So I want to share something with you and no they don't pay me to say these things.
My birthday was last Thursday. My husband God Bless this man, decided to let me just order some
craft supplies I had been hinting at big time.
So he gave me a budget and away I went with the credit card in hand.

I have been wanting the Peachy Keen Critter faces. So I ordered the medium set on
June 7th at 10:30 A.M. I just got my order this afternoon.
What great service! Thank you for great products and a short span for
me to wait for my goodies!

OK so on to the project.
We were challenged to make a frame or alter a frame.

So I made a frame and titled it A Day at the Beach.
I am waiting for the pictures to come back of my two beautiful
girls on their first day at the ocean. They had never seen an Ocean before and had a blast!


So lets start with the frame.

Then I used my favorite Cri-kit pens to write A Day at the Beach on the top of the frame.

OK so then in Disney Style the Oyster, Starfish and seaweed are all from ...

The paper is from DCWV Linen Closet Collection
The cuts are the stage fright background
the sizes are
5.25 x 3.75 and 4.75 x 3.25

So I took the words hugs and kisses and made a background using Stampin Up
Basic Black Ink.

all the papers were scraps I had running around
the shadow is from the same DCWV collection.

Project Forty-nine Frame

Hi and Welcome back to my second challenge for this week.
This is for one of my favorite challenges.
Emma at My Creative Time has a weekly challenge called Throwback Thursday.

This week we had to use an older cartridge and alter an item.
I choose a basic wood frame I bought.

OK If you only are here for the project do to below the pictures.

Personal info: So my husband is just as much a Disney fan as I am.
Our 17th wedding anniversary is this Sunday so I made this frame as part of his gift from
me.


This is how the frame started

This is how it ended!!


Project details
Basic frame from some hobby store ... I think A.C. Moore
I painted it red and black using Folk Arts Acrylic paints.

Images
are from Mickey and Friends.
All paper was basic scraps I had in my box
the hand and pants are cut at 2 inches
The mouse head is at 2.5 inches
the shoe is at 1.75 inches.

OK SO I used my Cri-Kit to write the words on the mouse head.
I tried to take a few pictures to try to explain.
I used my Gypsy 
On layer 1- I placed a;l the images I wanted cut
On layer 2 - I first kept layer one visible
then I lined up the words with the mickey head they were
going to be printed on

I hope this image help.

OK now you cut layer one
but when asked do you want to unload the mat or return to design

Sorry fuzzy screen LOL

RETURN TO DESIGN
then cut layer 2

If you unload the words will not line up.

Hope you all enjoyed
Beckie

See Ya real soon!

them.
OK so the details for the project are under the picture. Personal stuff before the picture!

SO the card I made today is my daughter's older sisters 13th birthday.
Most of you know we adopted two beautiful little girls. They have an older sister who is not able to live with them. We do keep in contact as much as possible. SO their sister is turning 13 and everyone made a birthday card to send to her.


OK so the paper is
Bashful blue, Pink Pirouette and Vanilla Cream
The pattern papers are Stampin Up from last year.
The blue is DCWV

The ribbon is Stampin Up white satin ribbon

Doll
EDPD cut at 22.5
The face is peachy keen's face assortment the second to smallest size.
I used Stampin Up Chocolate Chip for the face.
I colored the eyes with a Uniball White Pen and some pink cheek chalk.

Cake
EDPD cut at 2.5
I cut the cake with the Pink Pirouette then colored the icing and plate with Copics Sketch V04
then I took Ice Stickles Grape Ice and went over the icing to give it that bling.

The Sign
The rectangle is Plantin Schoolbook and the sentiment is Mickey Font
I used my Gypsy for this trick.
on layer 1
I place the rectangle at the size I want
I then got to layer two (with layer one still visible)
I then add my sentiment where I want it on the rectangle

OK so I cut layer 1
when the gypsy asks to unload the mat or return to the design
CLICK ON RETURN TO THE DESIGN
**This will not work if you unload the mat
I then unscrew the cutting blade and place the pen cartridge of my cri-kits gel pens
Once the pen holder is in place I CUT layer 2
Make writing my own sentiments so easy!!

I just saw the Cricut is coming out with their own gel pen system. If you haven't seen Cri-Kits or Cricuts gel pens look into them they are great little tool.
