Peachy Keen Challenge #59..(with a twist this week)!

Oh what a lot of wonderful projects you all entered over the last two weeks at Peachy Keen! 

It was a pleasure to look at them all!

I'm sure that you will be just as creative THIS time too.

Here's your sketch...

Easy? Of COURSE it's easy! we want this to be FUN, not torture! lol

Now! The twist.... You must use BUTTONS somewhere on your creation.

There, how easy is that!

Here's what grabbed me this time.....

Doncha just LOVE that snowman!! I'm totally smitten with him and work him to death! lol

As you can see, this is an easel card with a Christmas theme. (My first one this year)!

Aren't those papers amazing! It's a K&Company pad called 'Yuletide'. I LOVE the papers. 

They are really heavyweight and the patterns are SO classy.

They are almost as nice as my snowman from  PK-329 'Chill Baby Chill'.

Now for the rules....

Create a card with the sketch and use BUTTONS somewhere on your project. 

(Peachy Keen Stamps are not required to participate, but if you've got 'em...flaunt 'em)!

Guidelines:
Design must be new

Must include elements of the twist (buttons) somewhere in your project

I also promised to draw a winner from THIS blog post today, and so without further preamble...

THE WINNER IS......

PATTI B!!

(I told hubby to give me number between 1 and 16, so Patti, you can thank my hubby for your stamps)! lol

Congratulations! Please e-mail me your details and I'll get your stamps sent off to you.

Ok, I'm off to see if I can persuade my lovely little snowman to do a bit more work.

Have a great week!

A bit of this and a bit of that

Here are some cards I made over the last couple of weeks, that I couldn't show you until the recipients had received them....

(There are quite few 'coz they all came at once)!!

The greeting is by Papermania.

The figure and bobbins were SCAL files cut on my Expression

The DP is from a DCWV pad, 'Linen Closet'. LOVE that pad!

                                A bit of twine and a bit of gold thread for the bobbins and that's that.

 I wanted CAS for this card. I wonder now if it isn't a bit TOO CAS!

I love this embossing folder! It's a Sizzix one.

The greeting is stamped onto a Nestie frame and sponged with SU's Crumb Cake.

The base card is Kraft. (My favourite).

 Now this one is a bit of a mystery. I've named it 'Lorie March 2011'.

Now, I only know one Lorie and her birthday is August and her REAL card is below this one!

I have no idea why I did one in March! I'm obviously losing the plot! LOL

 I DO know that it's a LOTV stamp and coloured with Copics.

The sentiment is a stamp by Inkadinkado.

 

Now, THIS is the REAL Lorie card! Ha Ha!

Another LOTV stamp.

 The DPs are from an 8x8 pad by First Edition Papers, called 'Love Letters'.

The sentiment is framed with a Nestie Diecut.

Coloured with Copics.

This card is made with Pink Petticoat papers and this particular paper, called 'Duck egg blue'.

Perfectly matches the SU ink pad, 'Bashful Blue'!

Not a duck's egg in sight! Do I care? 

NO! 'Coz I love Bashful Blue and this card has turned out pretty nice I reckon.

(I will have to re-print the PP colour chart though,methinks)!

Well, as you can see, I haven't really been idle, just a bit cagey 'till I could share them with you.

I hope you enjoy them and before you go, remember I have a little competition going on for a Peachy Keen stamp set..HERE.! 

HAVE A HAPPY SUNDAY!

Peachy Keen Challenge #58

Hello everyone! 

Are you ready for another Peachy Challenge?

Of COURSE you are! lol

No twist this week, just a gorgeous sketch for you to follow.

Isn't it scrummy? 

The possibilities with sketch are endless!

Here's one idea I had. 

(There are loads more that I'll be trying with this great sketch as a guide)!

Front view

Side view

As you can see, it's a 'bag-a-lope'. 

SO easy to make but very effective when turned into a gift/treat bag.

I decided to go with the Halloween theme for this treat bag.

(I would have gone Christmassy, but my new fantastic PK stamps haven't made it across the Pond yet)!

I'm quite tickled with the 'atmospheric' background. 

I used orange CS and a MFT cloud die cut as a template and sponged it with Memento Paris Dusk.

Bag-a-lope instructions HERE.

Stamps used

PK-634 'Frankly...'

PK-630 'Nikkity Knack Cat Gang'

PK-636 'Pumpkin House Accessories' (Greeting).

Here are the guidelines...
