Peachy Keen Challenge 35

My PKS challenge entry...it was a color and sketch challenge. Not quite sure of the final product(I know it's not my favorite, but it's growing on me), but I had A LOT of fun playing with my new stuff. New cartridge, Mini Monsters, new stamps, Monster Mash Assortment, and my new heat tool for setting gems (like an iRock but I found it in the jewelery making section of Michael's).

This was a Sketch Challenge, and as soon as I saw the sketch the idea for this card popped into my head. It's simple-ish, a white on white on white wedding card (now all I need is for someone to get married so I can give it away). I used Spellbinders Dahlia nestabilities, a MS edge punch, the tiny hearts CB folder, and SYI cricut cartridge.


A close up of the wedding couple, the color is a little off but it shows the detail better.

Peachy Keen Challenge 32

Requirements: Create a card or layout (any size) based on your favorite summer vacation destination. You must also include one of the following three "B"'s: Buttons, Brads or Bling.



Love this one!!!!! I made a 5 by 7 Card based on the pirate themed dolphin watch cruise we went on while vacationing in South Padre Island, TX. It was such a good time, sword fighting, treasure hunt, water gun fights, tattoos (face painting), and other pirate type games.

Anywho, I used my brand spanking new Gyspy to create this card, using Life is a Beach, and Paperdoll DressUp, I also used assorted bling, pencils, markers (gold and silver), pens and of course my PK face stamps

4th of July Card

Just a little something I threw together using A Child's Year and Stand and Salute, and a whole lot of Stickles

Peachy Keen Challenge 28

I admit it, I've gotten addicted to stamps. Now everytime I go into a craft store I leave with stamps. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the green edge, my Cricut to cut out the ovals, flowers, and circles for the centers of the flowers. I used flourish stamps and green ink for the background, PK basic faces for the flower centers, and "live, laugh, love" stamps for in the oval.

The words I chose for this card have a special meaning for me now. My mother in law lost her battle with cancer 2 weeks ago, a reminder of just how short life can be. So my goal is to live like there's no tomorrow, laugh often, and love; because there's no telling how much time we've got.

Peachy Keen Challenge 27

Another challenge, and the only crafting I can find time (barely) to do. The color scheme worked wonderfully for me for a mother's day card (purple is my mom's favorite color). The actually design gave me fits, I knew what I wanted to do, but didn't quite know how to pull it together. Thankfully my new Peachy Keen stamps arrived to save the day, that birdie is PERFECT for what I wanted to do.

Peachy Keen Challenge 26

The requirements for this challenge were this:
*Stitching (either by sewing needle or hand-drawn)
*White and Orange (card could have more colors, but must include these two in the card)
*Contain one upcycled item (something that could be thrown away but instead will make its way onto your work of art!)
*Any Peachy Keen Stamp

This challenge was very difficult for me, mostly because I REALLY don't like orange...except in fall (halloween, leaves, etc). But I figured I could try. Upcycled items...hmmm, I made everything out of scraps, some were barely big enough for the cuts, but I made it work.
