Stand Under My Umbrella...and GIVEAWAYS to celebrate 1,000 + and Ustream info

Hey everyone! Today is my design team day for Sarah {Pink Cricut}. She just released 6 new stamp sets, and they all totally ROCK! For my card I used Smiley Cards for the card base. The umbrella image is from Designers Calendar. I cut it twice in teal and once in white so I could cut it up and layer it.

I used my favorite Martha Stewart glitter and the addition of the PERFECT sentiment completes my card. This sentiment is from the Spring has Sprung set from PinkByDesign.

Tonight's Ustream with Emma has been bumped up 15 minutes so that we can all go hear Megan's {AboveRubiesStudio} fun news on her Ustream too!!! Gotta ♥ bloggy ♥

Feliz Navidad

Hola! When I got the new Say It In Spanish stamp set from PinkByDesign and saw the "Feliz Navidad" sentiment I immediately thought...SANTA WITH A SOMBRERO!!!! ☺ The Santa I used is from the Simply Charmed cartridge. His face is from the Christmas Character Face Assortment from PeachyKeenStamps.com. I masked off the glasses on the face because I wanted to give him a stache from the Billionaire cartridge. ☺

His sombrero is from the Designers Calendar cartridge. Oh, and I used a wobble to attach his head...so he looks like maybe he has been drinking something a little stronger than milk with his cookies! HAHAHA...or should I say HO HO HO???!!!! I crack me up! Adios mi amigas y amigos ☺

Shades of Autumn

Hello! Sorry for my lack of posts for the past week, but I have been a busy beaver working on SUPER FUN stuff for this week's PeachyKeen sneak peeks! Seriously, the ADORABLE factor of this release is off the charts!!! Anyhoo, I made this super simple card using the Designers Calendar cricut cartridge for the leaf. See, I'm still making good on my bid to use ALL my cartridges! ☺

I ran the leaf through my cuttlebug in the textile folder. The sentiment is from the Bountiful Blessings set from PinkByDesign. I hope your week is off to a great start! I am off to keep on making Peachy projects!!! ☺ Remember, sneak peeks start TOMORROW!!!! Yeah!!!!! My day is Wednesday!!!
