Back To School Riley

This neato thing is called a pillow box :) isn't it adorable!?! My friend Adela is hosting a challenge on the 3D group over on PCP, and I just had to try it out. I was already thinking about what to make for the Hanna Stamps monthly challenge hosted by Niki on SCS ... and the idea popped into my head to combine the two. I know it is a bit unusual for this pillow box to be school related. I did not realize that fact until I posted it and already saved my picture over at SCS. I smiled and clicked to edit.
I know that kids would not take or need a door hanger for school ... that is silly :). HOWEVER in my case it was pure genius ;)~ lol! The kids are always 'claiming' to lose their pencils. I wonder if it is on purpose? lol. hmmm .. :) Well, I thought this little pocked was too cute and would be perfect to hang on the buffet table or the soon to be found / bought / built bookshelf for the kids homeschool books. I love this Riley. So cute! The glasses are what do me in! lol! They are perfect!!!! I really enjoyed making this project.

Materials:

OLD paper???

Prismacolor markers

cuttlebug

Riley Raked image

Sweets and Tweets Treat Box

OK, so I made this box for the 3D challenge on PCP. I just joined today so It was my first time making a challenge for them as well as making a box. I have to admit I was a little intimidated to say the least. The challenge is to use dies in a different way. I am not sure what that means :D grin :D so I hope this is right! I used my cuttlebug dies as well my cuttlebug embossing folder birds and swirls for this. The stamps are by the paper studio. I traced the embossing with a white sharpie poster paint marker as well as outlined it with a silver gel pen.

Please remember to come back tomorrow to see my first Hanna GDT challenge card :) thanks a bunch! :)

I made this card for the Little Papershop color challenge as well as the PCPSketch challege. I decided to try something different and drew my matting for the card and images instead of adding layers of paper. The butterflies are by inkadinkado and are created using the spotlight technique. I colored them with my prismacolor markers, added glossy accents and Martha Stewart fine crystal glitter. The sentiment is by plaid. I really had fun making this simple card. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Monday.

HUGS!!!!!!!!

I love this little image (which is free by the way!!!) by MyGrafico. I used her once weeks ago and was happy to get the chance to use her again. I am going to submit this card to the PCP MyGrafico challenge as well as the Our Creative Corner challenge: 3 embellishments. I colored this little girl with my prismacolor markers. The paper is from my Secret Sister over on Cafe Mom. The flower and ribbon are also RAKed, from my friend Cassandra I think.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Let's Get Together, yea yea yea

OK, YES! I watched the Parent Trap tonight. The first one. I LOVE that movie :). My son is SO into superheros and was wanting a superhero movie. The cartoons now are so violent and just crude :(. I have been very disappointed in Marvel lately. My son was actually looking at Marvel kids today on the computer while I was cleaning. (he actually knows how to google search it... I had started him off on funbrain :( ) Anyway ~ I heard a curse word?? What?? I went and rewound what he was watching on the little video thing and YUP! So there Marvel Kids went and will never return. Of course he did not hear the word, never has ... and did not understand why he could not be on there. He was MAD at me to say the least. WAY later in the day after the storm settled and we picked Hannah up I told him he could pick out a movie as his 'prize'. He got a happy meal last night and gave his sister the toy (because it was a unicorn, lol, he missed her, and he was sad she could not go swimming with us. :) He is a sweetie and I promised him a small prize for doing that. We hit walmart and the movies were all HORRIBLE! The superman cartoons were PG13. I was not about to even look at the hulk or anything like that. These cartoons are NOTHING like they were when we were youngins! That is the truth! We did find the set of all 4 original Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. ((THEN he had an absolute fit about me fixing his har like SM :). Before bed he put his tie, belt and dress clothes ... and his superman dress up suit by his bed. I guess he will be Clark all day tomorrow, lol! ))He and his dad stayed in the LR watching the first while Han and I made a bed in her floor and watched the Parent Trap. We had a sunbutter and jelly sandwich with coffee.. lots of giggles and sillies. It was all in all a wonderful night. I got the chance to make this simple card for the PCP challenge which is to use a MyGraphico image. This one is one of their freebies. I have never really used a 'solid' image and thought I would give it a try. Oddly enough it took me just as long to make this card as it does for me to make one with a colored image. I think I was a little intimidated by it. I am happy with the card overall. I added a lot of paper piercing and the silver birds nest embellies to give it more pizazz for lack of better word. (did i mention i am tired and it is late? lol) I have not participated in a challenge there in so long. It feels good to take the first step back in :). sigh. have a wonderful night my friends. Thanks for putting up with my toooo long and jumbled posts ;).
