#89 Peachy Keen Stamps Sneak Preview

Hi everyone! This week is release week at the Peachy Keen Stamps store starting on September 5th  all new stamps will be for sale and also we will be partying on the Peachy Keen Connection celebrating with some prizes! Check out the rest of the PKS DT sneak peeks all week long HERE!

I made a se of 20 recipe cards to right down and give away to my kids when they get older or even to give away to friends when they ask for a certain recipe of mine. I don't know I guess it's more special when you write it down versus seeing it in an email or something lol!

Anyways this release theme couldn't have been any more perfect timing because I am actually writing a Vegan cookbook with some Gluten- Free options write now. I have been spending a lot of my time in my kitchen cooking it up or like I call it my "Test Kitchen!" :)  Stay tuned for more info I plan on starting up a Facebook Fan Page where I will be posting free healthy recipes daily!

What I did to create my recipe cards was cut each recipe card, layer, and tab using the From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge an oldie but goodie for sure! Each card is about a 4x6 size and I going to store them all in a small photo album you can get these anywhere like Walgreen's or the $1 store I got mine in Vegas so I am not sure if I want to alter the cover because it's too cute already even though it's not a cooking theme!

I used several Peachy Keen Stamps because I wanted them all to be individual from each other they represent soups, teas, cake, cookies and cookie dough, homemade ice cream, cinnamon toast,  milkshakes and salsa..... yes these are all recipes I have done that are all mine I am very proud of myself lol!

#212 Martini card

Happy New Year everyone! today is Friday and you know what that means....time for everyone to "Flaunt" their Cricut Carts over at my new challenge blog http://flauntitfridays.blogspot.com/. For those of you who are new to my blog welcome! At Flaunt it Friday's we have a new Cricut cart that we will be featuring every week and you have one week to complete the project. This week we are flaunting the Martini on Page 60 from the "From My Kitchen" Cartridge, if you do not own this cart feel free to use a similar cut from any cart.

For my card I used some black glitter paper...it was really hard to work with this type of material because I have actually never used it before....yes I am a Hoarder of all things scrapbooking related I have so much untouched stuff its sad....well at least that could be one of my New Year's Resolutions to use up my stuff I already own! I cut the Martini and cherry from FMY, the cherry was actually supposed to be an olive. I added stickles to the cherry and black bling to the "Pimp Cup" LOL! And I stamped the most perfect sentiment to go along with my Martini, the stamp is from Pink By Design. I inked the edges of the sentiment with pink distress ink, and added a strip of sequin ribbon. I hope you all can play along this week with us especially since we having a GIVE AWAY sponsored by our fabulous Dorcas 4 Crafty Angels!

***Click HERE for the I love the 80's Blog Hop!***

Hello everyone I hope you had a great weekend and are now ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas LOL! I think it's kinda funny how we jump from one holiday to the next without any breaks! Speaking of I made this banana bread loaf and tag for my mom which would be a great Christmas gift idea wink wink LOL! If you are new to my blog I am a Queen (Designer) at Paper Playtime and this weeks fabulous challenge is to make something with a clock, tag, or ticket fun huh! I had so many things I wanted to do for this challenge but I decided to go with a banana bread tag since my bananas were starting to get black. The tag is from Forever Young and the bread loaf is from From My Kitchen, I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Stamp, stamped the sentiment, inked the edges punched a hole at the top and put my ribbon in and put a brown button on it. Oh yeah I almost forgot I cut tag on a Cereal box/chipboard to make the tag sturdy and I just put tape behind the tag and taped it to the plastic wrap over the banana bread. My mom loved it so much, she especially loved how I stamped the faces! I love the face that is already cut with the sad face LOL, it's saying Ahhh, uh-oh, oh no! I'm a dork LOL, don't mind me when I talk to myself ha ha! So anyways we are sponsored this week by Doodle Pantry and don't forget to join in our challenge at Paper Playtime for the clocks, tag, or ticket challenge! I am also entering in The Paper Players Challenge which is "Anything Goes".
