PKS Challenge 32

Hello crafty friends!

In my chaotic creativity this weekend, I got to create something for the PKS challenge this week. It's a sketch challenge:

SKETCH :: PKC32 :: AUGUST 2012

• Design must be new
• Link up by 8/29 - 11:59 pm EST
• You don't need our stamps to play along, but only entries using Peachy Keen Stamps can earn Top Peach!
• Sorry, any entry that does not meet the guidelines for this challenge will be automatically removed without notice.

 

Here is my take on the challenge.

 

I used, of course, PKS faceless fall fun for the sentiment.

MCT dies for the leaves and tag. I embossed the paper with dots and used brown ribbon from my stash.

Inked up the edges with Tim Holtz walnut ink pad

Enjoy!

PKS challenge #30

Hello crafty friends!!

My goodness there's a FABULOUS sneaky peak happening as we speak over at My Creative Time!! A MUST see!!

Head on over HERE

You'll LOVE what you see all week!

So I was inspired by all of the talent that I've seen this wknd and today! I created a card for PKS challenge #30 Just cards POPPED UP! Now I must tell you, I have not yet done a pop up card. This was my very first attempt. I think it came out pretty good. Hoping to get better.

Here are details for the challenge:

PKS Challenge #30

I used PKS 647 Faceless Fall Fun for the pumpkins, fence & leaves

MCT All Around halloween for the sentiment

colored with my Tim Holtz distress markers

inked the edges with TH distress ink pads

I also used my acrylic block to mix the colors from TH ink pads, spritz with a bit of water and stamped the leaves. They came out so cool! I dont know that you can see the complete detail of all the colors, but I liked it. THEN, my favorite part, I used Yankee Candle Autumn wreath hand sanitizer to add a scent to the card. I squeezed a little on my finger and dabbed it around the card! LOVE IT! I did see it on a you tube video a looong time ago, wish I could remember where so I can give her credit. Nonetheless, awesome idea!! Because it's alcohol based, it didnt leave little spots anywhere! completely dried!!



ok now here is my pop up part. I had to keep it simple as this IS my very first pop up.

This next card is just for fun! I LOVE LOVE the august release from PKS!! I made a tag from the little apple, colored Mrs. Peach with my copics and paper pieced her dress.

The accessories are colored and paper pieced. This was so fun to play with!!  Happy 1st day of school!

 Thank you so much for visiting!

PKS Challenge You've been framed!

Hello crafty friends!  I've been a crafty woman just stirring up creations! I'm having a work picnic this year, theme being "luau". I decided I would make a few wall hangings to decorate my unit with. Fit right into this challenge!! Hope you enjoy!

For this first one, I used Pack Your Bags cricut cartridge, cut off the sunglasses. I used PKS May stamp set for the lights,LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!! I used MCT build a banner kit for the tag and Have Fun in the Sun for the sentiment. The frame is a canvas I had lying around and just painted it with blue acrylic paint.

This next one is also a canvas I painted blue, I used Pack Your Bags cricut cartridge (left the sunglasses attached for this one), PKS May release for the torch border, MCT stamps Have Fun in the Sun for the sentiment on an EK success punch. Hope this makes you want to run to the beach or the pool side!!

Thank you for visiting!!
