PKS Sketch Challenge

Well it is time for another awesome sketch challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps. I think this is such a fun sketch:

As you can see I don't normally stray too far from a sketch - LOL.

I used the Halloween Holler Scarecrow Driver stamp set. I colored him up with my watercolor pencils. I've been having some fun with those lately. For the sentiment I used a die that comes from the Just Simply Live stamp and die set by My Creative Time. A few adhesive rhinestones and sheer polka dot ribbon and that was about it. 

I hope you will join in this fun challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps. I can't wait to see what you make.

Also did you notice the call for the 2013 Peachy Keen Stamps Design Team (click HERE for details)? This has been a dream come true experience for me. So many of you are huge Peachy Keen fans and do such amazing work with the stamps. I hope you will try out for the team and I wish you the BEST of LUCK!!!!

Halloween Holler Fun

Hi and happy Monday. I had some free time to color and thought I would do up a couple more of these Halloween Holler stamps before Halloween. All of these stamps can be purchased at Peachy Keen Stamps (I will provide the links below).

The first one is SY-911 Halloween Holler Frankenstein and I used SY-909 Halloween Holler Got Treats Scarecrow for the sentiment.

This next one is SY-908 Halloween Holler Mummy Man and I used another sentiment from off of SY-909 Halloween Holler Got Treats Scarecrow. That awesome die I stamped both sentiments off of is from My Creative Time's Just Simply Live stamp and Die set.

I colored these with my watercolor pencils. Don't forget that today is another Scrappy Monday over at My Creative Time. Make sure to stop by for lots of inspiration.

 I hope you have a wonderful Monday! Hugs- Glora

MCT June Release Sneak Peek Day #2

Hi My Creative Time fans, it is time for another awesome My Creative Time release. I'm not really scheduled to post today, but I love these sets so much that I couldn't resist making an extra card to post today.

Isn't this little girl so sweet? I love that she can be holding these balloons or a kite. These stamps are so versatile. I was in a watercoloring mood so I used my watercolor pencils for my card today. I think it gives this a soft whimsical sort of look. The girl and the balloons are both from the Fly Away With Me stamp set from the June release. For the sentiment I used Emma's previously released Many Greetings stamp set. I love this particular thank you sentiment with a bunch of balloons or a bunch of flowers, hey, you could even use it with a bunch of grapes or bananas. I used Hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and I embossed the pink background with the Polka Dots CuttleBug embossing folder. I just made the polka dots POP a little more by inking them lightly with some white chalk ink. I love to do that with my dry embossing.

MCT 3D Wednesday - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

Hello My Creative Time friends. Today our 3D projects are all about being environmentally friendly. We are Reducing, Reusing and Recycling to make our projects. For my project I used a soup can that would have gone in the garbage and all of the paper was from scraps that could have been thrown away.

I decided to make a little 'Summer Can of Fun.' This can will have little pieces of paper inside with different activities that my girls and I can do this summer. Once homework and chores are done, they can pick a fun activity from the can. I think it will be a huge hit!

I used two My Creative Time stamp sets to make this. The first set is Have Fun in the Sun and the second was All Around Everything Accessories. I just randomly stamped sentiment on the red background paper and on the piece of white cardstock I did flip-flops in various colors. The end touch was some orange twill ribbon by Celebrate It.

Don't forget to stop by Emma's Blog to see a lot of awesome projects. Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

You Make ME Smile!

I have made up a fun little card for the Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #55 over at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog. I LOVE the sketch and I also LOVE this adorable little penguin that came free with my last order.  For the glittery snow trim, I bought a snow writer from Peachy Keen stamps and added some fine glitter to it while it was still wet. I love this effect! I used a mix of watercolor pencils, inking and paper piecing for this little cutie! The darling sentiment is from Emma's Turn That Frown Upside Down stamp set.

I also wanted to give everyone a reminder about the Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop on Friday. There will be a Gypsy available as one of the prizes for commenting on each blog.
