Thank you to everyone for joining in with my little quiz  HERE.  It was fun reading all your lovely comments. I bet if I'd have used deep red ribbon, the outcome would have been different for some of you eh.  (But then there would have been no fun little quiz would there).  Ha Ha. Enough rambling, drum roll....Ta Da! The winner is # 23   DEBBY of  'Debby's Stampin' Heaven'.

This candy is now closed. Which would you choose? Do you think it's a Valentine card, or an anniversary card? (The embossing is done with a Sizzix embossing folder) You can find it in the USA HERE, or if you're in GB, HERE (and it costs twice as much, as usual)! Leave me a comment telling me what YOU would prefer it to be for and I'll put your name in the hat to win a Peachy prize!!

Made three cards yesterday!! Must be getting back into the swing after Christmas! I must admit, my get up and go has got up and gone since the Festive Season's cards all got posted. So, I told myself off and got stuck in. (One of the cards you will see later, as there's a prize to win). Come back at 6pm GMT, 12 noon Central Time to see what it is! Anyway, for now, I have these to share

Well almost! I used 'em for the spots. lol I'm off out shortly braving the gale-force winds that have sprung up overnight,  but thought I'd put this card up before I left, as I might be blown to the next county!!! This card is for a friend of mine. I'm really loving this pack and will surely overdose on it!! It's the 'Tradewinds' pack by DCWV. (The designs are so RICH). The

I just ADORE this little cherub!! She reminds me of my grand-daughter Teigan. (Only Teigan is NO cherub at times)! lol She's made using stamps from one of Peachy Keen's first Stamp Clubs. PKSC-01 You can find out all about it   HERE, along with details of the brand new Peachy Picks!! OK, back to my card. I coloured her with Copics as per usual. I found a green original Sizzix heart

Yes, it's time to bow out and make way for new blood at Peachy Keen. I've had the time of my life, made friends for life and met my heroines at the Peachy Keen workshop. Thank you Peachy Keen for 2 and a half years of pure joy! If you are interested in having a fabulous ride for the whole of next year,  go HERE to the PK blog for all the details.

My mum always used that phrase. I think we all know it means something that's different from the original. but almost the same. Well, I had a bash at that with my all time favourite Peachy Keen Stamp and Die combo. PKKO-08 and PKS-12   You saw THIS one that I did.. I wanted something a little different, so came up with this.... Yep, it's the same tree, but I lost the skirt around

Yep, I've only got one more birthday between now and Christmas, (well, except for my own on the 11th), so that doesn't count! lol I made this last night while I couldn't sleep. Dunno why I can't sleep properly lately. But at least, I've got my craft room for company when I can't! I just LOVE these Gingerbreads. This little lady is from PK-417 (There's a boy in the set too).

Oh well, it's the thought that counts, isn't it? Here's his card... I love this boat stamp and don't use it nearly as much as I should. It's from 'Art Impressions'. (As is the 'clouds').

What a great day it was too! (Apart from the vicar nearly drowning Alfie)! Ha Ha! Here he is...  No-one remembered to bring a camera except Alan and as I was up on the 'stage' I couldn't take any until after, when I got these. How daft were we all!  Here's Alfie and Tegian, my grand-daughter holding hands while marching around the church.  It was SO funny when the vicar Baptized him.

I got the format for this from a smashing craft shop in Edgeley, Stockport. The cut and emboss folder is by Marianne Designs. The gorgeous matt pearlescent ruby card was from the craft shop and the scrolls at the sides are Nesties. The base card is also matt pearlescent. I've had that CS for ever!!

Hi everyone. Not been able to craft much this past couple of weeks,  due to being so popular with friends and family ! LOL I'm not complaining though, I'm lucky in that my boys live close enough to be able to come by at almost a moment's notice. I must admit also, that the medication for the Lymphoma is causing a side effect or two as well and I've not felt 100% on a few occasions. Not

Hello everyone! I was sent amongst other things, (which I will save for a future post), a mini acrylic album from the Queen Peach Kathy, to play with.  Hmm!!! Talk about a challenge!!! Me! Acrylic! Nah! I had no idea what to make of it and it intrigued me for weeks. It finally got the better of me, so I researched how to go about making an album. I visited You tube and DT Sistah,

Hi everyone! I trust you all had a pleasant weekend,  whether celebrating a Holiday, or just enjoying some sunshine. I did some radical hedge trimming yesterday and I got stabbed in the thumb by a thorn! Ouch! Our hedges are hawthorn and they are LETHAL!!! Who's daft idea was it to plant hawthorn hedges!! What was wrong with privet for Heaven's sake! It makes a great hedge and doesn't attack

 I made a card today based on a technique that Theresa Momba of (Crafting The Web) uses! Compared to her fabulous sponged cards, mine is in the infant's class, but I don't mind. I'll keep at it and I will get somewhere near eventually. I LOVE sponging, or in actuality, it's more 'brushing'. I use a set of Dream Weaver stencil type brushes I got at the Make It show in Farnborough earlier

Well, when I made my first card, I wasn't exactly thrilled with it for some reason. It seemed a bit 'bland' if you know what I mean. Here it is........ LOVE that Kitty. (PK-289, Mitsy Sue and Colby Cheer up). As this is a sad card, (and we need those now and again, don't we).....  ....I thought I'd make a contrasting 'happy' card!...... I used my gorgeously cute little bunny, PK

We've been kind and left out the 'twist' for this challenge. My card is a bit wonky and imperfect. I'm happy though, 'coz my mojo is coming back!! For this week's challenge, I set to to play with another new Peachy Keen release called 'Skunk Cheer Up'. Now, I'll admit it's not my best work, but I'm rubbish at colouring black and wanted to get a bit of practice in. (I'm still quite chuffed

It's my Daughter -in-Law's birthday today and she wants to get into scrap-booking. I'm glad, 'coz my granddaughter is a little smasher and a scrap book will be wonderful. So, I bought her her first scrap book for her birthday and Pam, my best bud and I, have given her loads of 12x12 papers to start her off. Here's a photo of Teigan having a 'picnic'. It will make a lovely scrapbook page.

Update!!!! The wonderful person who I contacted at Craft Edge Support  has managed to give me a new activation code and I'm now up and running again with my SCAL2. PHEW!!! That's one less problem. Well actually, a new home CARD! But I DO have a new PC. I inadvertently opened a virus called the UPS Trojan. It was a seemingly innocent e-mail telling me a tracking number for a package.  I

Where DOES the time go! Since the last challenge, I've had that horrible bug, (I'm over it now for the most part, I'm pleased to say)! Mac, our 6month old puppy, has had his bits off and today he had his stitches out. He gets really car sick. Anyone have any remedies? I do have tablets from the vet, but would prefer alternatives, if there are any out there? Well, enough of Mac's woes, on to

I've made this card for my daughter-in-law's birthday on Saturday. (It's OK, she doesn't see my blog). The stamp is by Lili Of The Valley and is called 'On the garden Wall'. Now this cute couple are the image of Claire and my son BJ.  So much so, I wanted to use it for their wedding anniversary card,  but as their anniversary isn't until January the 4th, I just couldn't resist and had to

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to all the wonderful ladies who took part in the previous PK Challenge and didn't get a comment from me. I was away for 5 days taking in the Make It Show at Farnborough, staying with my very good buddy Issy, during which time I got the dreadful virus that's been going round! So all in all, I've not been either available, or in a fit state to blog for nearly two

I wasn't going to start my Christmas cards for AGES, but when Kathy Queen Peach sent me a funny e-mail with this little guy in it, I just HAD to use him! The only problem is, my photography skills are SO bad, you can't really see his naffed off expression too well.  (I concocted the banner in Publisher using shapes and WordArt). I used sketch #46, as I have HERE for the new Peachy Keen

The set is called 'Cheep Talk' from Market Street Stamps . Created by the mega talented Angelica Suarez,  (daughter of our Peachy King and Queen, Kathy & Dave Jakopovich). Angelica is definitely a 'chip off the old block'!  With her cute range of stamps, she's following admirably in her mother's footsteps!

I have been in the Doldrums for a while now and hopefully, I've come out of 'em now! I have tons of stuff in my craft room and absolutely no mojo whatsoever to create anything for over a week! It was getting me down, but all of a sudden, I've got the urge to make something. Hopefully, I will be left undisturbed to 'play' today. In the meantime, here are some cards I made at a workshop I

I've made my very first card using my new Cricut Create...... It leaves a lot to be desired, but for my first attempt, I'm quite pleased. The scroll background and butterfly are from 'Straight From The Nest'. (I'm not 100% sure I did that butterfly right)! There is SO much to play with on that cartridge, I didn't know what to choose first! I think I'll cut another scroll square out

Seeing as I haven't got any completed projects to show you, I thought I'd copy this over from the Peachy Keen store!!! (Just in case you missed it). BOY! Are there some deals going on THERE! The very bestest one being the Scrappy Basket with $1000 worth of Peachy Keen goodies! (Scroll down and you'll see more deets). HERE WE GO!! Pretend this rhymes and that I am a great singer/

Hello everyone! Welcome to another super duper Peachy Keen challenge.  This week, we want you to create a card using ENCOURAGEMENT as your theme.  Remember, you are not obliged to use a PK stamp, but we would be VERY flattered if you did!  We also have the pleasure of a guest designer with us this week..... Mandy Ferg of the Polka Dot Spot!  Wowee!!! You really MUST go and visit her blog.
