Craft it up & Link it up linky party

 






Hello everyone, I just want to say I am honored to be
posting as Guest Designer for
Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party
hosted by the sweet and talented  Tara of Craftin Desert Divas!


Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new, semi-weekly Linky Party and you could win fabulous prizes!!



This linky party theme is a fun Peacock Hues Color Challenge
 
I loved the colors in this challenge and they were perfect for the new release that we are sharing with you this month :)    I have never made anything that I actually tore the paper on , but I saw a sketch over at Scrapbook.com and thought I would give it a try!
This is what I came up with
 
Since I have the imagine it was pretty easy to print the papers to match the colors and the circle is my new MS circle punch. I cut the flowers, leaves and the borders on my cameo and embossed them. Then I added the gorgeous stick pin and fabric covered button along with some crinkle ribbon that I made to match. the butterfly is from a CTMH stamp set and I printed the words out on my computer :)
 
AND

Pinque Peacock is also the proud Sponsor this week!
You could win a $25 Gift Certificate to the
Pinque Peacock SHOP

So hop on over and link up your creation to try and win this awesome prize!!

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good morning, evening or night depending on where you are lol :)

We have  a challenge going on over at Red Carpet Studio this week and it is a pretty simple one. Our challenge is inspired by Movie frames :) All you have to do is frame your picture in your layout super simple!

My layout is of my daughter when we went to Disney we got several pictures with the princesses and went to one of the character breakfasts and this is one of the pictures we took while we were there.

I used papers from a disney pack that I bought at Hobby lobby, and cut out the circle frame and the  title with my cricut  and  then added flowers with some bling centers :)
 
Our sponser for this week is
 5 digital images of winner's choice
 
 
They have some really cute digital images to choose from so get your layout submitted and you may be the lucky winner!

Stilletto anyone??

Hello my wonderful friends! Thank you so much for stopping by :)

     It is my turn to post my wonderful Pinque Peacock project for you today.  I had quite a few credits at the Silhouette store that are about to expire, so while I was browsing around. I came across this beauty...

This is  a close up of the beautiful button :)









It was way to cute not to buy and I knew I could dress it right up with some Peacock goodness and make it even more prettier than it already was :) Nothing like adding a little personalization to your wardrobe hehe.  I used one of the Pinque Peacock fabric covered buttons, some ribbon from 3 girl jam and a string of pearls to add an extra flair to it.

   Have a great day!!

Senior pic

Hi and welcome! I'm glad you stopped by :)

      We have a challenge starting today at Red Carpet Studio and it is one that I am sure most of us can relate to if your anything like me that is hehe.

     Our challenge is  Inspired by film reels... use ribbon on your layout, now I am totally addicted to ribbon. I can't seem to go to the craft store without buying some kind of ribbon! So, this challenge was right up my alley :-D I decided to finally scrap one of my daughter's senior pictures from last year. I loved the picture and decided to bring the colors from it onto my page.


      I  am not totally happy with my layout but it's close to what I wanted. I wanted to tweak it a little, especially the ribbon on the bottom. Not quite liking the way it looks crinkled up on the end and where it comes off the orange paper :( but, life kinda got in the way and I didn't get to re-do the parts I didn't like. That happens sometimes and I guess I need to stop being such a hard critic on myself LOL.


    I did however like the little flowers that I made out of the ribbon that I used on the bottom :) I have never made those before , but thought they turned out pretty well for my first time! I used several different things on this layout. I used some TH ink and the dream ticket ,  the We are Memory keepers Deco and Stub punch, liquid pearls and perfect pearls.



   Our sponser this week is  LoveBug Creations - http://lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com/
 and they are offering the winner their choice of 12 yard set of ribbon


 You have until the 24th to link up your creation to win this awesome prize! Head on over to RCS and show us your fabulous layout with ribbon. Such an easy challenge and you could win my favorite embellishment RIBBON hehe. I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

 
Have a great day!

March Calendar

Good morning and welcome! I am really glad you stopped by today.

    I am so excited to share with you a project that I made using the awesome goodness that is made at the Pinque Peacock!!

   I am on a facebook group called Play Along and we have challenges just for fun and one of them was to make Calendar pages...so I made a calendar page for March and added the cute little felt purple popper (say that 3 time fast hehe!!) with the beautiful covered button in the middle:)

 I loved how it tied in with the purple shamrocks on my paper. I have never really made calendar pages before, but I can see me making more of these! Just a little something different and I can leave it out during the month so that I have something to look at to keep up with the date..Bonus!! Then when the month is over I can add a picture from that month and add it to my scrapbook lol.


    This little felt flower is just one of the beautiful things that you can get over at the Pinque Peacock:) They have fabric covered buttons, felt flowers, fabric flowers, pins and custom order bracelets. Just to name a few!! You really do need to hop on over and check it out!! Nothing but happy goodness over there :D

I am entering this project into the Craftin Desert Diva's linky party anything goes here :)

  Thank you so much for joining me today!
