Happy Easter

I love this darling sketch challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. I'm getting close to the deadline on this one but that is how my life goes sometimes.

I flipped the sketch on its side but kept everything else pretty close to the original.

I used several fun products on this cutie! The bunny is a Peachy Keen CottageCutz Die called Crunchin' Carrot Bunny. I've had it for a while and can't believe I haven't used it before. It is SUCH a cutie patootie bunny. I also used some My Creative Time products. The grass is the Stitched Grass Die (I'm SO glad to have that die - I was BEGGING Emma to make one for several MONTHS - thanks for giving in Emma). The awesome little egg dies and super cute sentiment are from the Hello Chickie stamp and die set by My Creative Time and the blue piece was cut using My Creative Time's Stitched 3x4 Journal Die. The papers are Core'dinations and Hootenanny by My Minds Eye.

I also wanted to link this cutie up to My Crafts Spots Cute Critter challenge because this bunny is definitely a cute critter if there ever was one. I hope you have a great one! Hugs- Glora

Happy Birthday Princess with BLING

Hi everyone, there is a new Designer's Challenge over at My Creative Time and we are using BLING for the challenge (glitter, gems, sequins, you name it). This was a fun challenge and I hope you will play along at My Creative Time.

I had WAY too much fun with the bling on this. I used the All Around Birthday Time for the crown and sentiment. I heat embossed the crown in silver. I added a little bit of stickles to the crown as well as some adhesive gems. I also used the Scallop and Stitched Circles by My Creative Time. The glittery pink and purple papers are by Core'dinations. The blue is by DCWV. I added a few sequins and gems at the bottom too. This is a super BLINGY and fun birthday card for a girl.

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog so you can join in this fun challenge too! Hugs- Glora

Thinking of You - Clean and Simple

Here I am with a CAS (clean and simple) thinking of you card.

The paper is all Core-dinations. And the cuts are from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The beautiful sentiment is from My Creative Time's Floral Sentiments stamp set. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card. Hugs- Glora

Now I'm Talking to the Sunbeams

I'm currently the volunteer Primary President, in charge of our church's children's organization - Sunday School instruction for young children ages 3-12. It can be challenging to coordinate the different teachers, classes, lessons, songs, and activities, but it is always rewarding!

Since this is the new year, the three-turning-four-year-old "Sunbeams" class is full of new and excited young ones who just graduated from the nursery (which is for the 18 months - 3 year old children). I made these shape cards, with a unique design for each youth, and wrote a welcome message for each child.

So no, I'm not going crazy. In this instance, talking to "Sunbeams" is perfectly normal!

Face: Peachy Keen Stamps - Happy Lashes

The sunshine comes from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I modified them in the Gypsy.

Face: Peachy Keen Stamps - Critter Faces XL

 Peachy Keen Stamps finish these off perfectly! And I'm also entering this in their Anything Goes challenge.

Face: Peachy Keen Stamps - Simple Simons

These cards fit perfectly inside of Emma's 3x3 Fancy Envelope Die. I love that thing, it is perfect for all my 3x3 notecards.

Face: Peachy Keen Stamps - Basic Paper Doll Faces

Incidentally, the class name of "Sunbeam" comes from both St. Matthew 5:16 ("Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.") and their class song (lyrics below). What better group to represent these values than 3-and-4-year-olds?!

Face: Peachy Keen Stamps - Critter Faces XL

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

Words by Nellie Talbot, © Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,

To shine for him each day;

In every way try to please him,

At home, at school, at play.

Chorus

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

I'll be a sunbeam for him.

2. Jesus wants me to be loving

And kind to all I see,

Showing how pleasant and happy

His little one can be.

Repeat Chorus

I hope you enjoy all the projects today and end up feeling inspired and thankful. You should have arrived here from Raven Baca's blog but if not make sure that you start back at the Peachy Keen Stamps blog so you don't miss out on anything.

For my project I made a thankful banner:

I know it looks small here but the pilgrims are actually over 12" tall. I used the new 4" Everyday Character Faces for these cuties and I think I am in LOVE. I'm SO thankful that Kathy made these.

Here are some close ups:

The cute pilgrims come from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge and are extra cute because of their Peachy faces. Here is the boy:

The banner pieces and letters are all cut from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge:

I have so much to be thankful for. I have a beautiful family and a strong faith. We are truly blessed, I could could go on and on but I know you will want to keep hopping along.

Core'dinations and Peachy Keen Stamps Blog Hop Day 2

Hello and welcome to the Core'dinations and Peachy Keen Stamps Blog Hop. If you came here from Lydia's blog you are in the right spot, if not make sure to start back at the Peachy Keen Stamps blog so you can get the full hop in.

I was excited to participate in this hop because I love both Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock and Peachy Keen Stamps. In fact so much so that I got a little carried away and made a gift box filled with 6 birthday cards. Every piece of paper on this post is by Core'dinations and there are lots of Peachy Keen Stamps and sentiments all over on here too.

This is the gift box:

Aren't those cupcakes sweet? I paper pieced them and they are from the April 2012 SKOTM. The sentiment is from the With a Cherry on Top stamp set and the faces are the 1 1/8" Cherub Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. I added some Stickles and some hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and all of the paper is by Core'dinations (some of the paper is pre-embossed polka dot paper in a small and large polka dot, it is SO pretty).

Here is a different angle on the box:

When you open up the box there are 6 A2 (4.25"x 5.5") sized birthday cards and envelopes.

I'm not going to go into detail on each of these cards except to tell you which Peachy Keen stamp sets I used. I don't want to keep you too long. However, over the next few weeks I will be occasionally showing one of these cards and giving you the full details as to cartridges, embossing folders, stamps and other supplies used. 

For the bee I used Snow Cuties for the face and Bee Happy for the sentiment.

I used the June 2012 SKOTM for the sentiment on the bird card and the bird's eye is from the Baby Animal Faces.

For the bear card I used the Here Kitty Kitty faces and the sentiment is from the Fairy Miny Set stamp set.

For the alligator I used a sentiment from the June 2012 SKOTM and the face is from the Funshine Faces Side Views.

The sentiments on both of these comes from the June 2012 SKOTM. The frog face is from the Baby Animal Faces stamp set and the turtle face is from the Snow Cuties stamp set.

I am the last stop on the hop and I hope you have had fun. Make sure to enter the Rafflecopter drawing at Peachy Keen Stamps and the Core'dinations blog for a chance to win one of these awesome prizes, you have until Sunday, June 10th at 11:59 pm (EST) to enter for these prizes:

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #14 - Color Inspiration

*** If you are looking for the My Creative Time April Release Blog Hop scroll down or click HERE ***

Hello Peachy Keen fans and welcome to another Color Inspiration Challenge. Isn't this a fun and bright color combination? The brightly colored balloons are what started me off on my take on this challenge.

I always need birthday cards and I wanted another excuse to use the new Here Kitty Kitty face stamps so this is what I came up with.

I used the April SKOTM for the sentiment. I did LOTS of inking on EVERYTHING and added lots of little faux stitching. I accented the hat with a little pearl and the balloons with some twine strings.

I hope you are having a terrific day and I hope you will be able to come and play in the Color Inspiration Challenge with us. Make sure to check out the PKS Challenge blog so you can see what everyone came up with. These ladies are AMAZING! Hugs- Glora

3D Wednesday with My Creative Time

*If you are looking for the Simply Crafts Challenge scroll down or click HERE*


Welcome My Creative Time friends to another 3D Wednesday. Today I am going to feature one of Emma's newest Valentine sets called Classmate Valentines. I just love this set to pieces. It is going to be SO perfect for making Valentine's with my girls for their friends, cousins and classmates.

For my project today I have made a couple of heart favor boxes. The first one is a darling little bear.

These little containers are the perfect size for 2 or 3 little bags on M&M's or Skittles. The container comes from the Tags Bags and Boxes Cricut cartridge. I used my Gypsy to size these at 11.5" wide and I was able to fit two heart containers on a piece of 12 x 12 cardstock. I used the Classmate Valentine set along with Emma's darling Scallop and Stitched Circle Die set and then tied it off with a pretty piece of twine.

My second one is almost identical except that I used the darling little kitty and its coordinating sentiment:

I hope you enjoyed today's project. These would be super fast and easy to mass produce and make with your kids too. Make sure to drop by Emma's blog and see what she and the rest of the design team came up with too! I know there will be tons of beautiful inspiration! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Pin the Bee on the Flower Game

Hello crafting friends! Sorry it has been so long since my last post, life has just been BUSY! I did want to share with you a game that I put together for my daughter's birthday party yesterday. She wanted everything to have a FLOWER theme so we thought a fun game of pin the bee on the flower would be fun. It was a hit with the girls. This is also my entry for the Let's Face it Friday challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. We were supposed to use material in our project.

Here is the whole flower...

I used a strip of green material for the stem but everything else is cut out of paper.

Here is a close up of the flower and the bees...

Anyway, I hope you like it! All the pieces were cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The flower was cut at about 11.5" and the bees were about 1.75" each. I used the darling Critter Faces in the Small size for all of the bees. And the flower center is a Basic Paper Doll Face.

I hope to be back on here before Christmas, but if not I would like to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Hugs- Glora

MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 9

Hello friends and welcome to the 9th day of Emma's 12 Days of Christmas. If you arrived here from the talented Cindy's blog you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start at Emma's blog.

Today I have ANOTHER simple project for you. A few weeks ago I saw a project on one of my favorite crafter's blogs, Lorie of The Thinkin' Spot. She made this little honeycomb type ornament for the front of a card. After looking over her tutorial HERE, I figured you could make these out of just about anything that is symmetrical in shape. From there I got the idea to make Emma's darling little Scalloped Circle into some easy, but cute ornaments for my girl's mini Christmas tree. Once again, for a tutorial on how to make these just click HERE to go to Lorie's awesome project. And thanks for the inspiration Lorie!

Anyway super simple but kind of fun. I used about 9 scalloped circles for each ornament, but you can alter that depending on how full you want it to be.

MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 5

Hello friends. I just got back from Disneyland and so I'm just joining in the fun of Emma's 12 Days of Christmas. If you arrived here from Cindy's blog you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start at Emma's blog.

Today I have a super simple project to share but a great one to make if you have little kids. It is a countdown to Christmas paper chain.

I always used to make these when I was a little kid and my children love them too. All I did was take 2 (12x12) sheets of glittery Core'dinations cardstock. I cut each sheet into 1" strips. Next I looped and stapled the first piece into a chain, then I linked the second one through the first one and stapled it. I continued linking and stapling until I had a link for each of the days until Christmas. I used the little starburst from the Build a Banner kit by My Creative Time as well as the numbers off of the All Around Birthday Time stamp set to finish off my countdown chain.
