It's Your Birthday!

Hello! Today I played with some of the new release from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped and paper pieced the balloons from the new September 2014 set from PeachyKeenStamps. The greeting is also from the September 2014 set. 

I paper pieced the octopus from the June 2013 set by PeachyKeenStamps. I ♥ that octopus so much! Her cutie face is from the brand new Variety Faces 1 1/8 set from PeachyKeenStamps. So cute! :)

Hello! I am super excited to announce that I am now on The Scrapping Cottage design team. They are a great company that sell ADORABLE dies! For my card today, I used the Kitty Princess die. Cute or what??!!! I know if you already follow me you're probably thinking...um, Nikki haven't we seen you do this ribbon technique like infinity times??!!! LOL I wanted to show my "style" for my first posting on The Scrapping Cottage Blog.

Thinking of You

Hello and Happy Friday! I don't usually post personal stuff on here, but if you're the praying kind, we could sure use your prayers! My Father in law had a stroke on Sunday and was then admitted to a rehab facility to get better, but then he suffered a seizure and ended up back in the ICU. He is currently on a ventilator, which they say is sort of a preventative measure, but it is nevertheless terrifying! So, if you care to add him to your prayers, that would be greatly appreciated! Now, back to the craftiness! ;o) I made him a get well card, but haven't posted it....I will be sending this to my Mom in law as a little encouragement...I used the Lacy Labels Cricut Lite cartridge for this card. That cartridge is just downright GORGEOUS! I love love love it!

Just a simple card. I added some pretty prima flowers, and gave the button centers. All papers are from PaperTreyInk.com. Well, I hope that you and yours have a FANTASTIC 4th of July weekend! Later Alligators!

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)
