Peachy Keen August Sneak Peeks

Hello friends!  Hope you are all well and enjoying your summer!  It is day 2 of the August sneak peeks.  If you missed day 1 you may click here.  This is another awesome release and one that I am sure you will want in your collection.  Here is an easel card that I made with the new stamps.

I had so much FUN creating this scene.  Angelica recently got a new puppy and they call her Chelsea, so I named my paper puppy Chelsea too and colored her like a golden retriever.  She is one happy puppy because she received a large pile of bones for a gift.

There will be 2 more nights of sneaks and then the big release party on Monday August 5th at 6pm central, 7pm Eastern at the Peachy Keen Connection.  It's always fun playing a little trivia, chatting it up with friends, and playing along with the challenges.  All that fun with a chance to win prizes!  Hope to see you there!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

PKC-13-31 Anything Goes

Hello friends!  Time for a new challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps.  This weeks challenge is PKC-13-31 Anything Goes.  I chose to make some Christmas decor.  I love PK-350 Colby and Jack Cheese set.  They are the cutest mice, don't you think?

I also used PK-020 Snow Flakey, PK-231 Snowflakes for the tree, and PK-156 Lucy's ABC's and 123's Solids, for the JOY banner.  The images were colored with copics and the sparkly snow is Liquid Pearls, white opal and Martha Stewarts crystal coarse glitter.  The presents were stamped from a retired set, but PK-148 Snow Gifts has some present stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you will check out what the other designers have made and we would love to see what you create with your Peachy Keen Stamps.

Please come back later tonight for Day 2 of our August stamp release.

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Make it Crafty Tea Party

Welcome to the very special Make it Crafty Tea Party!

Today, I'm joining the fun with a collection of Make it Crafty fans from around the world,
serving you a delicious array of crafty delights to celebrate not only the magical release of ‘Alice in Wonderland’
but also Make it Crafty’s THIRD Birthday!!

What better way to celebrate than a tea party full of Make it Crafty fans?

As you chase the white rabbit down holes, through small doors, around corners and more…
keep your eye out for hidden letters, collecting them along the way.
Simply decipher the ‘question’ and then enter the answer at the end of the hop for a chance to win the grand prize!

It wouldn’t be a fun tea party without hidden prizes along the way,
so make sure you comment as you chase the rabbit for a chance to win more prizes!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully you’ve found your way through the door from Gloria's blog,
but if you’ve just fallen down the hole then you might want to start back at Make it Crafty with Zoe.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The guests were given the option to play with 6 images from the new collection and I chose to get creative with Curious Alice.  I made a scene by adding some whimsical elements and coloring it with Copics.

My second image was White Rabbit.  I also added whimsical elements and colored the image with Copics.

The fun doesn’t stop here and if you head through this door you’ll find your way to Martina's blog.  But before you leave don't forget about your letter.

Thanks so much for hopping and have FUN!!  Good luck!!  Just in case you can't see my letter, it is the letter h.

Make it Crafty Challenge - Dew Drops

Hi everyone!  Here is an image I colored with Copics for a Make it Crafty challenge.  The challenge was to color dew drops.  You could choose which level of difficulty you wanted to use.  I chose hard.  There is a tutorial if you would like to see it, here.

I like to try challenges that push me to try something new.  I was a couple days late but wanted to share it anyway. Do you feel inspired to push yourself?
Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Candyland Christmas in July

Hi everyone!  Today I have a SWEET card to share with you.  I used PK-1329 Sweet Home from the newest Christmas in July stamp release.  I used bright fun colors to color the house.  I was going for a storybook, candyland type of look.

After coloring the house with copics I cut the image out.  I used an exacto knife to cut the windows and door so that it could open.  I cut some images from a 6x6 paper pad called Countdown to Christmas by Melissa Frances, and placed them behind the windows and the door.  Santa is putting presents under the Christmas tree, behind the door.

To finish my scene I cut Christmas trees from some patterned paper, punched the snowman and snowflakes, punched the orange "tree skirts" and cut the orange path.  The snowy rooftop was made with some puffy paint and glitter.

By combining stamped images with pre-printed images you can create some fun scenes.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Don't forget to check out the Peachy Keen Store for some great bargains.  A new sale starts every Tuesday for the entire month of July!  Get your shop on!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice
