Happy Birthday - PKS Sketch Challenge 13::17

Yes, another birthday just around the corner. This time for my nephew who's in the first grade.  This card actually looks like something out of a Lego Box  tee hee and he's gonna love it! At least I hope so. 

This weeks challenge over at Peachy Keen is the following sketch 13::17  Click HERE for more details





 

With the sketch above in mind, this his how my Robot Birthday Card turned out.

 

 The bear is cut from the Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge.  I hid the face and used the bear face from PKS SOTM January 2013 set.  The moon face is from the PKS SOTM February 2013 set, and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from PKS 187 Eye Sentiments. 

I used white gelly roll pen for his eyes, then topped them off with glossy accents. A little pink chalk for his cheeks. 

I found these cute screw brads that are perfect for this card.   Well, what do you think, looks like something out of a Lego box?

You & Me...anything is possible :: Peachy Keen Challenge

It's another PKS challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps.  Here are the details for this weeks challenge:

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-14 :: Just Cards :: Siblings

Details

Create a card pertaining to siblings. You can accomplish this however you choose, as long as it's a card, and includes SOMETHING that has to do with siblings. That's it! Oh, yeah... have FUN, too!! 

 

My card is for my WONDERFUL brother.  He and I have always been great siblings.  Over this last year we really needed each other to assist with our mom. If it wasn't for each others help, I don't know how we could of taken care of what we did.  For that, I'm very grateful and made this card for him to show him I'm Over The Moon With Gratitude!

 

 

Yea, I know, the cow jumped over the moon is corny...but that's me! Corny! The cow is cut from Create A Critter cartridge. The moon is from PKS SOTM February 2013 set.

 

The sentiment "Over the moon with gratitude" is also from the PKS SOTM February 2013 set.  I chose to use yellow ribbon, because yellow also means friendship.

For the inside sentiment, I used a stamp from the Fiskars Friendship stamp set "You & Me" and then used ".......anything is possible" from MCT Classy & Fabulous stamp set.  The masked off the portion that said, "With enough caffine"

 

 

I think he'll like it and know that I am OVER THE MOON WITH GRATITUDE for all that he has done.

Have a great day!





  

You Are My Shining Star

 

It seems like forever since my last post....time away on vacation.  Took some great pictures, I'm hoping to put a few of them to use in shadow boxes. Stay tuned for that.

Today, I'm sharing a card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 13-9::Just Cards::Oh My Stars!
Create a card using stars in some way. Other than that, you have total creative control, but it DOES have to be a card to participate in this "JUST CARDS" Challenge.

My entry is a long 8x4 inch card on white card stock, black n white layered back ground. The stars are from the SOTM February 2013 set stamped on polka dotted paper from BoBunny.

The faces are from the SOTM Feb 2013 and PK-182 Sweet and Silly Face Assortment.  I colored in the eyes with white gelly roll pen.

My Shining Star is center stage, well not quite center, but you get the idea. I pop dotted it for dimension, added some glitter glue to the edges, and glossy accents to the eyes. I really wanted this one to stand out, because the recipient IS my shining star!  

Last, my sentiment is also from the SOTM Feb 2013 set. This is such a great set and very versatile.

That's it for today. There's still a little time to get your CARD into the PKS challenge. Click HERE for more info and to enter.

Have a crafty day! --C

Happy Boot-Day!

They're here!  Yes, Peachy Keen SOTM February stamp set finally made it to my house yesterday.
And there is still a few more hours to post for another challenge on the PKS Connection release challenge #2 - Create a Monochrome project. That is, to create using the same color, using light and dark, and/or patterns of the same color. 

Here's the monochrome card I made for my nephews birthday....boot-day! 

 

This card is really simple, well, let's face it, it's going to a young boy who will probably take the gift card out and toss the card LOL  but I keep sending them anyway :-)

I used jelly roll pen for the eyes, and topped them off with glossy accents.

And I couldn't help it, I had to add a little stardust stickles to the exhaust from his launch. 

I paper pieced the robot using the different shades/patterns of blue.

That's it for today.  Hope everyone had a great weekend! --C
