For my "Windy" card I used PK-292 Faceless Corn. This set comes with two sizes of faces. They are so super cute with their crossed eyes and little buck teeth!! The faces I used on the corn were the smaller faces!! I colored my little corn on the cobs with my Twinkling H2O's.

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #25

Good Morning Crafters!!
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!

Guidelines:
Design must be new
Project must include PKS Faces
Link up by 10/13 - 11:59 pm CDT

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!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #23

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!!

Tiny Card Tags using Peachy Keen Stamps Dies and Stamps

Hi Everyone,
I'm so excited to share this with you. I got this idea from Glorajean at Glora's Crafts. She used one of Emma's dies to make a tiny card/tag. I thought maybe the PKS dies would work with this technique. And they did!! Here's a video showing what I did.

The prize for this challenge is amazing, it will be 3 packages of Nestabling and our Cute & Cuddly Faces 1-1/8" set!

I have to admit, ever since Kathy (aka: PKS Queen) came out with her new Christmas Character stamps I have been dreaming of Christmas and the holidays. I know, I know it's only August but I love the holidays!! I guess it's never to early to start getting ready!! :)

Here's my card,I made this little card by using my Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge on my gypsy. I welded the little girl and the tree together. Then I assembled the card and stamped her face with PK-640 Princess Face Assortment!! OK, one card done....many more to go....

Royal Wedding Acrylic Mini

I made this mini using an acrylic album that I got at Peachy Keen Stamps!!
I love this acrylic mini!!
