OOPS sorry if you were waiting for the movie to come out. IF you were you should read the books SOOO MUCH BETTER lol. Maybe thats why I wanted to work with this image babies on the brain! lol

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #35

How is everyone this wonderful Friday? I am super excited for our family movie night tonight. We always have such a fun time! I hope you are doing something that makes you happy tonight too.

Here is a little project that I did for the challenge over at Peachy Keens Stamps I love my peachies and their challenges. This one was really hard for me though. I have been on a Halloween mode for a while and I couldn't think about doing this sketch without Halloween being incorporated somehow. Another invitation. lol This was suppose to be a puzzle...I used my cricut to cut it all out on a piece of cereal box and then this was going to be applied to the other side. Well...my husband rescued it and said it was too pretty to be a puzzle so maybe my next project. HEHEHE (in an evil scientist voice) lol Anyway thanks for looking y'all and have a great day!

Here's a list of What was used:
Cricut-Pumpkin Carving
Ink- Basic Black from Stampin' Up! White gel pen from Peachy Keen Stamps
Embellishments- Yellowish bling from Michaels
stamps-PKS Monster Mash Face Assortment
Paper- All the paper is from Stampin' Up! Only orange, taken with teal, and Perfect Plum
Adhesive-Tombow and snail I wish I would have pop dotted this one but it was made for a puzzle initially so ah.

Peachy Keen time again #34

Hi everyone! I sure hope you all are doing great! Today is my little mans party and normally Saturdays are my scrapping days so I figured I had better get this done. So my hubby and I stayed up late watching Invictus and I worked on the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. I have to say I haven't seen this face used on anything and I just cant believe it. This stamp set is by far my new favorite. Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen. The stamp set is called Baby Animal Faces n More!

Okay one more thing and I'll stop rambling...my sister placed a pks order without me; CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT! And guess what she got...the new dies, I'm so jealous. Hopefully she will come over and scrap soon. HEHEHE. Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

My husband said she looks like a little care bear. She does, now that I look at her. She is just too cute!

Here's a list of What was used:
Punches- Spellbinder large circle dies, cricut, New Arrival (cut in blackout at 3')
Ink-Basic Black from Stampin' Up!
Embellishments-Crochet cotton thread, ribbon, and the bling is from Michaels

Color medium- I used pink Stampin' Up pastels for the cheeks

Here is another card I made as a special request for a friend of mine. I love love love it and I think it came out awesome. I used Hannah Montana and Everyday Paper Dolls.

Happy Crafting!
