Peachy Keen Stamps Linky Party!!

2012-01-13T11:00:00.002-05:00

Hello Friends,

It's my first post for Peachy Keen Stamps in the New Year and we thought we would have a PaRtY!! A PKS Linky Party that is... with lots of inspiration from our Design Team using the Brand New PKS Stamp Kit of the Month for January and the Cupid's Sting stamp set! You are going to love these two new stamp sets! They are full of whimsy and perfect for any project for the upcoming holiday but versatile to be used for just about anything, as you can see with my first two cards.

I made these cards using the beautiful faces from PKS Stamp Kit Club of the Month (PKSC-01 January 2012)! For the little snowmen I also used PK-520 Winter Face Assortment and PK-500 Snow Cutie Face Assortment. The sentiment is from one of my most favorite stamp sets PK-331 Our 2 Angles in Heaven!

I used the super adorable PK-295 Cupid's Sting stamp set for this card! I also used PK-296 XOXOXOXO A-2 Background Stamp for the strip behind little Cupid. This little guy is so much fun to color!!Lastly, for the sweet princesses on this scrapbook page I used... yes... you guessed it, my favorite faces from the PKS Stamp Kit Club of the Month (PKSC-01 January 2012)! I love these faces so much!
OK, so now for some fun! You can play along too at our linky party. All you have to do is go over to the PKS Blog and link up any New Peachy Keen Stamps project!!
Don't forget...Make sure your project was made new for this challenge and that you used Peachy Keen Stamps on it!!
Also, please check out my fellow DT members blogs (all their links are here on the left of my blog) for even more inspiration!!

2012-01-03T19:05:00.002-05:00

Hello Everyone,

As some of you may know, Peachy Keen Stamps had an open call for their new 2012 Design Team. I am thrilled and beside myself with excitement to share that I'll be staying on as one of their DT members for 2012! I applied last month hoping but not really sure that I might be chosen to stay on.
I have had the most amazing and positive experience being on the PKS DT (secretly, I really didn't want it to end). I know this year is going to bring so many wonderful new stamps from Peachy Keen and gorgeous projects from this collection of lovely ladies!!

Here is the 2012 Design Team in no particular order! :)

Before I sign off for the night, I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite Peachy Keen Stamps pages. Peachy Keen holds a soft space in my heart not only because of the A-mazing and wonderful people behind it but because of it's name. I'm a military brat who was born in Albany, Georgia so for my whole life I've been called my parents Georgia "Peach". How perfect to then be on the Peachy Keen Stamps Design Team.

Thank you Kathy, Angelica, Dave, Adrianne and all the rest of the lovely folks who work at PKS!!

I'd also like to say a loving farewell but NOT goodbye to my original Peachy Sisters. These are the ladies who I have come to know and love so much!!
Viv, Janice, Emma, Samantha, Lisa, Joanna, Erin and Ruthie! Hugs Ladies!!

Cricut Cartridge Review Series Info.

2012-01-02T11:19:00.002-05:00

I created a separate page on my blog for a list of all my Cricut Cartridge Review Series (CCRS) Videos.
You can find it at the top left of my blog or from this link.
I thought this would make it easier to find exactly which cartridge review you would like to see.
I made a resolution to myself to make more CCRS videos this year!!

Happy New Year 2012!!!

Hi Dear Friends,

It's the last Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday of 2011!!!

THE CHALLENGE

Create a project using your PKS Faces and incorporate the colors provided.

The Guidelines:

Design must be new
Project must include PKS Faces
Link up by 1/12 - 11:59 pm CDT

Here's Mine, I used PK-460 Happy Lashes on the balloons and PK-440 Cute and Cuddly on the face of my little fox.

After 2 hours on the phone with a PC rep. I finally am able to cut using the Cricut Craft Room! YIPPEE! So, I am now able to cut with the 4 preloaded cartridges on my E2 using Hide Contour! I was able to hide the face on the little fox from Just a Note and then stamp the face with my PKS Cute and Cuddly Face!!!
These are photos of my niece Catherine and nephew Colin around the same age. Colin in 2004 and Catherine in 2007. Catherine is wearing the hairpin lace dress that has been in our family for 100 years. My grandmother wore it, my Aunt and so did I. I was so thrilled to be able to put her in it and take some photos. I've scrapped this photo a few times, I love it so much!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this next challenge. If you haven't already, check out the Peachy Keen Connection Ning Community! You will find endless inspiration there and loads of friendly folks!!

Holiday Tags made with Peachy Keen Stamps

2011-12-03T08:16:00.007-05:00

Good Morning Friends,

I made some Holiday tags for my nephew's PTA Craft Fair at his school. The children are able to buy beautiful crafts for their families. Then the presents are wrapped and the children take them home to put under their tree until Christmas. It's a nice way for the kids to feel that they "bought" their own gifts for their loved ones.
I worked on the tags for most of November and I wanted to get 100 finished. I did finish 72 or 73...not bad!

Here is a direct link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLFStRnpBQM
Sometimes it works for me and other times it does not.

All my tags were made using Peachy Keen Stamp faces, you can find them here!

The faces on my little gingerboys are stamped with PK-484 Snowmany Face Assortment ! And I used dimensional fabric paint to frost these little guys.

30 Days of Cards-Day 1

2011-11-01T07:56:00.007-04:00

Good Morning All!
Happy November 1st!!

I decided to challenge myself for the whole month of November to create one Holiday card a day!! I figure by the end of the month I'll have 30 cards to send out and I'll get to use all of my Christmas cartridges. I love my Christmas cartridges but I'll admit, Winter Frolic is my absolute favorite. I don't even think that I've cut half the cute shapes on it. So, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to use it more and all the other Christmas cartridges that I have... Winter Wonderland, Christmas Cheer, Christmas Solutions, Holly Jolly, Joys of the Season. I also have Stretch your Imagination, Simply Charmed, Smiley, A Child's Year and Doodlecharms. These are not specifically Christmas cartridges but they all have Christmas shapes on them.

Well, here's my card for November 1. I hope you like it and that you check back each day to see a new card!!

I used my Holly Jolly cartridge to cut this little elf. I also used my PK-482 Winter Wonderland Face Assortment to stamp his adorable little face!

It's Friday and that means it's time for a Let's Face It Friday Challenge from PKS!!

Today's challenge is going to get you right into the seasonal spirit! Also, you are going to love the creations that the LFIF DT came up with this challenge. I am SO ready for Autumn. The leaves here in upstate NY have already started to change a bit. In a couple of weeks its going to be glorious!

Here's a photo from last fall around this time.

On to the Challenge:

Leaves are starting to fall from the trees, and it's time to get inspired! Using leaves as your inspiration or focal point, create a project showcasing your Peachy Keen Faces and the autumn leaves!

Now, here's a little bit of inspiration from me. I took these photos of my niece last fall-time. This little cheerleader outfit makes me think of fall-time and homecoming. I thought they would be the perfect photos for this challenge. I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze on all of the leaves to make them shimmer and of course my PKS faces, on the leaves and owls!!

Hello Everyone,
I can't believe it's time for another Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge. So much has happened in the past 2 weeks, they flew by. I hope everyone is safe and sound after Irene! <3

This challenge is perfect because school is right around the corner. The kids here start back up next Wednesday. So, the challenge is to create a project that they can bring to their new teacher or that helps them get back into the school spirit. Pencil cup holders, homework charts, etc. are great ideas! Don't forget to use your Peachy Keen Faces!

Guidelines:
Design must be new
Project must include PKS Faces
Link up by 9/15 - 11:59 pm CDT

Here's my project. I took Pounce kitty treat jars, peeled the label off and covered them with school themed patterned paper. Then I created a tag and tied it on with bakers twine. I cut an apple stamped it with my PKS Wide Eyed faces and popped it on the container! I filled one with binder clips and the other with rubber bands.

Every year I make my nephew a "First day of School" card. This year he's entering 2nd grade. Here's the card I came up with.

I hope you'll create along with us this week. The prize package (as usual) is FanTasTic!!

I wanted to post a video that I made about a mini that I made back in April. My nephew was in a musical, it was his first. He played a raccoon in the story of Hansel and Gretel. It was a sweet musical. I had to make him a special album to remember the day and all the hard work he (and his classmates) put into the musical!

The New Anyday Stamps!!

The stamp that I'm featuring is PK-289 Mitsy Sue and Colby Cheer Up Set and PK-291 Sampler Package of Faces

These stamps are genius, you can swap the faces. So if you dont want your little Colby mouse to be sad, swap out his face and make him surprised! It's amazing!!

Here's how it works...easy peasy!!

I start off by stamping the section I want to mask onto a post-it. Masking is the technique of stamping sections of one stamp. In this case I want my finished stamp image to be the mouse's body and not his little sad face.

Next, I cut out the face. The post-it note is sticky on the back and I place it onto my paper where I want to stamp my mouse body.

Then, I ink up my Peachy Keen Stamp and stamp the body over the post-it note face. This allows me to pick up the post-it and the face of the mouse is blank.

Lastly, I take my PKS Sampler Mouse face and stamp it into the little mouse body!

Here are a couple of cards I made using this technique!

I used a sharp pair of scissors and my exacto knife to cut around the little mouse!

I've decided that it's time to bring Quilling back in a new fresh way!! :)

Your next stop on the HOP is Kim over at Paper Punch Addiction!!

I used my favorite PKS-494 Everyday Character Face Parts and more! to create these sweet little chickens! Every year I go to the Great New York State Fair and I always see the Rainbow Chickens. I don't know if that's what they are really called but that's what my nephew calls them. We never miss them. Last year was my niece's first time getting to see them. So, here's my page. I hope you like it!

Here are some better photos of the Rainbow Chickens from the NY State Fair website.

I <3 the Fair!

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #15

2011-05-13T13:25:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,
Blogger's been having "issues" for the past couple of days so, my PKS Let's Face It Friday challenge post is a bit late. Well, better late than never!!

This challenge was an interesting one that really got me thinking...

The Challenge:
Get organized with chore charts, to-do lists, storage ideas & more using your Peachy Keen Faces! Our faces come in a variety of sizes, which make them SO easy to customize anything in the same face. Or, show your child what a great job they did by using one of our fun little faces on a household chore chart. The sky is the limit! Can't wait to see your crafty ideas!

We will be looking for the TOP 5 projects that are both creative and well executed.

-Design must be new
-Project must include Peachy Keen Faces
-Link up before May 25th

Winner will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the Peachy Keen Stamps store and a special "My design won at Peachy Keen Stamps" badge to display on their blog.
Remaining top 4 will receive a "Top 5" badge from Peachy Keen Stamps to display on their blog.

Here's mine,
I decided to make a "To Do" chart for my nephew and niece. It's for when they come to visit every week. I included things like putting on their slippers, eating snack and picking up their toys.
I used velcro buttons for the back of the little die cuts so that when they complete the task they can move the little die cut over to the right.

I hope you have fun with this challenge.

NSD layout #5

2011-05-08T16:47:00.004-04:00

The last page I finished yesterday was a summer layout. It is my sweet Godson Colin when he was about 1 year old in his little swing in the backyard! I love this photo and I never get tired of looking at it. It just feels like pure joy to me! I just love his little toes and I love to remember when they were so tiny!!

The papers I used are Debbie Mumm for Jo-Ann Nursery Rhyme pad. I also purchased the coordinating stamps that went with it. Unfortunately these items are no longer available but you might be able to find them on E-bay? The font is from Cricut's Zoobaloo cart (also retired, sorry). I painted the little piggy stamps with my Twinkling H2O's. (You can also find the Twinkling H2O's at scrapbook.com)

NSD layout #4

2011-05-08T16:39:00.004-04:00

Page #4 is of my kitties, Hansel and Gretel! They love to snuggle and cuddle. This is a perfect photo of them. Yesterday, while putting this page together they were wrestling, biting and hissing BUT for the majority of the time they are snuggling with each other!!

These papers are Crate Paper Neighborhood Collection. I love them! I've used up about 75% of the 6 by 6 pad I have. They are just so bright and happy! The title is also from the Cricut Lite cart Four Legged Friends and the tiny house in the bottom right corner is from Winter Woodland. I originally bought that cart for the 3D houses but I have since fallen in love with all the other things on it. The font is just lovely and the cuts on this cart can be used for so many different themes not just Christmas or Winter.

NSD layout #3

2011-05-08T16:25:00.003-04:00

The third page I created is on my dog, Prancer. Well, she's technically my dog but her true "Owner" is my Dad. She LOVES my Dad, he's her main guy! She had to wear this silly cone around her neck at night time for a little while and my sis got this great shot of her!
The papers I used are from the Peachy Keen Stamps online store and they are from the American Crafts Confetti Line. These papers are super gorgeous! Some are glittered, some are textured, I love them!! Check them out over at PKS along with buttons, ribbon, ric rac and brads too!!
The little dog and title are from Cricut's Four Legged Friends Lite cart, one of my newest and favorites!! It's a cart that originally I overlooked but then I watched a youtube where a lady cut the little pony. I can't remember her name but the little pony was so adorable that I had to get this cart!

oh, I found the video! Here it is by scrappyhour09

NSD layout #2

2011-05-08T16:14:00.003-04:00

Here's the second page I made yesterday. These are photos of my nephew and niece on Christmas Eve.
The papers are by K & Co., they are Yuletide. I love them. They are really gorgeous to look at. My mom bought them at Christmas time and I inherited them.... **wink, wink**! The little elves were cut from the Jolly Holly Cricut Cart that I won from Theresa at The Scrapbooking Queen back in December!! Yeah Theresa, I love this cart!! I stamped them using Peachy Keen Stamps Princess Face Assortment and Boy Mates! Two of my faves!!

National Scrapbooking Day layout #1

2011-05-08T16:06:00.003-04:00

I was thrilled to complete 5 pages yesterday. I have to admit, I do not scrap as much as I should and I feel lately like getting back to scrapping as much as I did back in '05 and '06! So, I was happy to take advantage of yesterday's NSD!!

Here is my first page. I used Making Memories Je t'Adore papers and Peachy Keen Stamps Wide Eyed Kids Faces! We caught my niece being silly while we were taking her photo on Valentines Day!!

A Birthday Princess Layout

2011-05-05T21:34:00.004-04:00

I'm on a Princess roll....actually, I realized that my niece is turning four at the end of the month and I have not scrapped her third birthday party photos. So, I decided to scrap them now.

Since she had a Princess cake, I made six little princesses to go on the layout.

When I make the princesses this tiny I do not cut all the layers. Instead of cutting the teeny tiny eyes, mouths and jewelery, I use my white opaque gel pen to color them in. I colored in the mouths with a white gel pen, then I let them dry and lastly I went over the mouths again with a red gel pen. I used a Sakura Souffle pen to color in the jewelery on Belle and Jasmine. I added Stickles to the princesses for some sparkle.

Behind this panel is another photo from the day along with all the journaling. I decided to hide it using this folded photo mat. It is kept closed with a paper clip that I attached Snow White to.

I hope you like my Princess Catherine Birthday Layout!!
Thanks for stopping by!

New Peachy Keen Stamps Die

2011-05-04T16:33:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to post a couple of cards that I made showcasing the New Peachy Keen Stamps Spring Release Duck and Egg Die!! This is the cutest little duck! When all cut out and assembled he stands approximately 3 and 1/2 inches tall. These PKS/Cottage Cutz dies cut like butter! I used my blue Cuttlebug but you can use them in most manual die cutting machines. Putting him together was super simple, just a little glue on his feather wings and little legs.

For both cards I used the American Crafts Confetti Collection which can also be found at the Peachy Keen Stamps website!

I made this first card for my dad. I just love the little sentiment from PK-266 Duck Dolls! It was perfect for my dad, "Get Well Ducky!" The AC Confetti paper is so cute along with their matching buttons and ribbon!

For this second card I also used the PKS-266 Duck Dolls for the sentiment and the sweet flower which I painted with my Twinkling H2O's.

I'm in love with this little Duck Die and you will be seeing more creations made with it here on my blog. If you would like a Duck Die of your own or would like to see any of the other PKS Spring Release dies, head over to their website at Peachy Keen Stamps and take a peek!

Mwahhh-Quack!!!
xoxo

Royal Wedding Blog Hop winners!!

2011-05-03T13:58:00.003-04:00

Hi Ladies and Gents!!
I was able to get 2 copies of the Royal Wedding Edition of the People magazine today! Yippee! It came out yesterday on the news stands. It is full of awesome photos and info!

Yesterday I spent the whole day at the Albany Medical Center Hospital. My dad had a catheterization and 4 stents placed in his heart.
The surgeon told us that they were not sure what they would find when they went in. He said they would either find nothing (meaning a false positive on the stress test/EKG) or a blockage. He also said if they found more than one blockage they might decide to do a bi-pass.
Well, they found four blockages (two of them were extremely tight) and ended up putting in 4 stents.
We were shocked. My dad has always been so healthy, no smoking etc. So, he then had to lay on his back for 6 hours because the incision site needed time to heal a bit before he could get up and walk around.
My mom made sure he was comfy, he ate his dinner and had a magazine and a box of cookies (my brother brought him). Then we left at 6pm.
Well, we stopped for gas on the way home and by the time we got home my dad had called from the hospital. He said they might release him that night...OMGosh!
So, at 10pm last night, my brother and I went back to the hospital and brought my dad home. Boy was he a happy camper!! He did NOT want to spend the night in the hospital! We are all very happy that he is home and on the mend!!

Now, on to the winners....

For the winner of the Peachy Keen Boy Mates assortment, random dot org picked

#21 Stephanie

and for the second set "My One and Only" from EMMA,

#86 Kimberly

Congratulations Ladies.
Please send me your address so I can get your sets right out to you!!

A Few Scrapbook Pages

2011-04-06T21:30:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted any scrapbook pages in such a long time. I thought I'd post some tonight. I did make a New Year's Resolution to scrapbook more. Unfortunately, I have not lived up to that but It is only April...so I can still make good on my resolution. And I know when the brand new Cricut Expression 2 comes out this month, I'll be scrapping like crazy!!

Any-hoo, here are a few pages that I've done this year!

This first layout is my favorite layout that I've done in a while. The top baby is my niece Catherine (2007) and the bottom baby is my nephew Colin(2004). I love how the Peachy Keen Stamps look on the little bunny rabbits. Sooooo sweet! The paper is from JoAnn's Nursery Rhyme Stack from a year or two ago.

I created the chess pieces using my Gypsy and watercolors. This was such a fun layout to create.

My little kitties from 2008 when they were babies. I love this Pink Paislee Sweetness paper! It's gorgeous! The kitty silhouettes are from A Child's Year and the font is the Gypsy Font.
This little snow angel girl is from Winter Frolic. I LOVE that cartridge. I think it's one of the most under rated Cricut Cartridge. I never really noticed it until last Christmas and I'm in love with it. These winter vintage papers are super old, I'm not even sure who made them.

This layout was super fun! I had just bought glimmer mist for the first time. So...I misted everything, the papers, the flowers, the ribbon, the lace...everything! FUN!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time! <3

Peachy Keen Stamps Spring Release!!!

2011-04-01T20:00:00.002-04:00

It's Time, It's Time!!
It's time for the PKS Spring Release unveiling!!
I absolutely fell in love with this set. It's so perfect for masculine pages and cards. It would be perfect for vintage scrapbook pages and Father's day cards.

Not only does this set include a variety of mustaches and a goatee but it also has a variety of eyeglasses. It would be perfect for creating teachers, students, Grandparents and your favorite kid character such as Harry Potter, Arthur or Simon the Chipmunk. These eyeglasses would also look cute on a secretary for Secretary's Day.

The very first thing I thought of when I saw this set was the photos I took of my nephew watching a Laurel and Hardy movie. I knew that this moustache would make the perfect Oliver Hardy!

I had this idea for a vintage card using all the mustaches, a set of the eyeglasses and a monocle. I made the monocle by inking only half of the eyeglass stamp.

Now on with the HOP!!!
You may have hopped here from Lorie's blog, in that case you can keep going on to Janice. If you just stumbled upon us, here is the complete list so you can start back at the beginning. And don't forget to comment on all the gals blog posts to win!!

It's time for the Peachy Keen Blog Hop!!!

2011-01-20T20:00:00.004-05:00

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am so very excited about this Valentines Day/St. Patrick's Day Peachy Keen Stamps Blog Hop and I hope you are excited to be here too!! Kathy has created some simply AmAzInG stamps for this release! You are in for a real treat! I can't say enough about these face stamps!!

The set I'm featuring is called PK-642 Boy Mates and it is a companion set to PK-640 Princess Faces! This set is perfect for so many Cricut cartridges, for example; B is for Boy, Simply Charmed, both Paper Doll carts, Twinkle Toes and Playmates (if you're lucky enough to have that one!) and more. I've used a variety of cartridges to make my creations for this blog hop.

I hope you enjoy....

I made a card for my dad to give to my mom! I hope she likes it!

I used a Creative Imaginations wooden door hanger to make this for my door for Valentine's Day!! I cut the flowers from Sugar and Spice. The "I Love You" is from Paper Pups. I think these little PKS faces look perfect on these flowers, so whimsical and sweet! I also had to add a photo of the darling little ribbon I found to tie onto the door hanger. I thought it went along with the flowers as if it was custom made. :)

I just purchased Meow cartridge and when I saw these PK-757 Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Faces, I had to use them! I cannot stop using these stamps!!

Now for the Give-Away!!

I'm so excited to be giving away PK-642 Boy Mates Face Assortment!! All you have to do is become a follower of my blog and leave me one comment on this post. That's it! I'll choose a random winner by Monday morning!! Good Luck! Also, each DT member is giving away a stamp set.

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #7

Good Morning Everyone!!

It's our first Let's Face It Friday Challenge of the New Year!! You are going to love this one because the give-away is one you don't want to miss!!

For this challenge you need to create a Thank You card using a Peachy Keen Stamp somewhere on the card! For my Thank You card I used my brand new Twinkle Toes cartridge that I got for Christmas. And I'm sending my card to the person(s) who gave me this Super Cute cartridge...my brother and SIL!

Check out the challenge here on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog and link your card to be eligible for the Awesome give-away!!

Then I was on a roll...here are a few more!

The stamp sets I used were PKS Laughy Taffy on the ballet shoes, Happy Lashes on the snowman and Simple Simon/Simple Sallies on the little children! :)

Twilight Card info.

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to give a few details on how I made the "Twilight" inspired card that I posted today.

The apple is from A Child's Year.
The ribbon is from Joys of the Season. It's the 5 Golden Rings, minus the rings.
The tulip was cut from 50 States. It's Vermont's flower from page 57. I cut it three times. Once in green, once in red and once in white. Then I cut each flower apart and layered them up to look like the tulip on the book.
The chess piece was created in Design Studio. I used Happily Ever After for the crown part of the piece. Then I used George and Basic Shapes to create the rest of the chess piece and welded it all together.

I did save the file in Design Studio. If any one would like me to email it to them, just send me a quick email and I'd be happy too!!

Thanks for asking about the directions, Cindy!!

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to my Sis!!

2011-01-06T10:29:00.005-05:00

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I think it's going to be a great 2011!!

Today is my Sissy's birthday and here is the card I made for her. It's Twilight inspired.

Happy Birthday Erica!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

***Here's some info on how to create this card!***

Hello Good Friends,

I've got some fun things to tell you tonight.

First, I've got some Peachy-Goodness to share! Some of you may have already read about this on the PKS blog but I just wanted to let everyone know that Peachy Keen Stamps will be having weekly Guest Designers all year in 2011!! It's a wonderful, diverse group of artists so you'll be seeing some amazing creations each week. You can check out the complete list of Guest Designers here!!

As some of you may know, I write a bi-weekly column for the Syracuse Post Standard. I do have a blog where I "post" the link to the column. I've been neglectful of that blog in 2010 but I have made a New Year's resolution to keep that blog up to date. Until I get it back up to date (which I will be doing in the next week or two) you can check out my column via this link. Thanks Everyone!!

Lastly, I wanted to share with you something that's new to me. Every week I listen to the Paperclipping Roundtable. I love Noel and Izzy!! They are awesome!! Well, over the holidays I got a bit behind in my podcasts and so Ive been listening to them all at once for the past day or so. They along with Nancy Nally co-host and founder of Scrapbook Update have been talking about Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas. So, I thought I'd check them out. WoW! They are gorgeous. Looking through Tim's tags inspired me to create one of my own. So, here it is. I used Winter Frolic for the tag base and for the sentiment. I used Jolly Holidays for the stocking. The shimmery paint is Twinkling H2O's in Deep Coral and Rose Gold. The patterned paper is from Graphic 45's Christmas Past collection. Thanks for stopping by!!

Got Scraps?
