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 
Buttons Galore 
Stickers - Love Elsie 
Liquid Pearls - Key Lime & Peacock

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

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
