I noticed that I forgot to post the simple card that I made for my Mom for Mother's Day.
This was a larger card sized 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock folded in half for the base). The flower cut is from the Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge. The beautiful sentiment is from Emma's More Gift Card Sentiments and the sweet face is one of the 4" faces by Peachy Keen Stamps called 4" Happy Lash Simple Smile. I inked and faux stitched all the edges and added chalk cheeks and glossy accents.

Hello sweet crafting friends, I wanted to submit a project that I made for the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday Challenge. It has been a busy week so this is going up right at the last minute.
I made a fun little container to put some pencils and other supplies in. My daughter's teacher asked for some pencils, erasers, glue sticks, etc. I thought they would look cute coming in this basket.
This basket is super easy to make and only requires a sturdy piece of 12 x 12 paper. This was some cute paper by Me and My Big Ideas. HERE is a picture tutorial that I found a while back on Kristal Andrew's site (Getting Cricky) blog. These are super easy to make.
The AWESOME sentiment is from the My Teacher Rocks! stamp set by My Creative Time. I've used this set A LOT and absolutely LOVE it!!!
The ruffle along the top is crepe paper. I got this fabulous idea from Kimberly over at My Craft Spot. I love the way it dresses things up. The pencils are from the Smiley Card Cricut cartridge. The adorable faces are by Peachy Keen Stamps - Boy Mates and Princess Faces. The twine at the top is by Trendy Twine.
This also seemed to fit the criteria for the Pinkalicious Blog Hop and Challenge so I wanted to enter it there as well.
Alright I think that about wraps it up. I hope to see you in the morning for the My Creative Time September Release Blog hop!!! Have a fabulous night! Hugs- Glora

Hi and welcome to my 6th and final day of my birthday celebration week!!! I have loved having you celebrate with me. It has been so much fun! This post is going up just a little later than the other's this week and it is because I have some great news to share. I am so grateful and very excited to share with you that Emma (My Creative Time) has asked me to continue to be on her design team for another term. She is wonderful and amazing to work with and I'm blessed to know her. Thank you so much Emma! Click HERE if you want to know who else is on Emma's new design team.
Today I am spotlighting Action Wobbles! I was super lucky to be part of their 'focus group' last fall, thanks to my good friend Pam (Simply-Pam). I got to try these out before they were ever sold and I LOVE them. They definitely make for a fun and interactive card. They can be used on anything and be fun (like the card below), but I especially love to use them on things that might actually have that kind of movement, for example: a rocking horse, a fish, a kite in the air, a balloon, etc. Anyway, my point is I love them!
This card is pretty simple, but I definitely wanted it that way. It is for my nephew who is serving a Spanish speaking mission for my church. I think he will love the wobble cake and the super cute Spanish sentiment from Emma's Wow! So Many Candles stamp set.
GIVEAWAY! I am so happy to be able to offer a 25 count package of Action Wobbles to two different commenter's on this post!

Have you ever seen those beautiful and intricate Easter eggs that some VERY talented people make? Well, my eggs don't ever turn out that way, but I wanted to try and make some pretty paper ones for the Color Cue Challenge #1 over at Market Street Stamps. We were supposed to use Plum, Sunshine Yellow and Caribbean Blue.
I used the beautiful Vintage Wallpaper background stamp and stamped my white eggs with a watermark ink pad. Then I embossed them with clear embossing powder. Next I inked them up with the coordinating colors. I had so much fun making these. I hope you enjoy them too and I hope you will join in the challenge. There is one day left to play along.
Items Used:
*Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge
*Market Street Stamps - Vintage Wallpaper

This card is one that I hope I don't need to make again. My niece went to a college hockey game and got hit in the side of the head with a puck that came out of bounds. The poor girl ended up with 30 something stitches and a very sore ear/jaw area. She has been a good sport about the whole thing and we are just thankful that she didn't get hurt worse than she did.
Here is another short video showing the Action Wobble puck.

Hello crafting friends. I have yet another card using my super fun Action Wobbles. All I have to say is that Action Wobbles ROCK!!! This card shows you how well they rock. I also think that the Action Wobble company rocks. They have been awesome to work with and how amazing is it that they are giving away free samples. Don't forget to respond by 5 pm CST on one of the Action Wobble Team Member's blogs if you are interested in some of these awesome Action Wobbles. I also want to give a HUGE shout out to the amazing Pam of Simply-Pam. She is the one that got all of us craft blogging girls introduced to the world of Action Wobbles. Thanks SO much Pam. You ROCK big time in my book.
Here is another short video. I just can't show an Action Wobble card without at least a brief preview of how awesome they are. I also regret to say that this is one cut on Smiley Cards that won't work with Peachy Keen Stamps. The black is the base image and the pink is actually two separate pieces that end up making the sunglasses. I love it anyway, but thought I would share what I learned as I was designing this.
