Special Delivery Shadow Box

I have always wanted to make shadow boxes for my kids from when they were born. I got the perfect chance to start with the latest challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/

The challenge was to create a layout for a shadowbox, so I chose to do one for my middle son Drew. I used my Peachy Keen Stamps "Critter Faces Set A Medium" stamp set. I totally love these stamps. If any of you have the Create a Critter or Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge, you should definitely look into getting a set. The images on the cartridges are cute already, but adding the faces just gives it even more cuteness (is that a word?)

I used the Create a Critter cartridge for all three animals and the title. I used Plantin' Schoolbook for the grass.

I added Drew's first pair of shoes! Sooooo cute - I can't believe his feet were ever that small! I even found the identification label for his hospital bassinet. Notice, they used a girl one and crossed out the word "GIRL" and wrote "BOY" - must have been a lot of boys born at that time, they ran out of boys cards.

Well, I love how this turned out, so I will be creating a similar project for each of my other two babies! Hope you like this one, thanks for stopping by!

Ewe're One of a Kind

Hi everyone! Today my daughter (who is 6)and I have been creating in our craft room. I am taking part in Emma's first challenge over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/
The task is to create a project using an animal image. Jenae decided she wanted to make something too! I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge for my sheep and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the grass. I used my new Peachy Keen Critter Faces for the large sheep then wished I had bought the small ones too because the faces were too big for the little sheep ( I am NOT a good artist lol). I used the Tiny Typewriter Alphabet by Close to My Heart to make the sentiment. You can't really see it in the photo, but I rubbed stickles over the grass cut out and over the top of the ribbon. Hope you like it!
Now for my daughter's project. On the front cover she cut out a drawing she made of our yorkie Parker. On the inside of the card she used Create a Critter to cut out the dog and then stamped a face on him with the PK critter faces set. Then she added a photo of him! She is so proud of her handiwork and I'm so proud of her! She hopes everyone likes it and she really hopes we win the challenge!

My Pink Stamper NSD #11

For this challenge we had to create a project using the colours of the rainbow. I tried out my brayer for the first time to make the background on glossy cardstock, then used the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge for the kitty shape and Plantin Schoolbook for the grass trim. Hope you like it!
