Peachykeen Challenge

This is for this weeks Peachy Keen Challenge. They asked for polka dots (which is on the ribbon), a border (plain red border), stripes (on the background to "Can't Catch Me"), and a stamped image (PK243). I used a peachy keen face on my gingerbread man who I cut with the cricut. I also used the cricut to cut the gingerbread house and the cop car. I embossed snow on the gingerbread house. My kids spilled lucky charms on the living room floor and instead of throwing them away I lined my gingerbread house with them. This is the first of many thank you bags for my kids teachers. I'm looking forward to comments :).

Marilyn Monroe Tag

Honestly, I only blog hopped for a minute today but in the process I found this FABULOUS site called "Something Completely Different" and their challenge was to make a tag using Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn is my absolute favorite celebrity so of course I had to complete it. Funny thing is I also need to make tags for some thank you bags I'm putting together for my daughter and son's teachers. Now that I've finished her I don't want to give her away :)

I used colored pencils to add a bit of color to her, some glitter for her necklace and earings, ribbon, buttons and of course my favorite... flowers. I really enjoyed completing this project. Thank you for the fabulous idea and I'm anxiously awaiting your next challenges.

Christmas Card for my sister

Here's another Christmas card. I made one for my mom and now one for my sister. I'm entering it into two challenges:

Anyone for Anya: "you can make whatever your heart desires...just be sure to include an image from The Greeting Farm." This is my newest purchase, Miss Anya Autumn. She was so much fun to color and I love her stylish outfit. I added a bit of sparkle to her boots.

Inspirational Card Sketchers: I followed their sketch which was fun. They used three circles in the corner which gave me the idea to stand Ms. Anya next to a snowoman. :)

I embossed the snowflakes in the background and also Ms. Anya's scarf. I added a bit of sparkle to her boots using glitter. I used the Crop-A-Dile for a touch of detail. Bottons were used make Ms. Snowoman (notice the hat). The hat is a retired stamp from Stampin Up! I colored her with colored pencils. Hope you enjoy...

Christmas Card for my mom

I made "Rosa" for my mom for Christmas. I'm sure she'll love her!!! I also made this card for a few challenges they are:

Sketch Saturday which provided me the layout. Thank you :)

Stamp Something - they asked for something "glitzy" which was so much fun!

Challenge #9 at Mo's Digital Pencil - the requirements were to create a Christmas card for someone special. I just found Mo's digi's and have fallen in love.

I embossed both the snow flake and the sentiment (which I got from Stampin Up). I used some embellishments on the flowers and put them on buttons to try something new. I used glitter on "Rosa's" dress and colored her with colored pencils. The ribbon was given to me by my wonderful sister. I might have to color her again and use glitter on all the layers of her dress.
