Go Team - Pennant

Hello my friends!
Happy Halloween Eve!!

Here is a fun little project I created for the Peachy Keen Challenge.
 This weeks challenge is Fall Sports 3D!!  When I saw that, my first thought was UH-OH... what in the world am I going to create??
After a bit of thinking, here is what I came up with:

Here is a closer look:

I found a pennant shape at the Silhouette online store, then just altered it to have multiple layers. 
The cheese head hat is just a slice of cheese I altered from the Silhouette store.
   The squirrel stamp is from the PK Oct. 2012 Stamp of the Month and the football and Game On stamps are from the newest PK Oct. 2013 Stamp of the Month.

My mother and father will be moving to Michigan next spring, so they will become "cheeseheads"!  I will be giving this to them.
**clarification**  I DO know Green Bay is in Wisconsin NOT Michigan, however, my parents are moving to UPPER Michigan, where I guess there are a lot "cheeseheads".  

I also know our friends at PK are big cheeseheads too!!!  :)

Happy Fall Y'all

Hello crafty friends.
Happy, Happy Saturday!
This week the Joy' Life DT created projects with "bling".
I am really loving all the fall colors right now, so that was the inspiration for my card:

I added some rhinestones and hemp twine for my "bling"!
The sentiment I used is from Joy's "It's All Fall Puns", which you can find at the Joy's Life Store.
I found this fabulous card at SVG Cuts.com.
The card base is paper I purchased at PTI, and all the other pattern papers are digital paper I purchased from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. :)

I just LOVE this flower:
The stamped sentiment is from Joy's "It's All Fall Puns".  

I have to admit, this was probably THE hardest project I have EVER done!! LOL! It may not look very difficult, but the pumpkin base, which you can't really see, gave me fits!! I must have been doing something wrong. Ha ha ha!!  But, in the end, I like the way it turned out. :)

The pumpkin is part of a kit I purchased at SVG Cuts.com "Pick a Pumpkin".
I totally LOVE LOVE the digital papers I used. The orange patterns are from Pretty Papers Pretty Ribbons new Halloween Collection "All Hallows Eve" and the yellow on the flower is from the "Halloween Circles and Spots" collection.

Thank you - ombre style

Hello crafty friends!
Happy, Happy Saturday!
This week the Joy's Life DT has been sharing Ombre style cards.  What is Ombre?? Ombre is the gradual change in a shade of color from light to dark or vise versa.
And here is my creation:
I altered a file I found at the Silhouette online store to make my card.
The ombre effect was created with some paint chip samples I had on hand from when my daughter was picking colors to paint her room. :)
I added some Stampin Up ribbon, stamped my sentiment with a stamp from Joy's Life "Tag You're It - Set One", and VIOLA... it was done.  This was very quick and easy to make!!


I hope you enjoyed my project.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
As always, I love and appreciate your comments.
Have a HAPPY, CRAFTY DAY!!

Happy Halloween - Treat box

Hello, it's my second post today (this evening).
Here is my project for the Peachy Keen Release Party Challenge#2, which is 3-D Halloween.
I have to admit this is definitely NOT my best work, but I was running out of time and I wanted to be sure I was able to enter both challenges. So here is my super quick project:
Again, I used the new PKS October Stamp of the Month Kit.
The doily die is from My Creative Time.
So, that's it!!

Miss you a bushel

Hello crafty friends!
Just wanted to share a card I made for the Peachy Keen Release Party Challenge.
Although I always LOVE the look of CAS cards, I do NOT typically make them myself. I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out tho.  The challenge was to use only two colors (plus a neutral for the card base).  A little tricky... hence the CAS card. LOL!!
So, here it is:
I used two of the new PKS October Stamp of the Month stamps. 
 The basket is one stamp, and the apples are the second.
I hope you like it!!!

Too cute to spook - Halloween Treat Bag

Hello crafters!
Today is my day to post over at the Joy's Life Design Team Blog, so I thought I'd share my project here as well.
This week we were sharing some fun Halloween treat bags.
Here is the one I created:


This cute little treat bag is from the Silhouette Online Store.  
The spider web, the banner at the bottom of the bag, and the bow on the ghost are not actually a part of the file, I added them on to make this my own creation. :)
The sentiment is from the Joy's Life stamp set "Halloween Puns".  
The adorable face stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps.

love you Cherry much

Hello everyone!
Here's a quick project I wanted to share with you today... it was inspired by the challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps.
I thought this would be such a fun way to share recipes with friends or family:


(The directions for the recipe are on the back!)

I found this library pocket card SVG at the Silhouette online store.  The pie and the cherry SVG's are from there as well. 
I just HAD to add a Peachy Keen face for that touch of cuteness!! :)
 (This particular face stamp is from the  PKS June 2013 Stamp of the Month Kit)  
The stamped sentiment is from Pink By Design "Country Living" stamp set.

Challenges entered:
Peachy Keen Stamps: Can I have that recipe?
