1...2...3...FLOOR! PKS Challenge



Hello fellow crafters,
This weeks Peachy Keen Challenge is Anything Goes (my Fav!)  So when you look at the card below, you'll see I couldn't get off last weeks colors....lol I love that hot pink and lime green together. I've also been taking note of coloring techniques that my fellow crafters have been using.  This card's Prisma pencil coloring was inspired by Gigi over at The Cricut Bug you can definitely see where I learned my coloring lesson from.

This ca-ute martini glass and sentiment is from the SOTM December 2012 set.  I masted off the stamp so that I could put the 1, 2, 3, floor on separate areas of the martini glass. On the inside, I didn't take a picture, I used the sentiment "Happy 29th Birthday or there about!" **giggle**

That's it for today. Have a great week! --C

It's Five O'clock Somewhere!

Friends of ours came to visit this past weekend, I think this sentiment explains how our weekend went.  So here's a little tribute to them. I made them each a card to thank them for visiting and a reminder It's Five O'clock Somewhere!

This card was inspired by the Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge: 13-7

 

 

This card is sized 5x7 on black card stock. I used the PKS background stamp PK-104 Size A2 What time is it?? in silver ink stamped on white card stock.  The purple and silver patterned paper is from Kaiser Craft Lilac Ave Collection (can't wait to use this for Easter cards)

 

 

The fun martini glass is from the PKSC December 2012 stamp set.  I used colored pencils for some color on the image.  I used, my favorite, glossy accents for the bubbles.

 

 

 

And last but not least, MCT stitched oval die and the sentiment, It's 5 o'clock somewhere, is a stamp from the Classy & Fabulous stamp set.

That's it for today my crafty friends!  I have another busy weekend, and through next week...sorry I'll miss making and posting my cards...and seeing all of yours too.  Until next time... --C

It's a Valentine's Happy Birthday

It's another Peachy Keen Challenge for me again this week. And it's all about my sisters Valentine's Birthday, well her bday isn't until two days later, but this paper reminds me of her.

Here are the specifics for the challenge:
Challenge 13-2 :: A Sketch

 
I don't know what it is about sketches, for me, it's the hardest challenge. I have NO idea why that is. But I put waaay too much thought into it. I tried doing something different THREE times...UGH, then I just had to walk away. It's like I totally had crafters block.  Who knows, but what I do know is, I couldn't get this really cute heart paper out of my head. I just had to use it. 
 

 
The candle is from the December 2012 KOTM,  and the sentiment, I just love the curly-Q script is from the January 2013 KOTM both from Peachy Keen.
 

I cut out the candle by hand, I gave it some extra space on the edges as if it was cut from an SVG file.  I like the look it gives even if I don't have a Cameo, yet!  :-)   The candle base cardstock IS pink.

Cheers!

It's 2013, and 13 is my lucky number and I know it's going to be a wonderful, crafty, kind of year.

I'm so happy to share with you today a new craft I learned from my friend Miss Cassandra over at
Creating with Color by Cassandra.  I always heard of paper piecing but had never tried it.   Let me tell you, it's all about the scissors.  Cutter Bee Scissors! Now hubby can have his mustache trimming scissors back *teehee*

Ok, so normally when you think of Cheers! You think of champagne glasses clinking...but it's been SOOOOO cold, my mind has been on tea and HOT COCOA!

The cocoa mugs are from MCT Do The Cocoa Motion stamp set and the backgound paper is from EP Winter Wishes paper pad that came in the huge goodie box I won over at MCT. 

 

I paper pieced the marshmellows (yummy, my fav part!) in white card stock.  Then I stamped Peachy Keen Faces on each mug.  The face on the left is from Everyday Character Face Assortment, this is my favorite face on that set.  And the face on the right is from the Happy Lashes Assortment. Then I pop dotted both mugs. I think for my first paper piecing, it didn't turn out too bad. 

The sentiment "CHEERS" is from Peachy Keen's December 2012 set.
