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 
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
