PKS Challenge #57

Hello friends! I finally created a submission for the PKS challenge this week. This one was with a twist of 'color'. You had to follow a sketch and color combo.

http://www.peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/

This is what I came up with. Wasnt too sure about the colors with the idea I had in mind, but I actually like how it turned out! Recipe:

MCT (my Creative Time) stamps for the sentiment (the newest release! I had to have them and they are fabulous!) I also used the die and stamp for the tag (sold separately). The pumpkins are from Happy Hauntings, embossed the green with a 5x7 cuttlebug folder dots (i think) and the card shape is from TBBM cartridge.

I embellished with liquid pearls in blue.... LOVE those!! and of course, PKS for my little faces! I used glossy accents to bring some shine. Hope you have a great night!! see you soon!

Paper was from DCWV. The inside pinch is an EK success large bday punch.

Tacky Tuesday Challenge #8

Hello friends! I finally, I hope, got this blogger to post my posts!! Here is my entry for the Tack Tuesday Challenge. You had to use the word 'sweet' somewhere in the project, and a cool treat.

I had a few ideas for this, this is the end result. Hope you enjoy! I used Pack your bags cricut cartridge, PeachyKeen stamps for the faces and sentiments are from My Creative Time and Scrappy mom's. The tag is also Emma's NEW die!! LOVE IT!! I thought I'd do a layout instead of a card. Happy Summer!

See you soon!

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I finally was able the past few days to get a little crafty. Time seems to get away from me so quickly. With 4 boys all with activities and working full time, it's crazy! So anyway... I wanted to enter some of these in challenges but havent found one that fits. I'll keep looking. Onto my recipes!

1st: my 5 yr olds little friend was having a pirate themed party for her 5th birthday. I remember seeing something similar on Emma's (My Creative Time with Emma) blog. I tweeked it a little to make it for a little girl. The cut is from Life's a Party cricut cartridge and I used one of Emma's stamps from her set So Many Candles. I love how it turned out!

Next is a card I made for my nephew's 1st communion. I saw this little boy on Chore chart and immediately thought of this project, so I had to run out and get it! I impressed myself with how this one turned out. The sentiment was printed off my computer and I used the i-rock for the bling, PeachyKeen stamps for the face. I think it's from wide eyed kids.

This next one I thought came out adorable. I saw something like this in my web browsing and can't remember which blogspot I saw it. Thank you whomever if your reading this. I changed it up a little to mkae it my own but thanks for the inspiration!The cartridge I used was Boys will be boys. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper, one of the older sets.

Finally, this last one if for my stepson who just graduated High School last weekend. My good ness how time does fly!! I used PKS for the face, I think graphically speaking for the cap, Create a Critter for the owl. The sentiment inside is from My Creative Time's Turn that frown upside down set

Thank you all for visiting! I hope to have some Father's Day projects to share!!
