Ribbon and cardstock from PaperTreyInk.com. The heart button is from my Mommy.

I added the coordinating paper ribbon from the same line to the inside. Ok, that's it! I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!!

You've got my heart on a string

Hiya peeps! It's my day to post for the Cottage Blog. I used the Peeker Pocket and the Elephant Peeker dies for my card. I wanted to make my elephant even girlier so I painted her nails pink. ☺ I tied the heart to her trunk so I could use this super cute sentiment from the Be Mine set from PinkByDesign...
Well, that's my card for today! Later alligators!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!

Today is my Mommy's birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!! I know what you're thinking...Um, Nikki??? You know you put a skull on your Mom's birthday card, right??? Yes I do! My Mom is now an honorary Mexican {hehehehe they are ALWAYS in Mexico} and she LOVES these Mexican skull thingy's. I used the Smiley Cards cartridge for the card base and the "cute" skull came from Rock Princess.
I attached the skull with a wobble so it wiggles. ☺ I used Emma's Mom You Rock set for the sentiment on the from of the card and on the inside.....
The Happy Birthday stamp is from PaperTreyInk.com. Anyhoo, I hope you like your card Mommy!!! It will be waiting for you when you decide to come home from Mexico! hehehe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BESTEST MOMMY IN THE WORLD!!!

Peachy Keen Blog Hop!!!

Hello!!! I am SO happy it's finally hop day!!! I used the NEW PK-282 St. Patrick's Day set. I colored the super cute leprechaun head with my prismacolor colored pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I then made him a body out of the gnome from the Freshly Picked cricut cartridge. I wanted to make him look like those little leprechaun costumes you see marching in St. Paddy's parades.
I heat embossed the FUNNY sentiment and the little shamrocks {also in the set} and colored them in with my sakura metallic green pen. I couldn't get a good picture, I swear it's shimmery and cool!

I attached the head with a wobble...although his head shakes the wrong way to answer the question asked in the sentiment! HAHAHAHAHa....ok, here's another card from another new set...

I used PK-283 Cheers for Green Beer set for this SUPER EASY card. I know it's kinda boring, but I felt like coloring him this afternoon! ☺ The super cute sentiment is from Emma's stamp set called..........I believe in Leprechauns.

and here's a card I had posted already made with PK-285 Mark and Sharen Love Frogs set.

and a side view to see his shiny crown...

Okie dokie...Giveaway time!!! I'm giving away PK-282 St. Patrick's Day!!! This is the set I used for my big headed leprechaun dude. ☺

Hoppy Saturday! I decided to play with some NEW PeachyKeen's today. For this card I used the adorable Mark and Sharen Love Frogs. Aren't they CUTE??!! I colored them, as always, with my prismacolor colored pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits.
The sentiment is from the You Had Me At Chocolate set from Emma "MyCreativeTime"...and I got my order of gorgeous twine in the mail today from PinkByDesign. Here I used the Cotton Candy color. Which, by the way, goes PERFECTLY with my favorite hibiscus burst from PaperTreyInk.com!  ☺

HEHEHEHE I used my new Groovy Times cartridge for the entire card. Used my Cher {gypsy} to weld the card base together. ☺ I used shimmer paper for the "lava"...
Ah I guess you can't really tell in the pics. Anyhoo, I found the PERFECT sentiment for it in the Be Mine stamp set from PinkByDesign. Well I'm off to go CREATE! Hope you're having a GROOVY day!

Yippe!!! We are BACK after a LONG break!!! For this challenge, we have the above sketch to follow. WARNING...if you are NOT a Chicago Bears fan, you probably won't like my card. LOL. The PeachyQueen and the orchard are located in Wisconsin...a.k.a CheeseHead country...The Bears/Packers rivalry runs deep! As a Chicago Burb girl, I had to represent for Da Bears! Ok, here's my card...

I just LOVE this adorable CheerEATer snowchick!!!! She is SO fitting for us Chi-town peeps, cuz boy do we LOVE our food!!! LOL That hot dog looks tasty. MMMMMM I thought the sentiment I chose was perfect! It is from the Bountiful Blessings stamp set from PinkByDesign. It is also extra cool because my showchick is attached with a wobble...so she really did GOBBLE TILL SHE WOBBLED! HA

Ok, that's my card for this challenge! I sure hope you will play along! Hop over to the Challenge Blog and link up YOUR project....One lucky winner will get the Happy Birthday Kids set

I'm nuts about you

Hiya! It's my day to post for the Scrapping Cottage. I used the Postage Stamp die to make this card. I cut it twice and poked a hole in the top and added a mini brad so it could swivel open like so...

I used the Nutty Squirrel die and gave the nut a face from the Happy Lashes assortment from PeachyKeenStamps.com. The sentiment is from the Go Green set from PinkByDesign.

I'm off to Michaels!!! Have a great day!
