Peachy Keen October Stamp Release Challenge #1

Use 3-Buttons, 2-Pattern Papers, 1-Ribbon

For the Peachy Keen October Release Challenge 3,2,1, I used a vampire face stamp from PKS-09_ September for my bee. I cut my bee from the Cricut Create a Critter 2 cartridge @ 4 inches. I then used clear embossing ink and powder on the bee head and stinger. I then used black and white Gel pens to create the faux stitching around the wings and body. I did the same with the background shapes. 

My two pattern papers, the ribbons, and buttons are all from the Studio G line at Walmart.I then cut out the printed sentiment with the Stampin' Up Modern Label Punch and EK Success Ticket Punch.

Peachy Keen Stamps October Release Challenge #2

Created this layout for the October Stamp Release Challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. It was to create a background using PKS. I used the leaves from the September Club Stamp Kit. As well as the small pumpkin, flourish stamp, and happy fall sentiment. I also used two faces from the June Club Stamp Kit for the acorns.

My leaves I inked in Colorbox ink and then used MS clear embossing powder on them. 

With my cricut I cut this bear at 4 inches and added a layer of feathers on the back. Embossing folders used were: Swiss Dots, SU Square Lattice, and Give a Hoot. The larger pumpkin is a spellbinder die and the small pumpkin is also from the September PKS Club Kit.

Cute little acorns from the Art Philosophy Cartridge. Embossed tops with the SU Square Lattice and stamped with the PKS June Club Kit.

Peachy Keen Challenge 37

This is my creation for the Peachy Keen September Sketch Challenge. Since Halloween is nearing, I used the Cricut Lite Trick or Treat Cartridge to create my two little trick or treat kids. The witch and the scarecrow were cut at 4.5 inches. The witchy girl I used a face from PKSC-09_September. I also used the Cuttlebug to bring some dimension to her. I used distressed stripes folder for the hair, herringbone folder for the skirt, and swiss dots folder for her shirt. On my scarecrow I used the hounds-tooth folder on his pants. For his face I used PK_550 Pumpkin Faces with white gel pen accents. 

 These little trick or treat kids are so darn cute! I wish I could have had more room to add more.

 For my moon I used the largest circle from the Spellbinders: Standard Large Circles dies. I then doodled stitches on it with a black Faber-Castell XS art pen. Then I used the musical flourish embossing folder. Though hard to see: I used Martha Stewarts Deep Edge Punch Haunted Fence for my strip behind the moon and used a strip of white card stock to make it pop.

Peachy Keen Challenge 36: 3D Candles

Hi, this is my entry for the 36th challenge over at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog. I hope you like it. I have never entered one before! EEK! I'm so excited! I decided to go with a school theme and use a real apple along with a tea lite candle. I used August 2012 PKSC Stamps.

I made this apple candle by first tracing the candle size onto the apple. I then gutted it using a knife and spoon just enough for the candle to fit. It made a really cool candle! Then I stamped my images on white card stock and colored them in using Spectrum Noir Markers. I pop dotted the teacher/pencil and wrapped them around the apple with the ruler ribbon.
