Peachy Keen Stamps - Fond Farewell Blog Hop

Well it is official, my year as a member of the  Peachy Keen Stamps design team has come to an end. It has been a dream come true and I will treasure it always. Kathy has been so sweet and supportive and has worked her Peachy magic over and over again. Angelica, DoBea and Lorie have all been amazing to work with as well. I cannot imagine the amount of time they put in to keep everything rolling along smoothly. Thanks to all of you for your love and support as well.

I CAN NOT wait to see who made the team for next year. I've watched a lot of your projects this year and I've got my fingers crossed for so many of you.

Anyway, you should have arrived here from Cristina's blog, if not make sure to get the whole hop in by starting at the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. There are AMAZING prizes and lots of inspiration at EVERY stop.

We were all asked to share 3 of our favorite projects for the year. So here we GO...

This is one that was made using one of the awesome Stamp Kits of the Month. Kathy has amazed us month by month with some incredible stamps. This one is from the June 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month.

This one has a sentiment from the April 2012 Stamp Kit of the Month and the darling little face was a new set from this year as well called Here Kitty Kitty Face Assortment.

And I had to end it off with a peach card I made for one of the Peachy Keen Connection challenges this year. The face is from an assortment called Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment. It is an oldy but a goody. 

For the giveaway at my stop Kathy is going to let me give away one of my favorite sets called Happy Lashes Face Assortment. I love these faces, they just make me happy! Thanks for being so kind and generous Kathy! All you need to do is leave me a comment and a way to contact you. Thanks again for a WONDERFUL year! Hugs- Glora

Wishing you a Fairy Happy Birthday

Here is the first card in detail from the Peachy Keen Stamps and Core'dinations Blog hop a couple of weeks ago. This card is one of my favorites because of the colors and because I absolutely LOVE Teddy Bears. 

The card base comes from the Create a Critter cartridge sized at 4.25 x 5.5". The background rectangle was hand cut at 3.5" x 4.75". This little bear came from the Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite cartridge. I cut her at 3.5". I used a star paper punch to make her a wand. The sentiment for this card come from the Peachy Keen Stamp set called Mini Fairies and Girl Gnomes. Her darling face comes from the Here Kitty Kitty 1 1/8" face assortment. I used some Stickles and Glossy Accents. All of the papers are Core'dinations and I also used the Core'dinations sander on the pre-embossed polka dot background and the bears ears and tummy. All of the edges are inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and I also did a lot of faux stitching with my Sakura GellyRoll Pen.

I hope you have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #14 - Color Inspiration

*** If you are looking for the My Creative Time April Release Blog Hop scroll down or click HERE ***

Hello Peachy Keen fans and welcome to another Color Inspiration Challenge. Isn't this a fun and bright color combination? The brightly colored balloons are what started me off on my take on this challenge.

I always need birthday cards and I wanted another excuse to use the new Here Kitty Kitty face stamps so this is what I came up with.

I used the April SKOTM for the sentiment. I did LOTS of inking on EVERYTHING and added lots of little faux stitching. I accented the hat with a little pearl and the balloons with some twine strings.

I hope you are having a terrific day and I hope you will be able to come and play in the Color Inspiration Challenge with us. Make sure to check out the PKS Challenge blog so you can see what everyone came up with. These ladies are AMAZING! Hugs- Glora
