For this little guy I used my Holly Jolly Cricut Cartridge and I welded a triangle on his head in the Cricut Craft Room. I took the "Happy" and the "Year" from PKS-01 Snow Head Ornament One.

Peachy Keen Stamps Kit Club of the Month for January!

Hi Ladies and Gents,
I just wanted to share with you a few cards that I've been working on using the PKS SOTM for January! I used it for all three valentines. You can see how easy it was to create these cards using the one angel stamp and the sentiments too. I used the same basic layout for all three cards all I did was change out the different patterned papers to give each card it's own look.

Peachy Keen Stamps Linky Party!!

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!!

Exciting Peachy News

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.

Hi Everyone,

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!!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face It Friday Challenge #30

Hi Dear Friends,

It's the last Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday of 2011!!!
I hope you all are ready for a fun challenge!!

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!!
