Peachy Connection Challenge

Hello Crafty friends!

I know its been a LONG time since I've posted here. Seems there's not enough time. I did find a moment to create something for this challenge.....

JULYCHALLENGE#1

 

Here is my entry

I used PK-147 Skatin Boy

PKSC-11 November 2012 stamp of the month

Tim Holtz spiced Marmalade distress ink pad (which works GREAT to emboss)

Clear embossing powder for the sentiment

Glossy accents for the ice rink and some snow.
I paper pieced the scarf and mittens, face and belly also paper pieced with white paper. Colored in the fur parts with gel pen, boots and skates colored with copics and a silver gel pen for the blades. Glitter pen for the beak.

Enjoy your summer!!

another PKS challenge

Hello crafty friends!

Wooohooo, I have another challenge project!

PKS release challenge on the Peachy Keen Connection

here

 

For my project I made a wall hanging. I can never have too many of those unfinished wooden plaques from the craft store. For this one, I stamped the boy elf from PKS Lauri Love skip faceless elves,  I also used My Creative Time Warm Holiday Fun.

I colored with copics, Tim Holtz distress markers, inked the edge with TH distress ink (salty ocean).

I used my Martha Stewart glitter markers for the shorts, hat and belt. LOVE these markers.

Hope you enjoy and are ready for a wonderful Holiday Season!!

PKS November Release Challenge

Hello crafty friends!!

I was able to get in some crafting, time for this has become few and far between! I can NOT wait to receive my Peachy Keen November stamp of the month stamps!

For the release party, there were 2 challenges presented. I am still working on Challenge #2, but here is my

tag for Challenge #1. I used PKS September and October releases for the chipmunk, acorns and sentiment. I used My Creative Time's tag dies, curly die and border stamp. Colored with copics, heat embossed the sentiment with Tim Holtz distress ink (YES the distress ink!!) and clear embossing powder! Ribbon is from my stash and a piece of twine.

Happy Saturday!

Hello Crafty friends!

I had this vision of this sign in my head since I saw something similar last week in a store for almost $20!

I made it using items I had and LOVE , except for the $4 I paid for the 2 wooden boards.

 

 

Hope you enjoy! I LOVE how this turned out.

I used:

*PKS halloween holler spooky tree & cat stamp

& the BOO!

colored with copics and tim holtz (TH) distress markers

*2 plain old wooden boards and painted them with acrylic vanilla paint.

*PK-695 the Uglies for the eyes

*MCT Treats for My Sweet for the ghosts

*used My Cricut for the letters with vinyl

inked up the edges with TH black soot distress ink pad

 

I then painted it with a clear varnish and stapled to a stake.

This stands about 3' high.

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!

MCT 19th edition fun!

Hello crafty friends!!

I had planned on cleaning up my little craft corner this wknd so I can work in less clutter. Eh, that didnt happen. I crafted IN the clutter. Hey, I know exactly where everything is!

So I used my very favorite stamps from Peachy Keen and My Creative Time

dies from MCT

some inks from Tim Holtz and Stampin Up

Theresa Collins new Christmas paper

DCWV paper

a few little embellishments.

Enjoy!

 

Thank you for visiting!!

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 #22

Hi crafty friends! Another challenge complete! Woohoo! I have to say I did 'challenge' myself this month to get as much crafting in as possible. It relaxes me and I love the creativity so Why not! So here is my entry for PKS challenge #22. You can see details HERE

I made this 4x6 layout for a frame I got on sale at Hobby Lobby thats pretty oddly shaped, but I LOVE it!

I used PKS Home Tweet Home stamp set from June's release for the tree. LOVE this set! I know I say that about all my peachies! The grass is from a cricut cartridge which escapes me, I think it was sports mania. paper from DCWV All Boys. The banners I just cut myself from strips and scraps.
