Happy Halloween!!!

Hey everyone!! Happy Halloween!! :) Yesterday we had my kids' class parties (since they go to school Monday/Wednesdays) and I took this fun little cupcake scene to the Kindergarten Party as a table display! 

I used a fun graveyard scene from SVG Cutting files to make my base, trees, tombstones, etc. and then used some fun stickers from Pebbles' Thirty-One Collection to add fun details and make cupcake toppers!

Here is how the display looked before I added the cupcakes...

The toppers were super easy to make - I just stuck the stickers to black cardstock, stitched around them using a white pen then cut them out and glued them onto a toothpick. 

The kids LOVED how this turned out!! And I had fun making it - win-win!! :) 

Here is a list of everything I used to make my scene....

- THIRTY-ONE CARDSTOCK Phrase and Accent STICKERS

- THIRTY-ONE CARDSTOCK Chalkboard Label STICKERS

- THIRTY-ONE witches brew cardstock

- Cupcake Graveyard from SVG Cutting Files

- Too Cute To Spook Stamps from Jaded Blossom

Have a great day trick-or-treating with all the little witches and goblins!! We have a house FULL of princesses this year! Are you surprised?! ;) 

Birthday Calories Don't Count!

Hey everyone!! It's my day to post over at the Trendy Twine blog!! Make sure to head on over there to check out my project! 

Meet you over there! :)

Happy Birthday Shaker Card!

Hi crafty friends!!  Today is my last post of the month as the guest designer. I have loved sharing my projects using some of my favorite Peachy Keen stamps!! 

Today I am sharing a super fun shaker card using a face stamp from another one of my favorite face assortments - the Princess Face Assortment! My set has been well loved! :) 

I used numerous layers of my 'frame' and glued them all together before I added my star glitter. Then I added a layer of acetate and a final 'frame' layer. 

A clear 'Happy Birthday' sentiment sticker from EAD Designs worked perfectly over the acetate. 

Here is what I used to make my project...

- Peachy Keen Princess Face Assortment stamps

- EAD Designs sentiment sticker

- Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Make a Wish Cutting Files set

- Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Layered Labels 2 Cutting Files

- digital paper from Design by Dani

- Martha Stewart glitter

- Clear acetate

I hope you were inspired by my projects this month!!! Thank you to Peachy Keen for the opportunity!!!! 

Happy Halloween Treat Bags!

Hi everyone! Halloween is SOOOO close I can taste it!! If only I was ready for it! :) Haven't quite got the kids' costumes figured out... but at least I have the treats finished!! That's the important part, right?! :) 

It is my day to post over at the Jaded Blossom Blog today!! I made these fun little treat bags for my daughter's playschool class...

Since I had to make so many of these, I didn't add a whole lot of detail to them. It makes me want to cry when I see the kids tear them apart without so much as a glance at my fax stitching... :) 

My daughter, on the other hand, can appreciate all my details.... So hers is a bit prettier. ;) 

I used an adorable little witch file that my daughter picked out from the SVG Cutting Files store and a sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Best Witches stamp set. 

I choose a cute, simple treat topper from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons store and added some washi tape (from Trendy Twine), my witch and sentiment. 

I hope you all have an awesome Halloween!!!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Baking Up Some Love - Peachy Keen

Hello!! Today I'm a guest designer over at Peachy Keen!!!! Love Peachy Keen!!! 

Today I have the cutest layout to share with you, using some photos I took of my baby when she turned six months old. 

I cannot resist putting cute little Peachy Keen faces on food!! 

I used two of my very favorite face stamps for my cupcakes, the Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment and the In the Garden Face Assortment. I always stamp my faces using StazOn ink, color them in with gelly roll pens and then add some rosy cheeks using chalk. 

I also used the Lucy's ABCs and 123s stamp set to make a fun little banner on the bottom. I stamped my numbers and letters using Versamark (which I find works best for embossing) and white embossing powder. 

Here are the all the supplies I used to make my layout...

- Peachy Keen Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment Stamp Set

- Peachy Keen In the Garden Face Assortment Stamp Set
- Peachy Keen Lucy's ABCs and 123s SOLIDS stamps
- Baking Up Some Love Cutting files from Miss Kate Cuttables
- Pebbles Washi Tape
- Paper from Bella Blvd
- Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine
- Grape Fizz Trendy Twine

The Little Mermaid Straw

Hey everyone!! It's my day to post over at the Peachy Keen blog as a guest designer!!
If you follow my blog you know that in our house, there are princesses everywhere!! :) I don't complain though... I love them too! 

We are heading to Disneyland (as you read this post!) and I wanted to make a fun straw for my youngest daughter to take with us! Since her favorite princess is Ariel I used a cute little mermaid cutting file from Miss Kate Cuttables and a fish from the Peachy Keen June 2013 Stamp Club kit. 

I picked up some of these fun straws at a party store in a few different colors. They are soo much fun!! I can't wait to make more of these! They would be perfect for birthday parties! 

Ariel's sweet little face came from the In the Garden Face Assortment set. 

Here is what I used to make my straw...

- Peachy Keen In the Garden Face Assortment Stamp Set

- Peachy Keen Stamp Club Kit 18 - June 2013

- Mermaid from Miss Kate Cuttables

- Scalloped Circle from Silhouette Store

- Martha Stewart glitter

- White Gelly Roll Pen

- paper straws

- Pebbles chalk

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Build-A-Bear Gift Card

Hi everyone!! It's my day to post a project on the Jaded Blossom blog!  I have a super cute card to share today!! Ever since I got my Jaded Blossom gift card die, I have been giving out a whole lot more gift cards as gifts!! I decided a Build-A-Bear GC would be perfect for one of my nieces...

I LOVE the Sweet Birthday Wishes stamp set... The sentiment I choose is one of my fav's from the set because I just love the font. I also used the smaller die in the Flag Dies 2 set. 

My awesome Bear Shaped Card is from SVG Cutting files. At first I thought I was going to make a brown bear, but I decided to "girl" it up and make a more feminine bear. Isn't she sweet?! Of course she had to have a bow... The Bubblegum Taffy twine from Trendy Twine matched my little bear perfectly. 

Don't forget that our current challenge is anything Halloween!! Make sure you link up your projects HERE for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Jaded Blossom store!!!
