Peachy Keen Challenge and News

I have some WONDERFUL and VERY exciting Peachy Keen Stamps news. I was lucky to be chosen as a Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer for 2011. This means that the week of August 22-26th, 2011, you will see a week full of Peachy Keen fun on my blog. My posts for that week will also be posted on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. I will also get to give away a Peachy surprise donated by Peachy Keen Stamps during my guest week. I'm so happy. I love Peachy Keen Stamps. I've tried out for a few design teams in the past and haven't made the cut. Although this is only a guest designer position I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the opportunity Peachy Keen Stamps! And thanks to all of you for endulging me in this little celebration. For a full list of Guest Designer's Visit Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

I made a card for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. The challenge was to do some embossing on your project. I finally found me the Polka Dot Cricut embossing folder and decided to try it out. This is a shape card made with the Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge. So yes, it is supposed to be a tag, but I thought it would make a cute shape card.

I love snow people and these Peachy Keen Stamps make her look SO cute. I also love my twine. I think it definitely adds to her scarf.

I have had a bunch of people ask me about the twine. I have bought mine at a local scrapbooking store for 15 cents a yard. They have twine from both The Twinery and Divine Twine. However, I found an awesome sampler pack that The Twinery offers. It is $14.95 for 120 yards of twine in all 8 colors. Shipping was reasonable, so if you are in the market for some twine this is a great deal. Just click HERE to go to this offer.

Wrapping Things Up

The Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday challenge was to use a Peachy Keen face stamp and a paper bag. I need to get some wrapping done so I made some wrapping paper and a tag.

Unfortunately I let my neighbor borrow my stamps that have the to: and from: on them so I had to hand write it. It looks alright but the stamps would have been nicer. I added an Action Wobble to the tag, so here is a short video demonstrating the wobble-man tag.



As always videos suggested after mine are not endorsed by me.

Items Used:

Peachy Keen Snowman stamp "Snow Much Love"

Paper Sack
Hello Kitty Greetings for the snowman
Action Wobble
Twine

Disneyland Find!

I was at Disneyland this past week. It was beautiful all decorated for Christmas. The weather was gorgeous. And we had a really good time too. I came home with a sick child and husband, but that could have happened just as easily at home. In fact we are pretty sure my daughter caught her cold before we left on the trip. Anyway, while shopping I found this adorable gingerbread mix and cookie cutter, does it remind you of something I just made? I guess great Disney loving minds think alike. I can't wait to use it. I will try to remember to post pictures if we get them made up.

I hope you are all doing well. I hope to get a couple things made this week to post on here. I guess we will see how things go with the sick ones. Take care!
