PKC 13-3 :: 3-D Objects :: Bears, Bears, and Bears, Oh My!

This weeks Peachy challenge left me not knowing what to do. I figured everyone would be doing cute little Valentine bags and boxes and I didn't want to create something that looked to much like someone else's so I enlisted my DH help. As we walked through CVS he came up to me and handed me some gumballs and said "Here...Peachy these." Perfect! The gumballs them selves are very pretty colored and super shinny (I should have taken a picture of them also) But the packaging wasn't BEARY cute (hehe). So off to plan I went. Everything I came up with totally hid the whole thing and I didn't want it to be over BEARING lol. And then it clicked..sometimes simple can be BEARY nice and eye pleasing. Thanks for the help honey!

 

Enjoy!

 

I used my Spectrum Noir markers for this and maybe it's just because I have only used them a couple of times but I'm not a big fan. There are a couple of things I do like about them like the nibs, well actually that's about the only thing. Maybe they're just not for me.

Happy New Year and a new Peachy challenge

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is having a good New Year so far! Although our family was spread all over the place for Christmas this year we got to spend a little time with everyone and that made our Christmas wonderful. The fact that Santa left me a Silhouette Cameo made it AWESOME!! I haven't even been able to take it out of the box yet because we have been so busy :\

 

Our New Years was fabulous! We camped for 5 days with almost all of our family and our granddaughter who LOVED IT! Our daughter didn't get to join us because she not only had to work but was also sick :(. After our camping adventures we had to rush home for my sister's wedding. Congrats again Kerri and welcome to our crazy family Joe!

 

Now on to this weeks Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. ANYTHING GOES!!

I know I'm super early with these valentine bags but I want to get my Cameo out of the box dang it LOL. We will be camping the day after Valentine's Day so I thought it would be cute to give these to the family kids when we all arrive at Rancho Jurupa. More candies will be added before we leave so it doesn't get all stale Eww! I think they came out pretty cute but they took a lot longer than I thought they would to make.

 

Enjoy!

PKS Challenge 46 :: 3-D Objects :: Ornaments

My project for Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge this week was full of lessons learned!

1. It's really hard to stamp on a round or curved glass object! Finally used the back of my hand as a stamping block. Don't laugh! It worked best of anything I tried and I tried a lot of stuff LOL.
2. Stazon stamps onto a glass ornament better if you ink and then stamp off before stamping the ornament.
3. Sometimes Stazon dries really quick and sometimes it doesn't.
4. The clear glass ornaments from Walmart have a thin layer of something coating them. I assume to maybe keep them from shattering if dropped. But if you get cleaning solution on them it starts peeling off and very easily at that.
5. To do the glitter ornament thing it is probably best to use a floor cleaner with a wax in it. The pledge future cleaner I bought was the multi purpose one (didn't realize at the time there was a difference) and well the glitter now comes out the top like a salt shaker now that it is dry LOL.
6. The Stazon ink stayed on my stamp a lot faster than the glass :( No matter how I have cleaned my stamp or how quickly after stamping I can NOT get the Stazon off LOL. My poor stamp will never be the same :( 
7. I do not think I like to use Stazon!
8. I spent WAY to much time stamping and wiping off over and over on those dang ornaments (we're talking about 2 hours worth...crazy I know!)

 

Here is only the last stamp off sheet LOL

 

And now my poor badly stained stamp

 

And the finished product

Enjoy!

Something so simple should not have taken me hours LOL
