Peachy Keen Stamps – Let’s Face it Friday Challenge


Hello Fellow Crafters,

Today I am posting a project I am submitting for the Peachy Keen 'Let's Face it Friday' Challenge. Isn't that a cute title for the Friday challenges? They also have a Tuesday challenge. I thought I would start participating in these each week so it would encourage me to use my adorable Face Stamps from PeachyKeen.


Ok, so here is the project.

 An 'embellished' brown paper bag. Ok, so it is now an adorable Holiday Gift bag. I just love these little face stamps and of course the super cute snowmen from my favorite cricut cart – Doodlecharms – This is a must have cartridge. One of my first acquired and I still use it all the time.

Sorry pictures are a bit dark... gloomy rainy day in Wonderful Washington. :)

Recipe:
Papers – "I Believe" - from My Mind's Eye and white cardstock
Stickles – Crystal Ice, and the blue and green came from a holiday pack with no name on them
Adhesive – Zots dimensionals, ATG
From stash – Ribbon and brown lunch bag


Hope you enjoy. It sure is fun making the Holiday Projects.
Oh click on the Peachy Keen logo on the right to go to their challenge page and play along. There is a lot of great inspiration over there too.

Blogger Hugs,

Denine

    I would like to pass this blog award onto these lovely ladies that inspire me with their awesome projects and wealth of information.
    They may not see me posting comments often but I am in the background stalking there blogs. J


    There is so many more I would love to add and SO much inspiration shared among the crafting world…
    That is one of the things I just LOVE about us crafters…. WE SHARE… it's just part of US.
    Happy crafting to all and Thank you so much Courtney… you make me smile!

    Ok… the projects.

    1. This one is a gift so I will not say too much about it.. but I also wanted to post it on the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #38


      I sure think it turned out cute though.


      This was a lot of fun to make and really stretched my creativity because I usually don't use the 'vintage' colors.

      Project 2 is another gift, for my mom.
      My inspiration for this one came from Courtney's post "Thanksgiving Favor Box". I just loved the concept and thought I would adjust it to make a Book Box with book mark.
      I have finally learn the technique of embossing.. I think!! Hehehe..


      Sorry pick is upside down. :(

    And Project #3 is for PumpkinSpice… aka Prisha… her first Advent Calendar. I saw this idea during a blog hop and cannot remember who originally posted the concept.
    I changed mine a bit to make it a 'double' feature. J
    After Pumpkin takes the daily tag off to get her treat she can use the tag as an ornament for the tree. Super Fun.




    Well I hope you enjoyed my post today.
    My goal for the coming year is to get more projects up on my blog. I so love creating.

    There are some really great blog hops happening during the month of December… please share any you know of with me… I love the hops and all the inspiration shared during them.

    Happy Sunday

    Blogger Hugs,
