Peachy Keen Challenge 37

I'm LOVING fall colors this year. I really wanted to use something fun in my card, so I chose raffia, perfect for fall. What else is perfect for fall? A scarecrow, of course. I used PPDU and EDPP for all the cuts and inked the edges in brown for a dirty look. I layered raffia under the clothes for the hay (kinda a pain in the butt, but worth it). For the face I used my PKS Monster Mash Assortment (super cute). The pumpkins are the jack-o-lanterns from PPDU with the faces removed with my gypsy, inked the edges with brown and colored the vines and stems with green. Layered frames in fall colors, and more raffia tied, and I called it done.

Another Color/Sketch challenge from Peachy Keen. The requirements can be found here
I gotta say, I am SUPER happy with how this turned out. I've been wanting to do a Thanksgiving card, and the colors worked PERFECTLY!!!! The card is a 5x7 beige base. I used My Create a Critter cartridge for the turkey, using my Gypsy to hide the face cuts so I could use my PKS Create a Critter Faces (medium set). I used a Martha Stewart edge punch, my gem heat-setter to put the bling in the center of the silk flower, and used Distessed Stickles on the turkey's hat.

Birthday Card

So, one of my favorite people is having a birthday, so I just HAD to make her a card. I love these stamps, they're just so darn cute; I colored with Martha Stewart colored pencils. I used my Gypsy to resize the frames (from Storybook)and cut using my Cricut Expression, I embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder, and used my gem heat-setter for the bling.

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).

Peachy Keen Challenge 34

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
