Tacky Tuesday Challenge #8

Hello friends! I finally, I hope, got this blogger to post my posts!! Here is my entry for the Tack Tuesday Challenge. You had to use the word 'sweet' somewhere in the project, and a cool treat.

I had a few ideas for this, this is the end result. Hope you enjoy! I used Pack your bags cricut cartridge, PeachyKeen stamps for the faces and sentiments are from My Creative Time and Scrappy mom's. The tag is also Emma's NEW die!! LOVE IT!! I thought I'd do a layout instead of a card. Happy Summer!

See you soon!

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I finally was able the past few days to get a little crafty. Time seems to get away from me so quickly. With 4 boys all with activities and working full time, it's crazy! So anyway... I wanted to enter some of these in challenges but havent found one that fits. I'll keep looking. Onto my recipes!

1st: my 5 yr olds little friend was having a pirate themed party for her 5th birthday. I remember seeing something similar on Emma's (My Creative Time with Emma) blog. I tweeked it a little to make it for a little girl. The cut is from Life's a Party cricut cartridge and I used one of Emma's stamps from her set So Many Candles. I love how it turned out!

Next is a card I made for my nephew's 1st communion. I saw this little boy on Chore chart and immediately thought of this project, so I had to run out and get it! I impressed myself with how this one turned out. The sentiment was printed off my computer and I used the i-rock for the bling, PeachyKeen stamps for the face. I think it's from wide eyed kids.

This next one I thought came out adorable. I saw something like this in my web browsing and can't remember which blogspot I saw it. Thank you whomever if your reading this. I changed it up a little to mkae it my own but thanks for the inspiration!The cartridge I used was Boys will be boys. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper, one of the older sets.

Finally, this last one if for my stepson who just graduated High School last weekend. My good ness how time does fly!! I used PKS for the face, I think graphically speaking for the cap, Create a Critter for the owl. The sentiment inside is from My Creative Time's Turn that frown upside down set

Thank you all for visiting! I hope to have some Father's Day projects to share!!

My Pinkalicious blog hop challenge

Hello friends!! Time for a My Pink Stamper challenge! It's been a while since I've been on here so, I decided since it's been a while, I would make a birthday card for the challenge. I used Emma's stamps from My Creative Time with Emma for the sentiment. The cartridges I used were Storybook for the shape and layers and I believe the daisy is from Just Because Cards. Of course I used Peachy Keen stamps for the face on my flower. I LOVE Peachy!! alittle twine from my stash (not sure where its from) Hope you enjoy!

I hope to get some crafting in Sunday! Lazy day... although if it's as nice as they say, I'll be doing anything outside!!

Thanks for visiting!

Love, gina

happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday crafting everyone! It has been a relaxing day. I had a test to take yesterday which didnt leave much time for crafting lately. I took my exam, passed! so now I can craft a little before my next class begins. Ok so onto important things.... I went shopping at my local Walmart this past week and saw Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite cartridge marked at $15.97! It was way back in the clearance section of the craft dept. I thought it was an error as the other lites were marked $25 or $39. Anyway, brought it to the register and it rang up $25, but because the sticker was clearly there,they gave it to me for $15.97. LOVE the cartridge! those little girls and the shapes are awesome!

So with my new Cartridge, lol, I made this birthday card for my niece. I think I am getting better at the rosy cheeks :o). I cut her at 3.25" used DCWV paper and $1 bin ribbon. The sentiment is from The Paper Company called Cupcakes. Added some bling with my i-rock and some stickles. The face is PKS, again I used the critter faces for the eyes, and everyday face parts for the nose and smile. FYI- I did order the new releases from PKS Wide eyed kids and Wide eyed and bushy tailed. Can't wait til they arrive!!
This next card I had in mind for PKS 'xoxo' challenge but hadn't had it done yet. Not sure if I can enter more than one but I wanted to post this anyway. I used multiple carts for this one. I should write them down as I use them. The sentiment is computer generated.Some feaux stitching in red and white around and a few buttons.

This next card is for my nephew who turns 8 next month. Love how this came out! I used the guitar from Indie art, the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper stamps, the tag is a punch from EK success, the music notes are from Elmo's party! LOVE that cartridge too.

this is the inside of the card. Again, a sentiment from MPS
Check back soon. Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

See you next time!

PKS Let's Face it Friday Challenge

Hello out there! I think this is my first LFIF challenge. I was so excited to participate. The challenge is you have to incorporate " xoxo" in the project somewhere. I had so many ideas, I think I'll post the other project tomorrow. I apologize for the quality of the pictures, the lighting wasnt great where I took them. Sooo, the recipe for this wall hanging is Wild Card Cartridge for the 'xoxo' cut at about 2" real dial size ( if that feature was off, i think it came to almost 22" or something like that since the sentiment is meant to fit on one of the wild card cards) the cute little girl is from Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice cut at 3.25" , Face is of course PKS... I did get creative with this face though. I used Critter faces for the eyes, the mouth and nose are from Everyday character face parts. I'm still working on how to get the rosy cheeks, didnt come out great so I chose not to do it on this little lady. The hearts are from Michael's 0.39 painted with pink acrylic paints. stuck the xoxo on with decopauge. waa laa!

Happy Crafting everyone!
