Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday # 28

Fantabulous Cricut is having a challenge about harvest time. So you need to create a project having to do with gardening ( plants, gardening tools, vegetables, etc.) Well this challenge is almost perfect for me. My husband and I live on his Grandparents farm. Don't mistake me for that Great Farmers wife... I am not. He does this mainly as a hobby. Anyway my husband and our 5 year old son, he just turned 5 a few days ago, spend hours, I MEAN hours on tractors. They love to mow, plow and as of this year plant corn and soy beans! Yes, their new adventure! So when I look out my kitchen window I just see the corn they planted! They are so proud of it! Lol. Again, I am not that good farmers wife... suburban girl here! SO  I made this card for my son's birthday because of him and his Dad's love for their corn and for the love of their John Deere Tractors. If I might point out I did not put in the weeds that grew in between the corn stalks, out of respect for them, iI just added the grass leading up to the corn field! Lol. I did put on  2 black Crows  and left out the deer who did eat some of their corn! They did an awesome job! Sorry for the story but I do hope you enjoy the card!

I used Country Life and I can't remember where I got the grass. I  did alter the tractor because there was a girl driving it. If I would have left her on they might have thought there was hope of me driving a tractor... NOT going to happen! LOL. I was inspired by a awesome DT by the name of Samantha.

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ "LET's Face IT" Friday ~ Week 1

Peachy Keen has done it again! They have a new challenge called "Lets Face It Friday"! This is their very 1st week for this new challenge. You have to use their stamps, which our awesome and I truly wish I had them ALL. Their DT's did an awesome job... as usual!  We had to make some sort of Halloween treat containers. I will be making these for my son's Pre-School party. I want to give credit where credit is due. I learned these off of Made by Momo. She had an awesome tutorial on these, go check her out! I did have to alter mine because I had HUGE bags and Michael's isn't open at 1:30 in the am! Lol. They really need to rethink that! I hope you enjoy!

Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge #36 ~ Color Combo and Sketch

Angelica did it again! She challenges us to come up with a card, layout or some project using a color combination! Well, I just love this because it really makes you think! I love these kind of challenges but it does take me quite along time to come up with something but LOVE it... makes my little mind spin!  So I decided to make Thank You card for my best friends Mom! Karen has a small catering business. She knew we had a lot of company last weekend and how stress full things can be in our household right now. Karen knows how much my Dad LOVES her cooking and especially her gravy, that she made our family a FULL dinner. So I wanted to to say Thanks! I hope you enjoy... and Angelica Thank You for such awesome challenges!

Since I just started all mine seem to be new to me but I was told that Sesame Street Font is older! So My sweet little niece is turning 2 and she LOVES Elmo. So I made her a card that is simple and that didn't require alot because I know she is going to want to play with it! I bought some red velvet like paper. Hope you enjoy!
