking up when they are back in supply again! Finished this one off with some Baker's Twine, a sentiment from My Creative Time stamps, and a bit of doodling around the edges of the card.

Here is the face set that I used on my project today:

Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment - $25.00

And...just a reminder of the giveaway this week!!! Peachy Keen allowed me to select a giveaway for the week! So on Saturday morning I will be picking a lucky commenter from either here or the Peachy Keen blog via Random.org and giving away a $25 Gift Certificate!!! If I had picked a set to give away, it probably would have been the set I used today - but if you already have this set, or your heart is set on something else, you can pick whatever YOU would like!!!

So make sure and leave a comment here, and pop over to the Peachy Keen blog and leave a comment there as well for a second chance to win!!!

And, just for fun, here are a few of my favorite projects using this same set - I love this set so much that it was hard to pick just a few, so the list got kind of long! Sorry 'bout that! Just click on the link under them if you want any more info on anything and it will take you to the original post.

Thanks again for visiting today!!! See you tomorrow!

World Cardmaking Day - Birthday Card Challenge

This is the only card that I actually got accomplished on Saturday for World Cardmaking Day! We were so busy with my daughters birthday party, but then I remembered that we were celebrating my nephews birthday on Sunday! So I was more than happy to sit down and play! And...I can also enter this into the Birthday Card Challenge over at Inking it Up!!!

I used Boys Will be Boys for the robot and background cut, and added some doodling with a black pen.

And...put him on an action wobble!!! Isn't it just so much fun?!?!?!

See him wobble?!?!?

Added the top part of the sentiment from a Pink by Design stamp set, and the bottom part from a Scrappy Mom set!

Thanks for stopping in! Hard to believe it is Monday already...ugh. My hubby is working really long hours right now - 13 and 14 hour days, 6 days a week. So Sundays are his only day off, at least hopefully he continues to get them off! So, we really enjoyed our time together as a family yesterday! And now we take a deep breath and try to get through another week! Should only be for a month and a half or so though, so we will make it! I might be doing LOTS of crafting to pass the time!!!



Another Gallery Idol Congratulations Card

I just couldn't resist doing another card for the Gallery Idol contest. There are now over 800 entries, so I'm not holding my breath, but it is still fun to join in!

The other day I purchased some felt from Michael's, thinking it would be fun to try it out on some cards. I started playing with it, and cut out some banners. The colors ended up going together just right with some paper I had picked up last week as well - brand new from Basic Grey - isn't it adorable!?!?!? I did some machine stitching around the edges of the card, and to attach the banners, cut the words out using my Cricut and Boys Will Be Boys cartridge, and added some Glossy Accents to them.
