Hoppy Easter Card!

For my post today I've made a 'Hoppy Easter' card.  I couldn't find the stamp that I wanted so I decided to just write it in.  My son keeps telling me I need to use my own writing on things I make, so figured why not on a card.

So for my 'Hoppy Easter' card I used only things I had on hand, still keeping to my use up what I've already got and not buy anything new.  I used 3 of the 3/4' fabric covered buttons from Pinque Peacock, love the colors, here's a close-up!

Here is the completed card, the bunny is a small Sizzix die.

Thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it.  

Starting On Easter Early This Year!

I started out with this mini-album and then it's card time next.  I love these fuzzy yellow fabric covered buttons, they're so fun and the stick pins are so pretty.   I'm going to make my grandsons Easter cards this year and may just make them with yellow bunnies and use these as the tails, bet they'd be super cute as bunny tails.

Still in the using up what I've got mode, so the paper and cut-outs are TLC, an actual Easter kit.  Do love the paper colors though, guess I'm just ready for spring colors.

Here is the mini-album, also TLC, I just love the style.  Sorry about the shadows, my craft room doesn't have great lighting.  I use the EK Success glass mat for everything, love it!!

Here is a close-up of the fuzzy yellow Fabric Covered Button, so cute!

The Pinque Peacock Stick Pins are so pretty, use them on almost everything!

So here is the whole outside of the mini-album and may replace the metal rings with ribbon or just tie ribbon onto them eventually, haven't decided as yet.  lol

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you enjoyed my Easter Mini-Album!

If you came over from Marji's blog then you're in the right place!

For my project I did a Party Mini-Album that I've had since I was with Top Line Creations (TLC).  It's a cute kit and adding the new Pinque Peacock items just makes it pop!

This is one of the new Layered Garden Beauties, the colors are so pretty!

This is the Large Fabric Covered Buttons and used it to open the last page.

This is the whole mini 'Party'.

Hope you enjoyed my project and onto your next stop Amanda!

My Little Love!

I know it doesn't say it on the frame, but he was and will always be my little love.  A few of these photos are over 35 years old, so yes, he's all grown up now.  I did start this a long time ago for a class I was supposed to give at one of the chain craft stores, but the class ended up being cancelled.  I never did finish it, it was harder than it looks!

I am still in a finish started projects mode and a buying freeze!  So far so so good and gift cards I received don't count for the buying freeze if they're from a craft store.

So the paper and paper embellishments are K&C.  I used the Pinque Peacock small fabric buttons, beaded stick pin and a felt popper with a small fabric button on top.

A Little Romance!

With the new year here and 2013 behind us it's time for a little romance.  You already see all the valentine goodies in all the stores, so it must be that time of year.  I am a romantic, but not just at this time of the year.

I never usually make valentine cards or romantic cards, but thought it was about time. One of my many favorite Pinque Peacock products is the Burlap Splendid Swirls, I just love them and you can use them on anything!  I also used 2 of the very pretty Small Fabric Covered Buttons on my card.  The paper and die-cuts I used are from the romantic kit that I had from TLC.

Here is a close-up view of the Pinque Peacock Fabric Covered Buttons and the Burlap Splendid Swirl.

And here is the complete card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

"Tis The Season" Pinque Peacock Blog Hop!

Hello to all of our Pretty Little Peacocks

Welcome to Pinque Peacock’s

DECEMBER BLOG HOP
"TIS THE SEASON"
DAY 1

We hope you will enjoy your time as you hop and that you feel
inspired to create after visiting the Talented Pinquettes' Blogs!
This hop will showcase projects that have been created using some of the
NEW Holiday Inspired Products from Pinque Peacock.

We are thrilled to have you joining us this month!

So for the "Tis The Season" Blog Hop I decided to go completely out of the box and used my little wood tree as our Christmas tree this season.  It's not just a project tree, it's actually our Christmas tree!!

I used lots of Pinque Peacock items, not just the new Holiday Products.  First off I used one of the Large Layered Garden Beauties to decorate the wooden star.  My photos didn't come out too well, lots of shadows, but I wanted the tree to be lit.

Now here are a couple of the new Holiday Products, a Large Fabric Covered Button (polka dot) and one of the Small Layered Garden Beauties (white and blue).  You will also notice some Felt Poppers with Fabric Covered Buttons in the center and a Corduroy Fabric Splendid Swirl.

Here is our silly wooden Christmas Tree, I just love it.  It's not traditional, but hubby wanted to put up his village this year and our living room is just too small for a tree and a village!  My hubby did make the tree for me a few year ago using scrap wood, a Pinterest idea.  I decided it would be cute all decorated up and found the star somewhere, painted it yellow and drew the stitches around it.

Again, sorry for the shadows, but it's not as pretty without the lights on!

This release is showcasing some NEW products as well as some products that have been available in the shop for a while. This is a great way to see the Pinque Peacock Products in action and to get your creative imaginations in "Full Speed Ahead" mode!

It's a Merry Christmas Card!

I am such a sucker for any holiday, but especially Christmas.  It's been a few years since I've been able to decorate, bake, do cards or anything, so I'm trying to make an extra effort this season.  I've been playing around with different papers, embellishments and Silhouette files trying to find just the right combination of colors and goodies.

Here is one of the many, many cards I've made.  I used the lovely burlap covered buttons, they're so fun to work with!  I fell in love with The Paper Studio Classic Christmas paper stack and thought it would be perfect for cards.

Here is a close-up of the burlap button and the wrinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam (check her out)!

The Merry Christmas Card!

Have a great day and see you at the blog hop starting on the 13th!
