PK Friday Challenge
Anything goes

Only 3 more days in school.
My K/1 special education students have
done amazingly well this year so I wanted to make them something special.
I got this idea out of PAPER CRAFTS & STAMP IT
TREASURE OF TIPS AND TRICKS
I did not used their measurements
My Candy Bags were smaller
I had to play with the dimension.
Yes I wasted an entire 12x12 piece of paper
Ahhh finally I got something that worked.
If anyone would like the dimensions please let me know.
Nothing fancy but I think the kids will love them.
Robots for the boys and flowers for the girls.

Material used
PK May Stamp of the month kit
Robot paper: Pressed Petals Boys Will Be Boys
Flower paper: DCWV Glitter stack
& scraps on the rest
Flower: Stampin' Up chalk
& then I went over the petals with Glam Pink & Turquoise
Then I applied a second coat Crystal Sickles
Turquoise Twine: My Mind's Eye
Black & white twine: We R Memory Keepers
Black Ink: Memento
Purple Ink: Vivid

- ahh how silly is that! 


I paper pieced the cupcake and used stickles on the the stars  
Brown staples marker to color the bottom of the cupcake 
Liquid Pearl to make it look like an 
aluminum cupcake wrapper

Hope you like it.

Peachy Challenge 15 :: Just Cards


 This challenge was to create your own 
Background
I love hearts and angels so I decided to 
use  PK's January 2012 Stamp Kit

I stamped Love with Memento's Angel Pink
 traced over, some of them, with my Sharpies markers

Then I used PK's Valentine Sweets on everything else.
Yet another purchase that was gathering dust and which 
never had been used. Ahhh SHAME on me!

The red box of candy was colored with a Sharpie
I colored the pink box with my Prismacolor pencils 
blended with a stump & Sansodor solvent

The bow was colored with my sharpies and the 
Heart tip is a paper piece 
The feather's - colored with Sharpies
I had to play with different colors
until I came up with a color combination that worked for me.

For the Hearts I used my stickles 
each heart has two different colored Stickles 
I love how that turned out.

The frame was created with Offray Ribbon 
& Michael's Gems from the dollar bin.
Then I used pink and lavender twine - The Twinery
