BBTB Storybook Bird Challenge

I love these new challenges over at BBTB!! Here's mine for this week. It was fun and I got to use my new Recollections 8x8 paper pack and my Distress Stickles (antique linen)!! In addition to the Cricut Storybook bird, I used the pumpkins from Doodlecharms. I stretched them in DS. I hand wrote the greeting!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #15

I created this card for the PKSC #15 using my Peachy Keen Monsters and More stamps. I love those stamps!!
I found a 8x8 Recollections Autumn card stock paper pack at Michaels after Halloween for only $4.99!! I love it the pp is so thick and beautiful!! The patterns are gorgeous! Squirrels, pie, leaves, pumpkins and crows, wood grain and they are double sided!


BBTB JOTS Penguin Challenge

I've never tried a Bitten By the Bug challenge before but I've been wanting to use this sweet little penguin and this challenge inspired me! I used my Cricut Design Studio to weld the two snow globes (from Christmas Cheer) together along with a tilted scalloped tag. Then I layered the snow globe using a little dry embossing. And lastly, I placed the three penguins in the snow globe.


I wanted to show the inside of the card because you can really see how I welded the two snow globes together. (remember to flip the left image so the card will line up perfectly!!)

Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween Challenge

I love this challenge. Here is my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween Challenge. I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the face of my ghost. I used my Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for the ghost, bat pumpkins and haunted house.


Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #14

I made this card for my sis. She asked me for a card that showed my nephew and niece dressed in their Halloween costumes. Colin was a skeleton and Catherine was Sleeping Beauty. I am posting it for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #14 even though I forgot to include a piece of ribbon...whoops :)

Shape Halloween Cards

Now that I have Design Studio, I am able to make shape cards. It is so cool because you can make a card out of almost any shape. Here are a few I made for Halloween.

CPS 137

Here is my take on challenge #137 over at
Card Positioning Systems blog. It was a card sketch, I love these!! I used my Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces stamps for the candy corn. :)

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #13

I needed to take a small break from packing last night and so I made a couple of cards. The first one is for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #13. The rules were to use blue, purple, 3 snowflakes and a stamped image. Here is mine.

“Challenge Blog Owner” Blog Hop!

This week on the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog they are participating in a Blog Hop. Ive never done one before but it sounds like a lot of fun!!
This next layout that I'm posting meets the criteria for a few of the "hops"!!

Practical Scrappers use a die cut, my die cut is the puppy in the tub (Cricut's Paper Pups)

Just Buggin' use a die cut and alter it. My die cut was inked and I used stickels on all the bubbles.

Creative Twist how much more "down and dirty" can you get than washing a stinky pup??!!



for my first blog hop this is fun, I'm going to hit a few more blogs on the "hop"
