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.

Material 
Peachy Keen Stamps:
Laffy Taffy Face that I accentuated with my brown Gelly Roll pen
PKSC - March  & May 
Graphic 45 - body 
Bag - Colorbok Textured Cardstock 
Hair, hair band, and shoes - Artist's Loft Paint 
Body - Copic Marker
Stickles on the dress & Liquid Pearls

Peachy Keen's Weekly Challenge: Chalk It Up


I loved this Challenge which encouraged me to use chalk 

I recently purchased this retired set (PK-34 Oh! Baby) from Peachy Keen 
knowing that there will be at least one teacher or someone 
in my extended family who will be expecting this year.

The only coloring I did on this card was around the edge of
 the center of the baby's rattle: light & dark aqua  

The idea for this card came from the Melody Ross Die Cut Border.

OK here is the list of the other items I used:
Chalk in Various shades from Stampin' Up 
I used eye make up sponges with the chalk. 
Sentiments - Pink By Design 
Clouds and Birds - Dear Lizzy & American Crafts
 Images stamped with various Tim Holt's Distressing Ink 
& Stampology - Onyx
Ribbon - K&Company 
Flower - GCD Studio
