Gnomeo and Juliet

I had to do it!!
Yup, I had to make a Gnomeo and Juliet! This looks like it's going to be the cutest movie!! I used my brand new Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment! They look perfect on these little gnomes. I created the gnomes using Paper Doll Dress Up, Everyday Paperdolls and George and Basic Shapes. I used my Gypsy to layer and weld the shapes together!! Hope you like!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #9

Good Morning Everyone!!!
It's time for another PKS Faces Challenge!! And OH are you going to love this challenge! It's perfect for the upcoming holiday... St. Valentines Day!! Not only that you are going to flip over the give-away...so start creating...hee hee!!

Well, when I began this challenge I knew that I wanted to make one Valentine mailbox for my nephew and one for my niece. I knew that I had to create one about Harry Potter for my nephew. He has become a Harry fanatic...certainly not influenced by me at all... :D I also knew that I wanted to make my niece a ballerina mailbox all pink and frilly! Here's what I came up with....












Now, Here's the challenge:

Create an altered container using Peachy Keen Stamps faces to store Valentines or cards you receive throughout the year. Our Design Team used mini-mailboxes from the One Spot at Target (these are the cutest things, thanks Kathy!), but feel free to spruce up any container you might have around the house!

-Design must be new
-Project must include Peachy Keen Faces
-Link to Mr. Linky before February 17th

*Giveaway*
We'll choose one random winner from all entries to win "Just Because Cards" Cricut Cartridge!

It's time for the Peachy Keen Blog Hop!!!

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am so very excited about this Valentines Day/St. Patrick's Day Peachy Keen Stamps Blog Hop and I hope you are excited to be here too!! Kathy has created some simply AmAzInG stamps for this release! You are in for a real treat! I can't say enough about these face stamps!!

The set I'm featuring is called PK-642 Boy Mates and it is a companion set to PK-640 Princess Faces! This set is perfect for so many Cricut cartridges, for example; B is for Boy, Simply Charmed, both Paper Doll carts, Twinkle Toes and Playmates (if you're lucky enough to have that one!) and more. I've used a variety of cartridges to make my creations for this blog hop.

I hope you enjoy....




I made a card for my dad to give to my mom! I hope she likes it!


I used a Creative Imaginations wooden door hanger to make this for my door for Valentine's Day!! I cut the flowers from Sugar and Spice. The "I Love You" is from Paper Pups. I think these little PKS faces look perfect on these flowers, so whimsical and sweet! I also had to add a photo of the darling little ribbon I found to tie onto the door hanger. I thought it went along with the flowers as if it was custom made. :)



I just purchased Meow cartridge and when I saw these PK-757 Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Faces, I had to use them! I cannot stop using these stamps!!



Now for the Give-Away!!
I'm so excited to be giving away PK-642 Boy Mates Face Assortment!! All you have to do is become a follower of my blog and leave me one comment on this post. That's it! I'll choose a random winner by Monday morning!! Good Luck! Also, each DT member is giving away a stamp set.

Now, off to the other PKS DT Gals blogs. Your next stop will be
Janice!!

Here's a list to help you along the way!!

Twilight Card info.

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to give a few details on how I made the "Twilight" inspired card that I posted today.

The apple is from A Child's Year.
The ribbon is from Joys of the Season. It's the 5 Golden Rings, minus the rings.
The tulip was cut from 50 States. It's Vermont's flower from page 57. I cut it three times. Once in green, once in red and once in white. Then I cut each flower apart and layered them up to look like the tulip on the book.
The chess piece was created in Design Studio. I used Happily Ever After for the crown part of the piece. Then I used George and Basic Shapes to create the rest of the chess piece and welded it all together.

I did save the file in Design Studio. If any one would like me to email it to them, just send me a quick email and I'd be happy too!!

Thanks for asking about the directions, Cindy!!
