Peachy Keen October Challenge #2

This challenge was special to me since my baby: Raven,  came up with it.

I used some of the  Peachy Keen September Stamp of the month stamps 

The red paper was in my scrap file box 

It was cut with a Martha Steward punch

I colored the ends with my staples permenent Marker 

Stamped with Memento Ink 

The Witch was blinged out with Stampin Up Smoosh

I used scraps for the bottom layer

Coloring - Copic Markers 

Twinery twine 

& 

We R Memory Keepers Halloween Paper 

PK October Challenge 1, 2, 3

3 Buttons, 2 pattern papers, 1 Ribbon

Here is my take on this challenge

I actually used some of my Echo paper:

Note to Self

Those little cuties were colored with my copics

I won them a well back from Peachy Keen - Thank You Dolls PK - 124

Aren't they the cutest?

I used some Time Holtz Distressing ink on the card 

& some Liquid pearl on her dress

Ribbon - My Mind's Eye

Challenge 37 :: A Sketch

 For this challenge I decided to go with a fall theme.

I colored several of these owls for a PK challenge that I missed the deadline for.

She is Smartie the Owl  PK-126

I colored her with my copics and then went over parts of it with my yellow stickles 

The circles where cut with my Spellbinders - Big Scalloped Circles Large.

On the lighter brown circle, I used my permanent marker to make it pop and then 

used my copic marker and yellow stickles.

The circles where cut with My Marvy punch 

 I went over some of them with my yellow stickles 

Twine - the Twinery 

Ribbon - American Craft. 

The papers all came from my scrap box. 

Gems - Recollections 

Now I have to decide who to send it to.

I make cards for challenges and then they just sit in a box to be used one day.

I have decided to stop doing that.

I know I love getting snail mail 

It makes me feel special knowing that someone thought about me

and went out of their way to mail me a letter or a card. 

PK Candle Challenge

This was so easy to put together

I had the glass candle container which just needed to be cleaned.

I used the latest stamp of the month set

I used my copics to color each piece

The ribbon is from American Craft 

Twine from the Twinery 

Hope you like it as much as I do.

during a barbecue at their house years ago and during happier times.

PK Challenge 31: 3D Objects - Box it up

I loved this challenge

This little wooden box was picked up at Michael's for 25 cents.

I love clearance bins

The top was missing but as soon as I saw it, 

I knew it would be perfect for this latest challenge.

Yesterday my 3 yr old granddaugher stayed home from Preschool 

and when she saw it she smiled and asked is this mine Grandma?

Ahhh - This is one of the reasons why I love scrapbooking.

I need to see about getting more of this boxes so I can make several more

Seeing that I have 2 daughters and 6 grand kids.

This is what went into making this little project:

When I got home, I pulled out my peachy keen stamps look for something that would fit. 

And this little mouse from the PK-281 Valentine Cupids was the perfect size. 

I painted the box with Ceramcoat acrylic Think Pink1paint 

The roof was cut from some Styrofoam I had laying around the house.

The Ribbon was the perfect size - I love when that happens.

The mouse was colored with my Copic Markers

The hearts in the back were stamped and cut using 

My Creative Times 100% Sweetness set that includes a heart die 

The paper was purchased at Ross - 

Pressed Petals For All Seasons Open Stock

Gems - K&Company 

Stickers - unknown source

Spellbinders Ribbon Banner 

Behind the mouse and the hearts I also used more Styrofoam 

 I love how this turned out

Hope you do as well 

Peachy Keen Challenge - Pop up card

I saw this stamp from the latest PK Stamp of the month club 

and I had a million ideas of how to use it.

Nothing too fancy here but it is for a man 

and I do struggle to make cards for men

OK so her is my confession I don't currently have a man to give this to.

However, there is this believe system that 

if you act as if something is already yours it will be.

Who knows this card might do the trick !

Material :

Stamps: PK's July & Hero Arts

K&Company - Page tab & solid color paper

Lawn Fawn - Chevron Grey paper

Ribbon - American Craft 

Floss - We R Memory Keepers

Peachy Challenge 29 - Color inspiration

When I saw the colors for this challenge, I though of using the PK's Gnome set. 

Which I did use for the tree truck and the grass. I eventually decide to use PK's Kiss Me Leprechaun.

 I also used Market Street's background stamp on the tree trunk.

 I colored my little leprechaun with my copics. 

I love this colors combination.

Paper - DCWV's card block and K&Company solid mat pad.

Ribbon - American Carft

Twinery twine

Gems - Recollections

Peachy Keen Stamps August Release Challenge #2

OMG

OK, here is why. It just seemed like one mistake after another.

And as always I could hear my daughter telling me

"You can never make a mistake when scrap booking."

So I just kept working on it.

In the end, I was happy with it. 

The inside is blank. I think it can be used for a number of 

different occasions 

Materials: 

The flower pot of course is from PK's March stamp of the month. 

Flowers - Stampendous

Card K&Company

Kaisercraft Lavendar Pearls 

Liquid Pearl 

Copic Markers - 2 of the flowers were paper pieced

I colored them and then didn't like them,

so then I had to use flowers that I had previously colored.

Ribbon - Unknown source 

Flowers - Recollections

Spellbinder - Big Scalloped Circles large 

Peachy Keen Stamps August Release Challenge #1

OK, please bear with me here.

I am in a school frame of mind.

School starts here in NM next week. 

So for this challenge, I wanted to create a school theme card and

this months challenge required us to make a card with a unique or special fold, 

and also, use at least 3 patterned papers. 

 I used PKs July Stamp of the month set and My Creative Time's My Teacher Rocks.

 Pattern papers - DCWV the Papertime stack - printed card stock

I also used scrap pattern paper for his coverall and hat and on her skirt 

I absolutely love how they turned out. 

I colored with my copic markers

With the twine I pulled out all the strands.

I used Art - C suede on her skirt and liquid pearl on the bodice which I colored with my copics

Ribbon - unknown source

Peachy Keen July Sketch Challenge

Christmas in July 

I figure it is better to start early rather than later.

That is unusual for me

Yes I am last minute Sally.

You can ask anyone that knows me.

OK so on to the material I used on this card 

Card 5.5 by 5.5 by DCWV

I purchased a 10 pack for a buck at TJ-Maxx

Paper :

Green - DCWV

Dress - K& Company Designer Mat Pad

The rest of the paper and material came from a 

Christmas Pack from My Mind's Eye 

Circle - Cricut's Lacy Label

Tim Holtz Distressing Ink & Stickles 

Pk Stamp Kit 

She was colored with my copics.

Don't have a ton of them but I am playing with what I do have.

MKS July Color Challenge

I Actually made two cards

The first was made at my daughter's 

Color and paper piecing 

Paper scraps were used 

The stamp is of course from Market Street Stamp set that I was lucky enough to win.

The grass was created using the June Peachy Keen stamps of the month kit.

The second card I used my prismacolor pencils 

I blended with a stump and Sansodor

The sticker came from Stampabilities 

I then used some gems and stickles to jazz it up.

If you were to asking me which one I like the best ....

Ahh that would be tough so I will wait and see what you all think 

Peachy Keen Challenge - 3D Objects

Gift Bag for my daughter's birthday 

The idea and measurements for this bag came from

Papercrafts & Stamp It! Treasury of Tips and Tricks

It is approximately & 7.5 inches tall 

Perfect for perfume or lotion, etc

I love the way the skirt turned out.

It was created with Recollectins Boutique Fleur in light and dark pink.

I just kept cutting and gluing until I was happy with the result.

I drew her out using Collage Couture by Julie Nutting as a guide, 

then traced the various pieces and paper pieced her and the outfit 

together.  What is cool about doing it this way is that I have the original that

I can use over and over again. Then I can change the details along the way.

The skirt turned out differently than I first imagines.

I only used two large size flowers. 

Then I placed a button and twine on one one button 

Liquid Pearl on the one on the skirt 

and then a glossy one one the top.

I often create bows but I changed it up seeing that the 

ribbon has a wired edge that you can do different things with. 

I have also discovered that it is best to create something and then 

allow it to sit for awhile and then add more details.

 the center of the baby's rattle: light & dark aqua

Peachy Keen Challege - frame

 Hi everyone, this is for the latest PK Challenge

You are required to use a Frame

I am staying over at my daughter's house as I 

recuperate from my surgery.

So although I own this set of stamps,

I used all her material.

I am in craft Heaven seeing that my daughter has a ton more resources than I do.

The reason that I join challenges is too inspire me to branch out and

also with the hope that my project will be selected, and I can always use more material.

Yes we all love winning, Especially Pk materials!

I used scraps

Tim Holtz's Distressing Ink 

A spellbinder to create the frame 

My cute turtle was colored with copics

Yes, I was also taught how to blend

I know I need a lot more practice and more copics.

I primarily use prisma color pencils but she has somehow misplaced hers.

Grass stampin' up ink

Prisma flowers 

fabric flowers - ribbon cut from an unknown source

Liquid pearl in the center

I love how that blue paper looks just like water. 

I pasted this on card board so I can either hang it or glue a stand on the back.

I am loving this set 

AND 

I love PK's Stamps of the month.

Can hardly wait to see what Kathy will create in the future!

Well I hope you like what I created

June's Pk Challenge 2

PK's Challenge 2 

 Lorie's challenge was a theme challenge - "Things that fly."

Of course I used PK's latest stamp release. 

When I was just about done putting together my little fairy my 3 year old grandbaby Mikaylah 

asked, "Gammy are you making that for me ?"

In that instant I knew I was making a walk hanging..

I can hardly wait to see her face when I give it to her.

She, her mom & brother having been staying with me 

as I recover from surgery and then off to Raven's.

The outfit was paper pieced together with scraps I had laying around. 

When I started working on her, I knew that I did not want to use 

pastel colors so somehow I ended up using red, pink and black.

Roses - Echo park 

Paper - My Mind's Eye's Lost & Found 6x6 paper pack 

Along the edges & on the red card stock as well I used 

Tim Holtz' Festive Berry Distressing Ink

Wings - Stickles

Hat & shoes - Staples permanent marker

Stem - copics

pink dots - liquid pearl 

paper ribbons - My Mind's Eye's with some more distressing ink 

ribbon and glitter paper unknown source

Hope you like what I created
