Yum, yum, YUMMY!

I just love these Gingers!! Can't get enough of them. Here is a card I made for a sample at my LSS. They just started carrying Peachy Keen Stamps, which I am thrilled about. If you live in Massachusetts, the store I am talking about is "Ink About It". It is a great store, with the friendliest staff, and they have lots of fun classes and guest artists from around the world. If there is a stamp you are looking for, they will order it for you if it is a line they carry. Fun, fun place!!

For my card I used PK-408 Gingerbread Doll Set. It has many accessories to create your Gingers just the way you like. I used lots of yummy gumdrops, colored with copics, and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter, SU, to really make them sparkle. Hope you like them as much as I do. Thanks for visiting!

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Holiday Cards

Hello friends! Here are some things I have been working on. The Thanksgiving card was made with the die Autumn Centerpiece. I love this die and plan on using the candles for a Christmas Centerpiece card. The moose was made with a Cottage Impressions stamp, Moose with lights. I colored him with Copics and added various stickles for the lights. The Christmas tree was cut from green foil cardstock with the Elegant Christmas Tree die. The penguin was cut with white cardstock and colored with copic markers. I color the pieces before assembling, my personal preference. The die is Penguin with skis. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was really nice and the food was delicious! Thanks for stopping by!Hugs and smiles!Janice

Peachy Keen Challenge 41

Hello Friends! Time for another Peachy Keen Challenge. Thank you to all of you talented artists who participate in our challenges! You are all such an inspiration and we appreciate each and every one of you for being such wonderful, loyal fans of Peachy Keen Stamps!! The theme for this weeks challenge is ENCOURAGEMENT! Some of us could certainly use a good dose of encouragement, in good times and in trying times. Angelica always comes up with such amazing challenges, and this is no exception.

I recently purchased some background stamps from Market Street Stamps that Angelica designed. I was having a lot of fun playing with the background stamp called Here Comes The Sun. I love sunsets and sunrises and moonlight so I knew this stamp was a must have. I inked up the stamp with 3 shades of pigment ink and then heat embossed clear embossing powder over the image. I used a sentiment stamp from the very special stamp set, near and dear to our hearts, called Our 2 Angels in Heaven, in honor of Lisa's 2 precious angels who lost their young lives in a horrific car accident. Lisa is an amazing person who is a constant inspiration to all of us who know and love her! Kathy, Peachy Queen Extraordinaire, lovingly crafted this stamp set to honor those precious angels and very generously has offered to donate the proceeds of the sale of this set to be given to the charity of Lisa's choice. Kathy and Dave and their children are such beautiful examples of what is good in this life. I am so blessed to have them in my life, even though we haven't actually met in person. We will, someday! I guess I am feeling THANKFUL for the blessings of family and friends because Thanksgiving is just 2 days away. I hope you all have a wonderful, Happy Thanksgiving!

Back to my card. After trying warm and cool shades for the background stamp, I decided to use the cool blues for this card. Blue feels more calming and encouraging, so that is why I chose that color scheme. I stamped, I believe in.... in the suns rays, and popped the YOU in the center of the sun. The card looks better in real life. I am happy with the way it turned out. I hope you like it too! As always, thanks so much for stopping by. I encourage you to visit the rest of the design team blogs. I am always amazed by their talent.

Hugs and smiles, Janice

Something to Crow About II

Good morning friends! Sorry I am posting a little late this morning. My computer was misbehaving! Todays card features some of the new Cottage Impressions stamps. I usedCountry Crows, which is a set of 2 stamps, and Pumpkin Patch, which is a single stamp. The stamps are cling mount, red rubber. This is my first time using Cottage Impressions stamps and I really like them. I love to color, so these were right up my alley. I will be showcasing more of the impressions stamps next week, so I hope you'll come back again. As a matter of fact, I hope you'll visit us everyday to get inspiration from all the talented designers of The Scrapping Cottage. Have a great day!
Hugs and smiles, Janice

Fall Inspiration

Peachy Keen Challenge 40

Good morning Peachy Keen fans. Time for another challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. I chose to use the adorable "iflantastico" stamp from Market Street Stamps BFF set. Angelica is the artist of this FANTASTIC set as well as several other sets, with more to come.

( I can't wait!) They are made by Peachy Keen Stamps, which, in my opinion, has the best photopolymer for making the highest quality clear stamps on the market today!

This was so much fun to color! I added clear glaze to the sauce of the flan, though it is hard to see in the photo. The fork and spoon were cut from some Graphic 45 paper that I had. The patterned paper is from SU. Don't forget to check out the details for this challenge, as well as the fabulous designs by my other Peachy Keen Sisters! They never disappoint!

I enjoyed the entries from the last challenge and look forward to seeing your new projects! As always, thanks for visiting and happy crafting!

Hugs and smiles,

Janice
