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.
