#24 Olivia's 1st Easter Layout

Hi everyone! Here's a layout I made of my daughter's 1st Easter can you believe it's already going to be a year next year I can't believe it! She was so tiny since she was born 3 weeks early that I put her in this little Easter basket! I got the cute little baby chicks, Easter eggs and peeps from KaDoodle Bug Designs "Close Your Little Peepers" pattern cut out with my Silhouette Cameo.  The alphabet stickers are foam stickers from American Crafts and all of the papers used are from the new Spring/Summer 2013 Close To My Heart IDEA BOOK. The paper is called the Chantilly Paper Pack along with some flowers & "Your Perfect" shape are from the Chantilly Complements Dimensional Elements (Chipboard Shapes). I cut the banners out using the Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge.

Chantilly Paper Pack comes with 12 -12x12 sheets of paper!

#43 Bunnies and Blossoms Banners Blog Hop

Hi everyone!! Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banners for the Kids Blog Hop hosted by the lovely ELLEN. If you are here from Jenny's blog you are in the right spot! For those of you who are new to seeing these type of banner blog hops, we make them for a children's hospital and donate them to be hung in the kids rooms how awesome is that!

Here' s a banner I actually made last year for Easter! Well I hope you don't mind me recycling it (Ellen),  I am in my last 2 weeks of pregnancy and my DR. just put me on bed rest so I haven't really been able to craft much because of this! So I decided to donate my Easter banner to the kids since I am not using it and it's been stored in a safe place lol!

The Cricut carts I used for this are Birthday Bash, Doodlecharms, Give A Hoot and I also used Peachy Keen stamps and embossed the letters with my Cuttlebug. The mushroom and flower papers are glittery  paper from DCWV.

I hope you all have a great time hopping around and be sure to leave a comment on all the blogs for a chance to win a GORGEOUS Cricut Dust Cover (secretly hoping I win it lol!!)

#95 Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week 14 Day 1

Hi everyone it's me Sandra 365 Days of Cricut I am so super excited that today is the start of my Guest Designer week at PEACHY KEEN STAMPS!! For my special week I thought I would challenge myself to make very different projects each day I can't wait to show you all of the special creations I have in store for you!

For my 1st project I made an Easter banner with the Birthday Bash cart for the font, banner and scallop circle shapes. I used Doodlecharms for the eggs and Easter basket. Below I took a couple close up shots since this banner is about 5 feet long.

I cut the bunny from Give A Hoot and stamped this cutie pie's face with PK-760 Super Simple Eyes and Noses which are originally made for Hello Kitty! I didn't plan to use these stamps for my banner it just kinda worked out since this bunny has a big giant head LOL! I also stamped the Easter basket bellow with the same stamps. 

I also did some inking, faux stitching, doodling and embossed the letter's with my Cuttlebug.

Now for some blog candy! I am giving away one PK 757- Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Assortment all you have to do is leave me a comment, you do not have to be a follower but I would love it if you did! I will chose a Random winner on Saturday April 16th.

I hope I inspired you to use your stamps in a different way, see you tomorrow!

#73 Birthday Bash Bunny Hop

Hello everyone welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Birthday Bash Bunny Blog Hop hosted by yours truly! If you are here from FLAUNT IT FRIDAY'S then you are in the right spot. This hop is all about the Birthday Bash Cricut cart and different ways and cuts that can be used.  For this week's challenge we are flaunting the Bunny w/ present from Birthday Bash, and you will see a 2nd project from everyone that is anything goes. Here is how I flaunted it!!

For my bunny I wanted it took look like a trendy teenager or young person type of bunny so that's why I chose the Black/white/pink color scheme. I stamped the face with PKS critter faces with white pigment ink, then I went over it with a white gel pen to make it pop. The sentiment is from Pink By design. I also added a button, black embroidery floss and a border from EK Success.

For my 2nd project I chose to flaunt the juggling clown Beaver from Birthday Bash, I originally cut out the balls that come with it but I totally forgot to glue them on the card and thought hey it even looks good without them....sometimes things just work out a different way lol! I embossed the large dots with a Quick Kutz folder in my Cuttlebug and stamped the sentiment, and stamped the face with Peacky Keen Stamps.  The green border strip is a strip of patterened paper it looks a lot like ribbon huh!?! I am also giving away a set of stamps like the one I used on the Beaver check below....

Now for some blog candy! Peachy Keen Stamps is sponsoring with one Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Assortment! Please be sure to leave a comment on all of the blogs to be eligible!
