A card from the very first Peachy Keen Stamp Club!

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 die that had been nestling all forgotten in my cupboard!

(Along with about 12 other red ones)!

So I cut out the heart from the DP on the bottom and as it was a double heart, I used the cut-out on the top!

The sentiment is cut with a Nesty label die and sponged with Memento Ladybug ink.

Her wings and the little heart on the sentiment are covered in gold Glamour dust.

I must admit, I'm not a Valentine's card type person, but this new kit that Kathy has conjoured up, has made me change my mind.

See you soon with another project!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all you lovely people who honour me with your visits and comments.

This is my first post since my last challenge card as a Peachy Keen Designer.

(I'm now an Alumni along with most of the other DT sisters)! Cool!

OK, onto two cards I made. This one is for my youngest son's 3rd wedding anniversary 

(which was on the 2nd Jan).

This was made with a Sizzix embossing folder, red card and a stamp set by 

Michelle Marsden. (Bought at one of the numerous crafts shop I stalk).

and this for a dear friend's birthday, (which is today the 4th)....

 The image, coloured with Copics, is a Lili of the Valley stamp.

The DP is from a pad by DCWV, called 'Tradewinds'.

Most of the papers, (more like card), are gold embossed. Beautiful!

The paper top left is gold embossed, but you can't see it in this photo.

I hope 2012 brings you Health, Wealth and Happiness!

It's time to say goodbye......with my last Peachy Keen Challenge

Yep, this is my last Peachy Challenge and all I can say is.............................

 THANKS FOR THE RIDE Peachy Keen!!!

It's time now though, for new ideas and new team members.

I've had THE most wonderful nearly 3 years with Peachy Keen and loved every minute.

Made some of the best friends a girl could wish for and managed to fly out to Wisconsin on the trip of a lifetime to meet my heroine, Kathy, founder of PK and all round fabulous person!

I do hope you will consider entering the race to be on the next PK DT.

Details are over on the right hand side over there! lol (Just click the icon).

GOOD LUCK!!

Now, for Peachy Keen Challenge #67,

 Our last challenge is 'designer's Choice' and to play along you must use only PEACHY KEEN stamps please.

(Entries to be in by 11.59pm CDT on 27th Dec).

I decided to revisit one of my favourite projects for my swan song....

I've got a BIG problem with my PC at the moment. My internet has stopped working, so I'm trying desperately to upload my project via hubbies laptop. As that is in the kitchen and my details upstairs, I'll have to fill in the blanks about stamps used a little later. Sorry.

This is the LAST thing I needed right now. Grrr.

OK, here is my little Topnote bag with 6 3x3 cards inside.

I couldn't get a decent picture as the light is rubbish here at the moment, so used my kitchen table.

Tried again to get a closer shot, so hope these will do. EVERYTHING is playing up at the moment.

(I think it's sulking 'coz I'm leaving Peachy Keen)! lol

Well. there you have it. I WILL be back next year for the PK alumni quarterly challenges and hops, so you haven't seen the last of me!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

for all your wonderful support and comments during my time with Peachy Keen.

Have a fabulous Christmas!!

More from me

For the Peachy Keen DT call, go HERE.

I can't quite believe that my wonderful time at Peachy Keen will end at the end of December!

Where HAVE those years gone! *Sigh*

I envy whoever follows as I know they will have a BALL with THE most wonderful people on the planet.

OK, that's enough from me before I get too maudlin! lol

Here are a few more cards I've cranked out while my toe tries to heal.

No need for explanations as they are all pretty self-explanatory.

Except to say that the 'Merry Christmas ' squares are digital images from Cuddly Buddly.

I hope the gale force winds and driving rain has passed you by.

I personally love it, but then I'm strange! lol

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Poinsettias rock!

I CASED THIS fabulous one by Carla!!

Mine is a lot more simple, (a bit like me really) lol

And so is THIS one....The same only different...again! lol
(BTW, I turned the Marianne die round).

Please excuse the rubbish photo, I think my camera is having a nervous breakdown!

My broken toe is still very sore, but Hey! that gives me more opportunty to play in my craft room.

I was told at A&E not to weight bear and use the crutches they gave me!!

Yeah right! NOT happening.

Hubby is disabled and there's two dogs in da house. I just limp!

Don't forget the PEACHY KEEN DT CALL!!

You can get all the details HERE!

(I have LOVED every minute of my time on the DT and if chosen, you will too)!!

Happy Saturday!!

Peachy Keen Design Team Call!!!

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.

I LOVE YOU PEACHY KEEN!!!

The same only different

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 the trunk and progressively shortened the tree.

I like my little snowy forest. What do YOU think?

The Peachy Keen Challenge can be found HERE!

Have a great weekend!!
