PKS Challenge #28

Hello Crafty Friends!! Yay my internet is back! Working very well.... for now! I wanted to create a project for PKS challenge ANYTHING GOES!
You can see details HERE
For this project I made a framed family tree.
I used PKS The Cornies, Wide Eyed Kids, Funny Farm, Home Tweet Home
and EK success punch for the sentiment sign.

Enjoy!!
I also was able to finally upload my gift bag project from a challenge or 2 ago. Amazing what I miss when there's no internet! LOL




For the gift bag challenge which I wasnt able to upload.... bummer!
I made the bag from a tutorial I saw using a 12 x 12 cardstock. The flags and little girl are from PKS July 2012 release. LOVE IT!!!  I cant wait for the August release!

PKS challenge #26

Hello Crafty friends! I tried and tried to upload my gift bag for challenge #25 but my computer has been acting up HORRIBLY!!  I had a chance to work on PKS Challenge #26..... a sketch challenge. You can see details HERE
Ok so when I saw this sketch for some reason I had this idea. I used the egg from Just because Cards, cut the words at I think 1" with a font cart I cant seem to remember (I really need to write them down as I use them), the circle is also from JBC cartridge. My PKS is from July's release. I enjoyed making this, made me smile. The base card is cut at 6 x 6. Enjoy!

 
 
I attempted to load a picture of my gift bag but something is still wrong with this computer! Took about 6 hrs and it still didnt upload! Oh well, hopefully in the future I'll be able to show you!
Have a great day and Thanks for visiting!

Hello crafty friends! If you are a follower you know how I LOVE My Creative Time stamps and dies and Miss Emma herself is just awesome! Very creative and helpful and always there with a kind word. Well, her son Aaron has been ill for a few days now. As I was reading her updates on his status and health, I thought to myself I have to do something to put smiles on this little boys and Emma's faces!! Of course their family members as well. So I came up with this.... Put a Smile on Your Face create a card-a-thon!! Please join me in making one or 2 or more cards to help this family and make 'em smile through this tough time.
 Send your cards to Miss Emma's PO box which is posted HERE
on her website. I'd love to see what you've created as well so leave a comment and/or link to your card for us to view!!

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.

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!!
