Hello everyone it's been a long time since I have blogged my artwork. Thank you for those of you who have taken the time to stop by my blog despite my absence. I promise you I will eventually get back to Cricuting and making layouts and mini albums again. Right now I am living with family and I don't have much space for my crafting supplies. I make do with what I have.
For today's cards I made two cards using Derwent Watercolor pencils, My Minds Eye 6x6 paper and Hero Arts, Graphic 45 Hampton Art, and Bo Bunny stamps. I hope you can watch my video below showing my cards and supplies used here. Have a great day!
Hello everyone! This week is sneak peek week for the Peachy Keen Stamps Christmas in July release I am so SUPER excited for these stamps they are just way too cute and they are getting me in the mood for some Christmas cookies, snow and Holiday Spirit!
This bag is a pretty good sized food paper bag that holds a big giant chocolate chip cookie that I shared with my son just now LOL!! I stamped the sentiment using the new July 2013 Stamp of The Month Kit and the gingerbread cookie girl is from another stamp set that will also be released in the 5th. I embossed the background using a Sizzix Christmas embossing folder in my Cuttlebug. I added pink ribbon to the bottom of the bag and White Liquid Applique to the gingerbread cookie to make it appear to be icing just like a real gingerbread cookie.

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend I had a fabulous one! Here's a fun birthday pig card I made using tag I made using one of the newest Scrappy Moms Stampsets called Check This Out this stamp set.

Good morning everyone! This is Sandra from 365 Days of Cricut and today is my day to post on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog . For my project I thought I'd use up my Peachy Keen Stamps in a totally different way by...... making my Week 2 Project Life pages! I was able to use 9 different Peachy Keen Stamps YES 9! So Awesome!!!
Here is both of my pages when you first open it up. I cut a 6x12 insert down to 8x6 to fit my Jamba Juice Menu and movie ticket stubs. The font I used is from the Something To Celebrate Cricut cart. I also printed out the movie poster from The Hobbit movie.
This is the same page but with the middle Jamba Juice page turned.
Here's a close up of my son Aidan enjoying is smoothie from our favorite place Jamba Juice! I used 3 different PKS sentiments here... "Love You!!", "You look delicious" and "Feelin' Fruity?" and I also used 4 different faces from the Piles Of Smiles Faces. I cut all of the fruit from the Preserves Cricut Cartridge which goes perfectly with the new release stamps that I used in my project!
Here's another PKS sentiment I used "Miss you...." I took a picture of my hubby at the airport checking in for deployment while he wasn't looking, I also got a copy of his itinerary and wrote a message underneath it.
The last PKS sentiment I used was "cute!" which I stamped 3 times in a row because this picture of my kids and dog is just cute, cute, cute!!! Love them!
Watch my YoutTube video below of my project!
Here's a list of the Peachy Keen Stamps I used to create my Project Life Pages:
For my project I made 14 Christmas cards........ yes 14 all from the Pear and Partridge Kit! You may recognize a few of these cards on my Facebook/Blog/Pinterest but most of them are never before seen I just wanted to show them all to you at once! After making these 14 cards I still have tons of paper left to make another 30 more cards or 5 scrapbook layouts!
I created my own background paper on 3 of the cards by stamping snowflakes randomly on the cardstock. I also used several CTMH Cricut companion stamps on the die cuts.
Come check out my video showing all 14 cards along with the CTMH products I used.
Note: If you would like to purchase the Pear and Partridge Paper Pack X7162B only NOT the kit it will become available after Dec. 4th. You can purchase it HERE after Dec. 4th.
Thank You for checking out my cards have a great day!

Hi everyone I'm finally back to crafting and blogging. For those of you who don't know my grandma passed away on September 28th :( I felt very sad and wasn't in the mood to do any crafting or blogging. Yesterday I woke up and actually felt happy for my grandma that she is in a better place then here. And I know she would want me to get back to crafting, she loved looking at all the things I would make and all the cards I would give her.
I made this card for Cameo Creations challenge which is to make anything 3D! I found this cute 3D owl card in the Silhouette store and cut with my Cameo. It was very easy, I LOVE fast and easy cards! Everything came together as a kid and already had score lines in it.... even better LOL! I stamped all the sentiments using Pink By Design stamps.
Hi everyone! I made this cute little lollipop holder completely from my Artiste Cricut cartridge. I cut the lollipop holder, the tag and the rose all from Artiste and I made it big enough to put a Tootsie Roll Pop in it. The sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts Totally Witchin' Stamp set.

Ahoy matey, here is me project for this hop.
For my pirate card I made a shaped card using my ART PHILOSOPHY Cricut cartridge for the shape and the very cute Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge! These 2 carts go so good together since Art Philosophy has 100 card shapes... yes 100!! That's a whole lotta cards LOL! I have really been trying to stock up on my birthday cards since those are always the first to go. I stamped the sentiment "Walk the Plank" using Pink By Design stamps, and the inside says "It's Yarrrrr Birthday!" I thought this would be perfect for any little boy and I guess I was right because my son saw it and instantly thought it was his LOL! I embossed the white papers using a Tim Holtz woodgrain stamp and inked it up and crumbled the blue paper and also inked it up.
Hi everyone!!! For today's project I made something scary for my 4 year old son who is obsessed with playing with these gross Halloween eyes I got from the $1 store LOL! He lines up the eyes and counts them, and then he puts them by his eyes, he comes home from school and said "I want to play with my eyes!" LMBO it's really funny! I got these eyes so I could do a Halloween D.I.Y. project but Aidan hijacked them!
I cut the box out using my Artiste Cricut Cartridge and the little Scream killer is from the very new very ADORABLE Trick Or Treat LITE Cricut Cartridge, this one is so fun and goes perfect with Artiste! I am so glad I got the Cricut Expression 2 because look at this little guy he's only 2 inches tall and no rips or tears! I used Crafty Sprouts TOTALLY WITCHIN" stamp set for the sentiment.

I got my CTMH Kit and FREE Totebag and let's just say I am VERY impressed with CTMH products! These are very high quality products I think even better then Michaels and other craft stores stuff. It just feels more luxurious lol! It costs $49 to join and be a consultant and you get a beautiful FREE totebag to carry all your crafty goodies in it and even 12x12 paper and/or a scrapbook album will fit in it. The kit came with so much stuff in it I couldn't believe my eyes, even if you join CTMH just for the $49 kit its totally worth it! You can view it HERE

I have one more thing to show you guys, I'm so excited I got my Cricut ARTISTE Collection and it came with all this stuff!! Except the stamp set on the top right that is the AUGUST Stamp of the month called Baroque Borders. I LOVE this cart and I LOVE these stamps they are all 6x6 inch stamp sets thats a lot of stamps per set! I also got 3- 8.5x11 inch sets of chipboard that all coordinate with the cart. So do the stamps, thats the main reason I got the cart so I can have dies that go with the stamps,I am very happy with my purchase this was also my birthday present for myself lol perfect timing!

I made this card especially for CallyAnn doesn't it look so delicious!?! My son Aidan was actually pretend eating it because he thought it was a really smore lol! To make this card I downloaded the smore shape from the Silhouette store, and welded 2 together to make it into a shaped card. I inked up the marshmallows to make them look a little "toasty" just the way I like 'em! Then I placed glossy accents all over the chocolate candy bar. The stamp sentiment is from Scarppy Moms its one of my fav's! The drippy chocolate is actually from my drippy goo punch, I love having double chocolate on my smore's mmmmm!! I cut this card out using my Silhouette Cameo.
