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.

My Favorite picture of my parents

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.
