SPS Blog Hop - Sympathy Cards


***Note: I am SOOO sorry, but I am getting super spammed with super bad stuff. So I have turned on word verification TEMPORARILY and will be taking it down in a week or two - hopefully weeding out the anonymous spammers. I hope you understand! I personally hate word verification, so it won't be up long!***



I'm not sure if you read but our fearless leader Denine had a super sad tragedy in her life - her father in law very suddenly passed away from an accident. So she is gone in India to pay her respects and to mourn with the family. We decided to have our blog hop anyway and to inspire you with sympathy cards which we are sending to Denine.


You should have gotten here from Diana's Blog! If not, start HERE at the beginning at the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog! 



Recipe:





I am the last stop on the hop anyway so head on back to the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog if you didn't start there! :)

Happy Birthday Malakai!

This is my post for Pumpkin Spice today!!!

I made this for our Godson's 2nd birthday!!! He is turning two on the 23rd our time, the 24th his time (he was born at 12:09 I think - or 12:06 in Ohio so I like to say his birthday is on the 23rd. :) It drives his parents - my best friend Kourt - crazy! :) 

WE WILL SO miss not being with him for his second birthday, but I know there will be many more chances to celebrate him as the years go on. Then again, every day is a day to celebrate a child. 

Here is a pic of him!  Oh come on - SO adorable!!!


Here is his birthday card!


Recipe:





I based of the sketch from My Mind's Eye HERE. There is still time to play along with them! :)

I made the banner for the 4th of July of course, but wanted to share it with you anyway.


And the last project was for a friend's set of twins for the road trips this summer. They were going to drive all over the place and I thought this could keep them entertained for a bit! I also wanted to leave room on each page for them to write down some of the special things that they "spied".

Happy 4th of July!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

I made this banner because I got the wonderful American Made Collection by My Mind's Eye in the mail and had to make something for this holiday!

The thing I loved about this collection is that while I was going through it, I was imagining boy cards, man cards, shorts on paper dolls, quilted patterns, and many more. This is not just for this holiday, it's a great pack of papers for all kinds of cards!

You can click on the banner picture to make it larger. :) 




Recipe:


This also qualifies for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge - to make a project for the 4th of July!
I also just realized that this qualifies for the Off the Wall Craftiness Challege here:

red, white, and some kind of blue

This is what we have been doing so far this weekend! An oak tree fell down in my grandmother's yard (no damage thank goodness) and we have been splitting a QUARTER of the wood that fell and was brought over! It took 4.5 hours over two days of at least 4 people splitting and stacking. Two of those woodpiles were there, but we built the other 3.5! This is 6 year old Dante under very close supervision learning how to use the splitter - and loving it!





After a hard day's work..


Then we went to Sardine Factory for some Abalone Bisque and then to Spanish Bay (the place where Hans proposed!) to listen to the bagpipers and watch the sunset! It was such a lovely evening!




Today we will be going downtown to get some ribs and deep-fried artichoke hearts (my nemesis). I hope you have something super fun planned!

Honey Bee Showcase- Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

This week at Betty Bee's Buzz Amy Sheffer is our guest designer! She made a GORGEOUS balloon card! She also got to pick the theme for this week and she chose... Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. 

Amy Sheffer is a good friend of my friend June (also a HoneyBee) and I am thrilled that June set this up because Amy's card is just gorgeous and her talent is fabulous. 

I have to admit I was STOKED about this challenge. I laid everything out that I wanted to use and realized... there was no blue. haha! So I started again and I'm very happy at where the card evolved to. 

 Old: old script writing
New: the crinkled ribbon is brand new and I LOVE it!
Borrowed: a sketch from Artful Delight AND the idea of having the flowers overlap like that from Melinda Spinks HERE
Blue: background paper

It is based on this sketch here:

Recipe:




Play along this week to win a prize! :) There are SO many takes on this challenge and it's a really fun one. So have a blast and join us! :)

PKS Guest Designer - Woodland Themed Party - Thank You


Day 4 already...?... Thank you SO much for all of the support you have shown for my Woodland Critter Party Theme! I am so glad you all are enjoying it!

Naturally you need THANK YOU NOTES as guests are always so generous! So wouldn't this be a fun one to show up in the mail? 

OUT FOR PUBLICATION! :) 



I used the Critter Faces again - PK-755:


Recipe:



I have SUCH a huge treat for you today in the way of the prize you can win. When I went to CHA in January I stayed with Robyn (My Pink Stamper), Karlee, and Tammy Skinner (Creative Critters Cricut Club) -  names you probably know. But I also stayed with two fabulous blog-less ladies (we keep trying to get them to start blogs!!!) who are best friends with Tammy. Angela and Myrel.

Now, they are both extremely talented and Myrel makes Gypsy bags!!! They are SO adorable. This is the one she made for me (I JUST LOVE IT) and it's on its way to me right now so that is not my Gypsy, it's Myrel's.

My Gypsy (named Benjamin Franklin because I bought it for $100) has a green cover - and you know how I feel about green - so Myrel made me this one with the green wording!! Benjamin is going to feel SO loved in this! Isn't this the cutest thing that you ever did see???


Now, she has offered to make one for one of YOU!!! I couldn't be more excited about this giveaway! THANK YOU MYREL!!! If you aren't the super lucky person who wins this gift, then you can contact Myrel at myrelf@aol.com about ordering one for yourself. 

Remember to leave a comment! Join me tomorrow for the project that definitely took the longest to make!

PKS Guest Designer - Woodland Themed Party - Favors

Hello again out there in bloggy world! This is day 2 of 5 for my Peachy Keen Guest Design Week.

Part 2 of our Woodland Party Theme this week is FAVORS! Every party needs favors! I always try to think of something that's inexpensive and still personable. Read further to see what I made this out of!!!

This idea came from my good friend June (who doesn't remember saying this) but I was bouncing ideas off her and she said "log" and I thought "toilet paper roll"! Okay, so they don't seem like they should go together, but they do!!! I'll show you!!! 

OUT FOR PUBLICATION! :) 



That, my friends, is a toilet paper roll covered in paper and embellished. The ribbon tied around it will keep any candy inside of the log! How good would this look with gummy worms coming out! Okay, maybe that's just me, but I think it would!

I used the PK490 Everyday Character Face Assortment on my mushrooms.


Recipe:
Paper: My Mind's Eye: Stella and Rose: Mabel "Joy" Woodgrain Paper™, My Mind's Eye: Fine and Dandy: True Blue "Splendid" Paper™
Cardstock: Paper Trey Ink (Pure Poppy and Stamper's Select White) and Cricut Earthtones (greens)
Ribbon: Paper Trey Ink: Pure Poppy Saddlestitch™
White Gel Pen
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro™
i-bond by Imaginisce™ (cordless glue gun)
(for the cheeks) Design Memory Craft: Mix and Match Sampler™


Design Memory Craft contacted me and offered to send me product and offered two giveaways if I would review their product! Today I used their Gelato that was included in the Mix and Match Sampler for the cheeks of my mushrooms. I used the blender that comes in their essentials kit to blend out the cheeks. I really liked the result!

This is what the Mix and Match sampler looked like that they are going to give away to two of you!

This is what the Color Gelatos and Clear Stamp set looks like that they are also going to give away to two of you!

There is a LOT more to play with that they sent me, but this week, I will be using them on Peachy Keen Critters. Going forward, I can see a lot more uses for these and will share with you as I go along. If you would like to read more about their products and the company (which just launched at CHA in January) then go HERE.

Now, don't forget that I am giving away a set of Critter Faces in MEDIUM  this week but I won't tell you what post it is going to be on! :) I am also giving away TWO sets of the Design Memory Craft: Mix and Match Sampler as well as the Color Gelatos and Clear Stamp! I think you're getting the drill by now! Just leave me a comment on my blog all week and I will draw a random winner of this FABulous set!!!

Check the post I left earlier for another giveaway opportunity for Imaginisce goodies! Just leave a comment on every post this week between Monday and Friday and you will have amazing chances to win things!

Also, if you feel so inclined to put my blinkie on your blog, I would be thrilled! :)

I am celebrating my one year blogaversary this week so make sure to leave comments every day as there are many prizes to be won!!! Thank you so much to Peachy Keen for having me this week and I am really looking forward to sharing with you these projects!

I wanted to do something different here and right when I found out I was accepted I knew I was going to do a themed birthday party! I chose Woodland Critters for the theme so I hope you enjoy getting an idea of what your party could look like if you did it yourself! 

Of course every party starts out with an INVITATION!

For this card, I wanted the bee to be buzzing by someone's house (hence the potted plants) to invite them to the woods! So I wanted to blend the two ideas. I hope you like it!
