Out of difficulties grow Miracles

I love these papers, they are just so soothing and welcoming at the same time.  I made this with my friend Sue, check out her blog here.

It was made with Kate's ABC's cartridge, shocking I know that I used my Cricut.  The sentiment is computer generated.

My Craft Spot Challenge #98 Ribbon & Twine

It's time for another challenge over at My Craft Spot.  This week's challenge is to make anything you want using Ribbon and Twine.

For my project, I used a file from the Silhouette store.  I wrapped it with Sunshine Yellow Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot.  I also used some tulle and Olive Jute String.  

The tag was made with the Tiny Tags Metal Dies and stamped with the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

The inside was stamp with the Butterfly Kisses stamp set all from My Craft Spot.

These little envelopes were cut with a file from the Silhouette store and are the perfect size for a gift card.  They are wrapped with Caribbean and Maraschino twine.  The tags were made with the Lacy Banners Metal Dies and stamped with the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set, all from My Craft Spot.

Todays post is a little different, it is also a blog hop for SVG Cutting Files and Peachy Keen Stamps!  So it will be doing double duty!  You all know how much I love SVG Cutting Files and how fun their fils are but if you are not familiar with Peachy Keen stamps, they have some super cute stamps, and when you see images with sweet little faces that is probably where they came from.

As with any blog hop, there are prizes!  

The prizes for this event will be 2 $35 Gift Certificates (1 from PKS and 1 from SVG Cutting Files) for each day of the hop!

That fun little face is from Peachy Keen stamps, it is from the Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment.
