***If you are looking for the Peachy Keen Spring Fling Blog Hop please scroll down to the next post.*** Today's challenge over at 365 Cards is On the Edge: Create a card by stamping only along the edges with the only exception being the sentiment. Here is my example: The butterfly is from Peachy Keen Stamps' April Stamp of the Month kit . The sentiment is a rub on from Kaisercraft. The corners for the sentiment were punched with the Stub/Deco Corner Chomper from We R Memory Keepers.

I figured out what is wrong with my camera, and I now need to use it on manual focus only until I either get it fixed or purchase a new camera. I will apologize ahead of time, but my camera has gone into an early retirement, so I am having to make do with a sub. As soon as I can, I will replace my photos with so...

Hello out there!! Are you still there? I know, it's been forever, and I even forgot to post my card last Saturday for 365 Cards! But I have lots of stuff to post about, and I may break it up throughout the day. {You never know, there might be something worth waiting for at the end of the day ;)} Well, onto today's challenge for 365 Cards . The prompt is Imagine This: Sassy. So, my mind immediately went to this month's release over at Peachy Keen Stamps. Kathy has a cute little sentiment stamp that I thought would work perfectly! All of the elements on this card are from either the Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month Club or the Peachy Picks Kit Club {which is unfortunately sold out for this month}. Also, Peachy Keen is having a HUGE "Gobble it Up" sale going on right now through the end of Monday evening. You can go here and find out all of the great details!! And let me tell you, you do not want to miss out. Hint, hint... free stamp set with...

I am running real behind today, so please except my apologies!! Today is such an exciting day for us over at Peachy Keen ! Day One of sneak peeks of the new November releases!! Here is my card for today, featuring both the Stamp of the Month Kit and the Peachy Picks Kit. I am in love with that reindeer! Did you know that the Peachy Picks Kit supplies you with enough product to make 18 size A2 cards, plus plenty of left over patterned paper and embellishments to keep making more? Even if you are not a card maker, but scrapbook, you can get 9 8.5" x 11" pages done with know problem!  I myself have been making some 6" x 8" pages that fit perfectly in the new Sn@p albums from Simple Stories and the 6x6 paper pad is great for these smaller sized pages. Well, I hope you enjoyed today's card, and I will be back again tomorrow with another new project for you to check out. Don't forget to peruse the other wonderful projects from our talente...

It's a brand new challenge day over at the Peachy Keen Challenge blog !! Our project today is based on this sketch: And here is my take on it. I pretty much followed it to a t! I have been making projects like crazy getting ready for all of the sneak peek days coming up for Peachy Keen Stamps and Market Street Stamps , that this was a real nice break just follow along!! I will see you back here real soon with the first day of sneaks from Peachy Keen's newest release!

Hello and welcome back for another Saturday challenge from 365 Cards ! Today's prompt is "It's not too late!" Create a belated birthday card. The stamps I used are from Peachy Keen Stamps' Happy Hour and With a Cherry on Top! sets. It's kind of  hard to see, but I stamped a candle behind the sentiment in a pale pink. It is much more visible in person. I am off to watch the big one at swim sectionals, wish us luck!! I'm Late Stamps: Peachy Keen Stamps {Happy Hour, With a Cherry On Top!} Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye {Life of the Party} Beads: Maya Road Flower: Crate Paper Twine: The Twinery Ink: Memento

Woohoo! It's another great challenge over on the Peachy keen Stamps Challenge Blog and this one is always a favorite!! That's right! You can enter any kind of project you want with any kind of theme you want.  I stayed up late last night working on my Copic coloring skills trying to squeak out any sort of mojo that I could for this challenge, but it just wasn't happening. The coloring isn't my best, but what can I do? It's practice makes perfect right?? Well, I tried with renewed spirit this morning for the rest of the card, and this is what I came up with. I am just loving this turkey! He just screams "Stick a fork in me, I'm done." to me, heehee!! Don't forget about the October release party over on the Peachy Keen Connection tonight starting at 6pm CST. You get to see all of the new releases, check out what the design team has been up to with the images, and maybe even try your hand at some more challenges to try to win...

So happy to see you again! Glad you made it back for the third day of sneak peeks. Peachy Keen Stamps ' October release will finally be fully revealed tomorrow night at 6 pm CST over on their blog . You can join in on the release party over on the Peachy Keen Connection also and have a chance to win some fun prizes. Now, on to my project for today. Again, I used both the October Stamp of the Month kit and the Peachy Picks kit, and made these wood harvest blocks.  The cardstock, patterned paper, trimmings, buttons and bling are all part of this month's Peachy Picks kit, and the images are from the Stamp of the Month kit. Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out the other sneak peeks over on the Peachy Keen blog !!!

Welcome to day two of the Peachy Keen Stamps October Release Sneak Peeks!!! I am having so much fun playing with this month's kits!! Both the Stamp of the Month and Peachy Picks are awesome beyond belief! I am going to be sharing some projects that are pushing past just the normal run of the mill cards that I normally produce for the sneaks, so keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the week. I know that the Peachy Picks kit is sold primarily as a card kit, but there is so much more that you can do with this!! If you have been a follower of mine, you know my things run on the simple side for the most part, so these kits really jut go a long ways for me. So sit back, relax and enjoy what is coming your way in the coming days!! Also, don't forget to swing on by the Peachy Keen blog to check out some more great peeks!!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is already coming up next month? I can barely believe it's not Summer anymore! Though the days are getting cooler, I am loving the earthy smell in the air and the warm bright colors of Fall in the trees and on the ground. Here is a layout I made of last year's trip to the local corn maze. The papers and embellishments in the Peachy Picks kit work perfectly with the Stamp of the Month kit as usual. Doesn't Kathy do wonders with these stamps?!? Here is a close-up of the colored corn I added to the layout. And I also made a card. I love this raffia that is included in the Peach...

Good morning friends, and welcome to Angelica's Fond Farewell Blog Hop. Angelica Suarez has served as the Design Team/Marketing coordinator for Peachy Keen Stamps, for the past three years, and as many of you may have read from her post here a few days ago, she has made the difficult decision to leave her position here at Peachy Keen for a new and exciting opportunity in the printing industry, which is near and dear to her heart. It's a bittersweet celebration for us, as we are sad to see her go, but we know that she will be a tremendous success in this new venture, and we couldn't be happier for her. It is for this reason that those of us who have had been blessed to work with Angelica have come together to bid her a fond farewell and share some special creations that we have made to let her know how much she means to us, how much we have enjoyed working with her, how much we are going to miss her and that we wish her all the best. We are thrilled that you coul...
