Happy Happy Days ~ Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge

Hello Again! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

I haven't been able to play along in many challenges lately and was so excited to have a little time to put a super quick card together.

The Let's Face It Friday Challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog is to make something that whips up your imagination. For this challenge you must use Peachy Keen face stamps.

I saw this whimsical frame on the Live Simply Cricut Lite cartridge and just had to use it to create a shaped card.

As I said I used Live Simply Cricut Lite to create the base of my card. I welded 2 shadows of the frame together in my Gypsy then cut all the layers.

The sun is from Doodlecharms and the clouds are from Create A Critter.

I stamped the sun with my Peachy Keen Stamps. This face is from PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment. I used my white gel pen to add a few accents. Ranger Glossy Accents were added to the eyes for a nice shine and added dimension.

I ran the clouds through my Cuttlebug using the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. The edges were inked with Martha Stewart pigment ink.

My patterned paper is from Echo Park's Happy Days line. Foam tape was used to pop up the sun and clouds.

My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Sweet Somethings" set.

That's it! Thank you for visiting today!

Bundle of Joy Layout

Hi Everyone! It's me again! This is my second post for today. :)

If you are looking for the Fantabulous Cricut "Share the Love" Crawl click HERE.
For the Flaunt It Fridays "Paper Doll" Blog Hop click HERE.

Today is design team day at 40:31 Creations. There are 5 fabulous stamps sets created by Lauren and there will be soon, and I mean very soon, to be released sets on the horizon. These stamps are of high quality and stamp so crisp and clean. I love them.

Our project for today was to make a layout. Now, as many of you know from following my blog, I really don't do layouts. In fact, I have only ever done one before so... this is a struggle for me. I love that I am being stretched creatively. My vision I had at first is nothing like what I ended up creating but all I can say is that I LOVE the end result. 

Isn't this adorable! The picture is of my oldest daughter. She is about to turn 16 in a few weeks. Time sure does fly! Ok, on to the details:

Cricut Cartridges ~ New Arrival, airplane and banner with all the layers, Pooh and Friends, butterfly and layers, Smiley Cards, flowers and all the layers. I hid the faces on these using my Gypsy. Plantin Schoolbook to add a tiny rectangle to the stems of the flowers to make them longer. I welded these together in my Gypsy. Zooballoo for the grass. I also used my Gyspy here to weld 2 pieces together to make it long enough to fit across my 12 x 12 mat.

40:31 Creations ~ New Baby stamps.

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8 and PK-754 Critter Faces Set A Medium

White and Black Gelly Roll Pens for doodling.

White pigment ink ~ I used this to sponge on my background to give the look of clouds. It's very subtle.

Foam tape and ATG

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you visit 40:31 Creations to see what my fellow designers have created today. You will not be disappointed. You can check out Lauren's stamps HERE.

Happy Crafting!

I will be submitting this for The Pink Stamper challenge because it makes me smile! :)

Happy Monday, my crafty friends!

It's "Challenge Me Monday" over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! Today's challenge is a "Neglected Cartridge" challenge. Use a cartridge that you have neglected to use in the last 6 months. Well, I don't know about you but I have several that I have not used as much as I thought or not at all! I chose to use 3Birds on Parade. I purchased this cartridge several months ago and had not used it once. This card also features the new stamp set from 40:31 Creations. Can I just tell you how much I love these stamps! They stamp beautifully and so crisp! Erin has several sets that are available for preorder so make sure you check them out. You can view them HERE.

Now, on to my card:

I just love this card! In fact, my  husband commented on how cut it came out and he rarely pays attention to what I make.

Here's is what I used to make this card:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Twinkle Toes for the card base and its layers, 3 Birds On Parade for the bird and its layers, Simply Charmed for the red heart box, Home Decor for the branch, and Create A Critter for the hearts on the branch. I had those left over from another project.

40:31 Creations Stamps ~ Love, I used 2 stamps from this set, one for the sentiment and one for my heart.

Cardstock ~ Recollections and Martha Steward

Googly Eye

White Gelly Roll Pen

Pop Dots, Glue Dots, and ATG

Now it's your turn. Go over to Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and check out what all the other designers have to inspire you. Then dust off those neglected cartridges and join us in the challenge.

Happy Crafting!
