It's going to be alot of fun and you are going to LOVE this new set! It's perfect for the upcoming summer months but so versatile it can be used right into the falltime!!
Well, on to the challenge...
This week's challenge is a color challenge using the most amazing photograph. This photo really gets me in the mood for summer and excited for the fair! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm in LOVE with the Fair! So this one is perfect for me!

Here's the photo inspiration...isn't it gorgeous?

And here is my take on the colors....

I used the beautiful fairy and little birds from the PKS SOTM kit June! I stitched, misted, painted and hand cut elements on this layout. I hope you like it and it inspires you to take our challenge!!

Here's mine... I used the PKSC-04 April 2012 Kit of the Month to stamp the super cute cupcake with party hat. Then I used the PK-105 Happy Hour set for the tiny cupcakes and sentiment. I masked the faces off of the cupcakes. I used a little bit of twine for around my cupcake and put her on an action wobble too!

It's Peachy Keen Sneaky Peeky Time!

Good Morning Everyone,
After keeping this under our hat's for quite a while, it's finally time to give you some sneak peeks of the brand new PKS Stamp of the Month kit for June! These are the most adorable stamps yet!

For my first card I used the sweet little birdies. OH my gosh they are so adorable and can be stamped with the faces included in the kit or with other PKS birdy faces like I did here. The face on the two birds on the left are from the kit and the little yellow bird face is from PK-482 Winter Wonderland Face Assortment. The little birdbath and sentiment are in the June kit and I popped the red bird up using pop dots!

For my second card, I used the adorable frogs from the June kit. They have two faces, one girl and one boy! The sweet sentiment is also in the June kit. Lastly, I used the tree stump and little house front from the March Stamp of the Month kit.

For my last card I used the super duper cute turtle stamp. This stamp is so fun it just makes me smile! I used an action wobble for the little turtle on the right and the sentiment is from the June kit!

Thanks so much for stopping by this sneak peek! For more fun peeks check out the other PKS DT members blogs today, tomorrow and Monday leading up to the big ReLeAsE on Tuesday, June 5th!!

And don't forget to check out the Peachy Keen Connection for even more inspiration and friendship!!

PKS Alumni Blog Hop - That's what friends are for!

Good Morning Friends, 
Today is our Peachy Keen Stamps Alumni Blog Hop!!
If you've found your way here from Nikki's blog you are right on track and right in the midst of all the excitement and fun!
We've got some fantastic give prizes ... one $50, one $30, and one $20 gift certificate all from Peachy Keen Stamps!
Here's how you can win. Leave a comment on each of the designers blog posts and the Peachy Keen Stamps blog. Only three of the designers will be giving away a prize. We don't know which of us are giving away the prizes so your best bet is to comment on every designers blog post (and the PKS blog too!).

When I first heard about this Alumni Hop I wanted to use one of my most favorite new stamp sets from PKS, the Here Kitty Kitty Face Assortment (PK-110). I LOVE this stamp set, it is adorable! I just adore the separate whiskers!
I created a layout featuring my sister, I and my two kitties (Hansel and Gretel). I was stumped for a title, but a friend of mine at the crop that I was at suggested "The Meowingtons). I thought it was cute!

 I also created a card using the same stamp set, PK-110 and the sentiment is from PKSC-04 April 2012.

I hope you like my creations and are ready to continue on with the Alumni Hop!

Your next stop is Sweet Viv!! I'm positive she has some treats for your eyes that you will not want to miss....

Peachy Keen Stamps May Stamp Release!

The time has come...finally! Our PKS May Stamp Release! This has been such an exciting week with all the sneak peek and now our BiG Party to showcase the GorGeOus stamps this month from Peachy Keen! These stamps are so fantastic you are going to love them, plus they are one of the most versatile sets ever!! There are faces (LOVE the faces), there are sentiments, there are images that can be used in so many different ways! Just A-Mazing!
I just want to show you a few of the projects that I've created with the May Stamps from PKS!

For this first card I used the Japanese Lanterns from the PKSC-05 May 2012 set. I stamped them onto patterned paper and cut around them. I used the adorable faces from the set on each lantern. I also used the PK-117 Picnic Tablecloth Background, which I love for the background of my card!

 For this card I again used the PK-117 Picnic Tablecloth Background for one of the layers of my card. I then used the SuPer CuTe PK-115 Let's Ketchup stamp set for the ketchup and mustard bottles. The mustard squiggle and ketchup splat also came from this set! The sweet little faces and the sentiment came from PK-116 We go together set! These sets are so perfect for mixing and matching! LOVE!!

For this card I again used the PKSC-05 May 2012 set. I stamped the images onto patterned paper and then cut around them. I used the sentiments and face from the set!

I hope you like my cards and that you will head on over to the Peachy Keen Store to check out these sets for yourself! They are so perfect for Mother's day, Father's day, Memorial day and all the summer months to come! You'll love them!
