 I colored the penguins using my Spectrum Noir pens.

Hubbys Birthday card

My husbands birthday is this week, and he is a HUGE Denver Broncos fan, so I made this card for him. 
I used the Create a Friend cricut cartridge for the little guy and his uniform.  I used my Gypsy to erase the pre-cut face and stamped it with a cute Peachy Keen face.  I used my Cameo to cut out a Denver Bronco for the helmet.

Winter scene Christmas card

It's such a busy time of year making Christmas cards, decorations and sweets.  I find very little time to post, but thought I would post a couple cards for some challenges this week.

This is a 3D winter scene.  I love how it turned out.  The globe and cut outs are from Paper Wishes.  I had some pretty blue paper that I embossed some PK snowflakes onto.  The snow is Flower soft.

Candy Corn Box

This little box was harder to put together than I thought it would be.  I bought it at the Silhouette store and cut it out on my Cameo.  However, there were no instructions and  I had to recut 3 times before I got it put together right... Phew.  But it turned out so cute with the little Peachy Keen face on it.

Action Wobble Guest Designer

This week I am the guest designer at Action Wobble Challenge.  I decided to make a bobble head penguin.

To make a bobble head, you have to cut the critter twice.  Once at regular size, then another time at twice the size.  Then you just cut the head off the larger critter and attach it to an Action Wobble.
I cut the Penguin from Create a Critter 2.  I added google eyes, glitter and a pom pom on the hat.  I made this as an easel card.
The sentient is stamped from Jaded Blossom "Christmas Wishes" and the snow flakes are stamped from Peachy Keen "Snow" and embossed.

Come on over to Action Wobble Challenge and play along this week!

Grand Nephews Birthday card

My grand nephew is having his 4th birthday party.  He is such an opininated little guy.  He loves Target and Starbucks.  So I decided to make his birthday card showing his favorite things...


I made a Target symbol from the Outdoor Man Cricut cartridge and printed a Starbucks logo, then I cut out a cute little cupcake from Create a Critter.  I stamped it with a Peachy Keen face and popped it up on an Action Wobble.  I love how cute that face is.  Then I added some twine and a button.

Back to School

Back to school is always hard for me.  I don't think we've ever really celebrated back to school.  Anyway I combined it with my first try at sketching on my Cameo.  My daughter loves Pokemon, so I found an image of Pikachu and sketched it out.  I think it turned out really cute.  Anyway, I thought I would tell her how much Pikachu will miss playing with her when she goes back to school.

3D Project

I usually only make cards and layouts, 3D projects are a little out of my comfort zone.  But when I saw the Challenge this week, I decided to try it.  Some of my friends have a doggy day care and sometimes my dog goes and visits.  I was thinking what a cute idea it would be to make a Survival kit.  I used the PK SOTM from last month for all of the cute doggy cuts and stamps.  The box is from Cricut TBBM 2.
