Peachy Keen Guest Designer, Day 1

Hi all!  Today is my first day as Guest Designer for Peachy Keen Stamps and I am SO EXCITED!  I am so honored to be chosen as one of the guest designers for the year.  I absolutely LOVE Peachy Keen Stamps as I am sure that most of you do too!  I also love the fact that they are made right here in the midwest not too far from where I am outside of Chicago.  It's always good to support product that is made in the USA!
  
Anyway, let's get on with my first project.  So last week I was out with a friend at a local mall and I literally gasped (!) when I saw the Christmas decorations and Christmas trees in the windows of Macy's.  Didn't we just end summer?  Is it technically even Fall yet?  I couldn't believe what I was seeing!  So as I started thinking of what I wanted to make for this week I thought all I would make would be Fall themed project to keep with the season BUT I just got the CUTEST little elves stamps (Lauri and Skip) from Peachy Keen Stamps and thought I HAD to use them in a project!  I hope all of you aren't too shocked to see a few Christmas projects from me this week as I was to see the Christmas trees at Macy's.  I just couldn't resist doing something with these!  The photo is one of my adorable children from a few years ago.  I love how this scrapbook page came out:-)

Supplies Used:

Paper: All the paper used is Stampin UP!, Old Olive, Real Red, and a retired Christmas DSP

Ink: Stampin UP! Real Red for shading around the ornaments

Cricut Lyrical Letters for the wording

I colored the cute little Elves with my Copics

In honor of my week at Peachy Keen Stamps, PKS has generously donated the Make a Monster Face Assortment set as a giveaway.  

All you have to do to be entered to win this set is to comment on this post and also pop on over to to the PKS blog, http://peachykeenstamps.blogspot.com/, and make a comment as well.  I will be posting every day this week and the more you comment, the more chances you have to enter!  This set is perfect for all those fun Halloween projects.  I just might have a project coming up using this very set soon:-)  Take care and thanks soooo much for visiting me!

Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone!  Welcome to the Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop.  If you came here from Julie over at Cricut Chick, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened upon my blog today and want to start at the beginning, please go back to Andrea at Andrea's Coffee Time.
I signed up for this blog hop as a chance to again step out of my box and hopefully make some cards for women who are going through a tough time.  I plan to take the cards I make from this hop and mail them off to someone who is collecting cards for women with breast cancer.  This disease affects so many and has affected women in my family in the past.  I am hoping that maybe this card will bring some joy to a women who really needs it.
This card was made with a new beautiful stamp set from Monica over at Stampin Daisies called Hope.  Monica just released a bunch of new sets so if you get a chance, take a peak on over there and check them out.  There are some really cute ones!  The address is http://stampindaisies.com/.  I also used a Market Street stamp for the "Believe" sentiment on the bottom.

Thank you all so much for visiting today!  This is the last stop on the hop:-).  I hope you enjoyed it and have a great day!!

Disney/Pixar Blog Hop Day 2

Hi all and welcome to the 2nd day of the Disney/Pixar Blog Hop if you just came here from Jenny's blog over Jenny's Scrapbooking Haven then you are in the right place, if not and you would like to start at the beginning, head on over to Shawn's blog at Crafty Chics.
I love this hop!  It's definetly one of my favorite hops to be in and to look through as I love Disney!  We just got back from a trip to Disneyland (AWESOME) last month and I have over 350 photos from it, this is AFTER I went through them all and got rid of the ones I didn't want!  I have a lot of scrapbooking to do!  Anyway for my project today I am going to show you the two autograph books I made for my kids to take to Disney.
Here is my Daughter's book.  Belle is one of her favorite princesses so I thought I would put her on the cover.
I kept the design super simple and she absolutely loved it!  I plan to add the photo into the books once I get them printed:-).

 Here is a close up of Belle.  It's so hard to get these princesses all put together sometimes.  I added some ink around the outside of her hair for dimension and some chalking on her cheeks.  The font is from the Mickey Font cartridge.  I modge podged the cover, back cover, and inside cover to make sure everything stayed put.

 This is my son's book.  He absolutely loves Cars so I put Lightning McQueen on the front for him from the Cars Cartridge.  I added the little road from some paper I had and used the Mickey Font again for the Autograph book title.  He loved his book too!

We had a blast in Disneyland and hopefully for the next hop (hint, hint:-)) I will get some photos of some scrapbook pages I made from it:-)

I do have a little giveaway for you today.  I am giving away a set of stamps from Stampin Daisies called Ocean Buddies.  I love these stamps, click here to see some projects I made with them. Monica (the owner) is coming out with a whole new release soon.  You can check out her current line of stamps here.   In order to win these stamps you must leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about Disney:-).  I will draw a winner Wednesday morning, Sept 28th so you have until Tuesday evening to comment.  Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Your next stop is Cathy over at Creative Cutter.
