Peachy Tuesday & a Peachy Challenge! ~ Episode 310

HAPPY TUESDAY & welcome to another Peachy Tuesday! For today's project, I am entering my project into the Peachy Keen Challenge! Yep, the talented Miss Raven thought it would be nice to have a "Toilet Paper" roll challenge! Okay, out of ALL days, we had NO empty TP rolls in our house! LOL..... So, I had to take a new roll & just rip it out! hahahaha!

I have to say that I was stumped on this one! But, I managed to pull it together at the last minute! Luckily I had some CUTE short version of popsicle sticks on hand! I trimmed down my roll just a little. I used the Market Street Stamp background "Woodgrain"! I LOVE this background stamp sooo much & I thought how perfect "wood" it be to stamp on my popsicle sticks w/it!;)  TaDa.......it came out perfect!  I then took my "Scallop & Stitch Circle" die set & attached them to my See's Candy lollipops! The BEAUTIFUL faces are from "Peachy Keen's" January Stamp of the month! Next I added the CUTE leaves using my "Teeny Tag Greetings"!

You can go HERE for ALL the details about this challenge!

Friday Tip of the Day w/Miss Debbie

Good Morning Everyone!!! Debbie here from Bugjuiced with Debbie. 

I am super excited to be guest designing for Miss Emma. It is truly an honor to be asked! She is such a sweetie and I love her products. Today I wanted to show a way to utilize her MCT "Oval Stitch Die" in a different way! I made a shadowbox card and used the die to make a cute little flower! 

For this card I used My Minds Eye "Lime Twist" 6x6 paper stack. Super cute papers in this stack with lots of colors! I used a special little polka dot piece just for Emma since she loves "Polkie dots"! 

I cut 8 of the ovals to make the pedals. I inked them up because I am an ink junkie! I cut 2 more out of Kraft paper for the leaves and inked them real good with powder puff ink "green with envy". I just scribbled some veins on it with a sharpie.

 I randomly placed the pieces using adhesive for each in the center. I had a cute little Pink button (which you don't see much) for the center. I used Emma's circle die from the MCT "Build a banner kit" because it was the perfect size for the peachy keen face and for the button. I crimped just with my fingers each petal and bent them up to add dimension. I love how it turned out. I used the sentiment from MCT "You had me at Chocolate" which I love these sentiments! The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/4" 

Favorite Stamp of the Month! ~ "I Believe in Leprechauns"!

Hello ~ my name is Kim Harris. Emma has so graciously asked me to guest design for her today! I am so honored and beyond thrilled! Just to tell you about myself. I have been married for 15 plus years to a very supportive and kind hearted man. He is my world.  We have a 6 ½ year old little boy who is our EVERYTHING! I am a stay at home Mom/ Wife who has many roles, duties and paper crafting is something I do for fun!

My journey began many years ago when I went to a home party. I purchased a great deal of items and never touched them! My sweet sister-in-law introduced me to dies and eventually the Circut, where my love for paper began! So in 2010, with encouragement and help from my sister-in-law, I started my blog. I originally started this journey to do a scrapbook for my Dad and then my son but somehow, someway cards have become my passion! I think that they are easier and faster to create. My goal this year is to do at least 2 scrapbook pages a month for my son’s book. Wish me luck! I am so inspired by so many of you talented ladies out there ~ you all just astonish me with your creativity! Thank You for all the inspiration!

Hello Fellow crafters. Emma over at My Creative Time has asked me to guest design for her! I am over the moon with excitement! This month is the stamp set ~ "I believe in Leprechaun's"!

For my first card I wanted to try something I have never tried before ~ a spinner card! I know my son is going to love it because it moves! Sorry about the shadows but the wind was so crazy here, there was no way to take a picture outside! Oh the camera wanted to focus on the glitter ~ need photography classes bad!
