My project for you today is one that I made for a couple challenges last week. I just didn't get time to get pictures taken so it was never linked up but I thought I would show it to you anyway. 

It's a pretty simple layout, but I really wanted the focus to be on the cute V-day pics I took of Brittyn.

How about that cute little bear?? And everything's always better with a Peachy Keen face!

PPPR - It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's SUPER MOM!! :)

Happy Wednesday!! It's Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons DT day!! Today I played with the Superhero Trio Cutting files, which are some of my fav PPPR files! I totally live in a girl's world so I didn't think I would love these files that much, but I DO!! It may be because even though they're 'boy' super heros, then can also be girly! 

I thought I would start getting ready for Mother's Day early this year. After all, it IS the most important holiday of the year! ;) 

Supplies:

- Recollections cardstock

- 6x6 Echo Park So Happy Together

- Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine

- Princess Assortment Peachy Keen Face Stamps

- Blush copic

- Pink By Design Stamps

- Recollections pearls

- Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink

- white Sakura Gelly Roll pen

I used the following files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons...

Now make sure you head on over to the blog to check out all the great projects by the rest of the DT!! 

You Are the Milk to My Cookie (Tutorial)

Oh my gosh... I love the card I have for you today! :) I hope you think it's as cute as I do!! 

I paired two SVGs - a freebie from Miss Kate Cutables (the cookie) and a jug of milk from Lettering Delights - and used the PNC (print & cut) feature to make the main focal point of my card. Of COURSE I used Peachy Keen faces on my characters... the face set I used is the Wide Eyed Kids Assortment. I used a shape from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and filled it with some digital paper from Lettering Delights (the Once Upon A Princess set) to create my background for my milk & cookie. If you would like to see how I did everything in Silhouette Studio to design this card, check out the tutorial below! 

My blue banner is also from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and is filled with another pattern from the Once Upon A Princess set from Lettering Delights. My sentiment comes from the Pink By Design stamp set, You Are. I also added a touch of Divine twine. 

If you would like to see how I assembled this card, here is that part!! 

I am linking this card up over at the Scrapbook Steals blog a, Scrappy Mom's, Peachy Keen, and the CAS on Sunday Challenge Blog. 

Have an amazing day!! 

Cameo Creations - Valentine Tags

Hey there!! My project today is for the new Challenge over at Cameo Creations! The theme for this challenge is: Valentine Tags!! 

I decided to make some tags to used for some bags of goodies I have for my girls for Valentine's Day! 

My tag bases are from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and I used patterned paper from Sassy Designs to fill them. The adorable animals are from Zenware Designs, which I bought from MyGrafico. The sentiments are from the Pink By Design stamp set, Love Always and the banners are from the Everyday Banners set. 

My finishing touches were some bling in the animals' hair and some Trendy Twine bows!! 

Now make sure you head on over to the Cameo Creations Challenge blog to check out the other designers' projects and then link up your V-day tags!!! The prize this week is a $10 gift certificate to Lettering Delights!!! 

From One Chick to Another PLUS a SALE!!

Boy, I am sooo ready for spring! I can feel my crafty projects starting to be totally spring inspired. Easter and melting snow is on the brain!! :) 

My card today was inspired by the first release challenge at Peachy Keen. The challenge was to include stripes and polka dots. DONE! :) 

I used an adorable freebie from Miss Kate`s Cuttables and paired it with a sweet little Peachy Keen face. I also used some cloud digital paper from Pixel Paper Prints for my background. Since I was feeling overly motivated, I even dusted off my sewing machine to add some stitching! My sentiment is from Pink By Design, as well as the inside sentiment which reads 'Get Well'

I used a glossy sakura pen to color in my chick's beak and a blush copic marker for her rosy little cheeks. 

I have some great news!! Lisa over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons is having a sale!!!! 

I also wanted to let you in on a little secret... I'm giving my blog a makeover!!! :) I have now had my blog for two years so it's time for a fresh look!! Stay tuned! :) 

We are the perfect blend...

Hey everyone!! I have been on a card making craze lately and I can't wait to show you what I've been working on! :) Today my card was inspired by the photo challenge over at Peachy Keen. The colors in the photo were red/browns/greys, but I was mainly inspired by the browns. For some reason whenever I see brown, I think coffee! Strange because I rarely drink coffee.... :) 

I recently purchased the new Love You A Latte set from Lettering Delights that I wanted to play with. I used both the cutting files set and the matching digital paper.

I followed this sketch...

Everything is always more cute with a PK face!! I used my favorite face assortment set, Princess Faces. My sentiment is from the Perk Up stamp set by Pink By Design and my twine is from The Twinery. 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

You Make My Heart Smile

I have such a fun post today!! :) I have been wanting to do a Valentine photo shoot with my older girls and we finally got to it yesterday. I had a few ideas in mind for props for our shoot and it meant I had to hit my craft room first (twist my rubber arm.. ;)). 

My inspiration for my heart banner was the current challenge over at My Creative Time. You had to use 1 bow, 2 patterned paper, and 3 buttons. This worked perfectly with what I had in mind for my banner...

I used a cute little bow cut from the Silhouette store and added a button in the middle.

I used some digital paper to fill in my hearts in my Silhouette software...

And I also added some text that I printed out on the hearts. Then I threaded a looooong piece of red satin ribbon through the holes in the hearts (which I also added to the hearts in Silhouette Studio). 

And of course I can't NOT show you some of my fav pics from our photo shoot!! :) First was Bria, who was SO excited when I told her we were doing a photo shoot. She was so concerned about what she as going to wear! Talk about 4 going on 14!! 

And next was Brittyn's turn!! She insisted on wearing my heels too. Every time they fell off she kept saying,"Oh no! My photo shoot!!" but I finally figured out she was saying... "Oh no! My photo SHOES!!" So funny...

Don't you love my banner in the background? I'm super happy with how it turned out!! :)
