Whooooooo loves you?

Hello! I have been DYING to post this card for a long time! I made this for my Uncle to give to my Aunt for her birthday and her birthday has come and gone, so I can post it now! ☺ Actually her birthday and my husband's were both on Sunday. I would post my hubby's card, but there was an unfortunate diet coke explosion on our road trip over the weekend...and, well, the card kinda bit the dust! LOL...But I digress...back to this card! I was able to make it really bulky because my Nana drove the card back to Illinois with her so it could be hand delivered. I used my fiskars scalloped border punch to punch a strip of paper. I then scored in between all the scallops and did an accordion fold with the strip. Then I busted out the hot glue gun and put glue in the center to make my very own medallion. I think it turned out pretty darn cool! ☺

I cut the owl from the Hoot 'n' Holler cricut lite cartridge. I stamped his hootin' adorable face with the Critter Faces Small from PeachyKeenStamps.com. Well, I hope you like my card...It's actually one of my favorite cards EVER!

Hi there

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY! This card was made entirely with the Lovely Floral Cricut Lite cartridge. I LOVE this cartridge! Not only does it have a gorgeous font, it has a bunch of really pretty images too. I used Cher a.k.a. my Gypsy to weld the scalloped circles together to create my card base. So, that's the card for today...Onto some other info for ya's......

I spent a few hours yesterday going back and labeling my posts so I could have a list of my projects made with specific cricut cartridges. So, on the right side of my blog there are now clickable links that will take you  directly to projects made with whatever cartridge you would like to see. The list is NOT complete as I have WAY more cartridges than are listed so far! I have a sickness, I admit it! ☺ I plan on trying to make and post a project from EVERY SINGLE ONE of my cartridges so that the list can be complete. PHEW I'm tired already! HA I am sad to admit that I have a few older cartridges that have never been used! That is PATHETIC! LOL So, I'm going to dust them off and give them their chance to shine in the glistening lime green glow of the cricut dude! ☺

Have a Fan-Flippin'-Tastic weekend!

Nikki

P.S. I am off to hobby lobby to get a few copies of Scrap and Stamp magazine because PeachyKeenStamps.com and the design team have a 2 page layout in it! How fun is that?! I am bursting at the seams with Peachy Pride! ☺

P.P.S. My friend Emma from MyCreativeTime announced her DVD today! Super duper fun! SO HAPPY FOR YOU MISS EMMA!!! ☺

Ok, for realsies...I'm really going shopping now. HAHAHAHA

Sweet Baby

Hello! My friend Beca has asked me to make her baby shower invites, and this is one idea I came up with this morning. I used the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge to cut out the adorable little giraffe. I made her a girl by giving her a pretty pink bow around her neck.

The patterned paper is from the Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl stack by K and Company. I swear the colors look much better in real life. The stamp is from PaperTreyInk.com.  REMINDER there is still time to enter for the $15 gift certificate to PeachyKeenStamps.com and the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge! Just leave a comment on the Blog Hop post for your chance to win. PLUS make sure you check back here tomorrow for yet another GIVEAWAY!

Have a cricut-tastic day!

What's Cookin'

Hey Ya'll! I used the Retro Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps again to make my cute little guy from the Block Party Cricut Lite cartridge. LOVE THESE FACES WITH THIS CARTRIDGE!!!!! Just a REALLY simple card, but I wanted to share it anyway!

I hope your week is off to a great start!!!!

Hugs!

Block Party Card

Happy Friday everyone! Cheers! I used the Block Party Cricut Lite cartridge to make this super simple card. I didn't even add a sentiment or any ribbon because I didn't want to take anything away from her super cute face! I used the Retro Paper Doll Face Assortment set from PeachyKeenStamps. I think they go PERFECTLY with this cartridge! ADORABLE!!!!

So I raise my glass to you! ;o) Cheers to a great weekend!

Clink Clink!

You are DYNOMITE

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you're having a GREAT day! I am happy to report that after 4 years of celebrating this day alone...I will NOT be alone next year! Woo Hoo for shore duty! Anyhoo, this is just a really quick card and it didn't turn out all that great, but I figured I'd post it anyway. I'm sending it to my sailor and I know he won't notice that it's not my greatest! LOL I used the Independence Day Seasonal Cricut cartridge for the firecracker, and used the Feeling Groovy Cricut Lite cartridge for the "dynomite".

Here's my Simba in his 4th of July vest! HAHAHA

And here are two of my Jinxy-Cedrika. Blurry cuz she is NEVER still!

My poor poor felines! LOL!!!! Their Grandma makes them all kinds of cute outfits! hahahaha Can you imagine if I had a little dog that LIKED being dressed up??!!! Look out Paris Hilton! HAHAHAHA

Happy 4th of July!!!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

Well, I told you there would be more variations on yesterday's card! ;o) I used the new Cherry Limeade Cricut Lite cartridge to make the cute glass of lemonade. This card is just so bright and summery! Pull the ribbon up...

BAM! Strawberry lemonade! Mmmmmm! I hope you all have a super SWEET summer day! See you later alligators! ;o)

Kool Mustache!

                                

Well, here it is, the card I told you I dreamed about. Get it? Kool-Aid Mustache! Hehehe I crack me up! I bought a TON of different flavors of Kool-Aid, so I will be making lots of variations on this card/treat. You just pull the ribbon up and BAM here comes some yummy fruity beverage mix!

The Kool-Aid stained stache is from the new Billionaire Cricut Lite cartridge. I bet Provo Craft didn't have a pink stache in mind when they made that cart! LOL!!! The cardstock is from PaperTreyInk.com and the patterned paper is from the Delovely collection by Cosmo Cricket. I hope you're having a great day! I am soooooooo looking forward to True Blood tonight!!!! ;o)

Kool-Aid Hugs!

Inching by just to say hi

Hello and Happy Saturday friends! I made today's card with the new Live Simply Cricut Lite cartridge. It has some super cute images on it! And never fear if you haven't been able to find any Lite carts at your Walmart, the 1st is almost upon us and they should ALL be stocked then! YEAH!!! Just a pretty basic card with TONS of faux stitching. I used the Critter Faces Small set from PeachyKeenStamps to stamp a little face for my flower. And, of course, I gave her a little bow in her "hair". The sentiment is from PaperTreyInk. And speaking of PTI, I will be getting a HUGE order in the mail from them this week. My UPS ship notification says the package weighs 16 pounds! ;o) That's a whole lotta papery/stampy/ribbony/twiny love to play with! I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend!!! I am off to shop for a few things to make a project I dreamed of last night...I thought it was so good I BOLTED out of bed and high tailed it to my sketch pad to get it down before wakefulness erased it from my memory. So, stay tuned for that! LOL I am sooooo weird, I know!

Happy Weekend!!!

PeachyKeen Challenge 31

Time for another PeachyKeen challenge! This time we have the above sketch to follow. Here is my take on the sketch........

I used my new B is for boy Cricut Lite cartridge to cut out the cute little alien dude. The scalloped circle is cut from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. I stamped my alien's face with the new Make a Monster Face set from PeachyKeenStamps.com. I gave him googlie eyes for the rest of his eyes that aren't stamped. Here is a side view so you can see the bling. ;o)

MEOW *lite* Cartridge "Friends Fur-ever"

Hello and Happy Sunday everyone! I am having so much fun playing with my 6 new Cricut Lite cartridges. Today's card was made with the Meow cartridge. I can't wait for the Gypsy update to come out...It took some strategic head chopping off to be able to stamp her face! AHHHHHHHH LOL I used the Princess Face Assortment and I think my little girl looks so sweet. :0)

I hope you're having a relaxing Sunday. I am anxiously awaiting a new episode of True Blood tonight! Anyone else addicted to that show? LOVE IT!

Sandpaper Kisses ;o)

Cricut Lite Mother Load!!!! oh, and a card ;o)

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY! I have to tell you that I had the best shopping day EVER! I had a dream last night that I had the Meow Cricut Lite cartridge, so when I woke up I took it as a sign to go cartridge hunting! And I hit the MOTHER LOAD at the second Walmart I went to. They had ALL 24 Lite cartridges!!! Some were totally gone, but ALL the ones that I wanted were there! YEAH! Soooooo...I got Live Simply, Meow, Billionaire, B is for boy, Sugar and Spice, and Cherry Limeade. The card I made today was made with the Live Simply cartridge. IT IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!! It was weird to actually put a cartridge in my Expression again...LOL...Can't wait for the Gypsy updates because I could've hidden contours and given the lil' hooter a super cute PeachyKeen Critter face! Well I hope you have a GREAT weekend! I will be having a blast with my new toys! My cricut will be getting a workout! ;o)

Hootie Hugs!
