MCT Made In Minutes ~ I love you!

Good morning paper lovin' friends, I hope you had a beautiful weekend!  It was another sunny one in California.  I love the sun, however we REALLY need the rain...which isn't expected anytime soon. :/

Today is Made In Minutes over at My Creative Time.  I love this segment, since I always get ideas for cards that can be made in minutes or easily mass produced!  Quick and easy are always a good thing in my book!

PKS September Blog Hop!

The excitement has been building for the past two days and now the time has FINALLY arrived!

WELCOME to the September Release and Reveal Blog Hop at Peachy Keen Stamps!

This All Occasion release brings wonderful images for projects centered around a birthday theme, as well as some great stamps that pair up perfectly with stamps that have been released previously this year. I can see the Birch Background stamp used with our camping themed release, a rustic Christmas project, Halloween, masculine “guy” cards and so, so much more! Smile Eagle goes amazingly well with the Birch Background, too, and can’t us just see that little fella used for some AWESOME patriotic projects? There’s the Haunted A2 Background, which comes just in time to make some quick and easy Halloween projects, OR pair it up with last month’s release or ANY of our Halloween themed stamps for more versatility. The PKSC-33 Stamp of the Month, Ballerina Bear, and the Sentiments for the September 2014 Release are fabulous “go to” sets for any age! And last but certainly not least are the Variety Face Assortments. It wouldn’t be a PKS release without faces, and these are some of the cutest and most versatile yet! Turn a simple project into something SUPER SPECTACULAR just by adding an adorable Peachy Keen Face! These are must haves, for sure!!

Gotta love a wobble...and one more project for you!

PKS September Sneak Peeks Day 2 ~ Smile!

Welcome back creative friends to Peachy Keen Stamps September 2014 Release Day 2!

...

How about that first day of sneak peeks? Pretty amazing, right? Well we have more!!

Tonight our talented team members are sharing some outstanding creations using four new stamp sets that were originally designed and created to go with various other stamp sets or themes that have been previously released. Each month as Kathy begins her creative process, she takes sketches and ideas from a specific theme and runs with it. There's no way she could possibly include each and EVERY sketch or idea in every release, but some of them are just too darned cute NOT to make the cut at some point. This is where this release comes in. This evening you will see creations using the Haunted A2 Background, Birch Frame Background, Ballet Bears, and Smile Eagle.

The peachy team has managed to blow us away once again with their amazing work!

How can you not smile when this silly eagle is on an Action Wobble!

PKS September Sneak Peek Day 1 ~ make a wish!

Hello and WELCOME!

It's Peachy Keen Stamps sneaky peeky time once again and we are so excited to have you join us tonight and tomorrow night for some crafty fun that will feature images for many special occasions!

Do you ever find yourself beginning to create a birthday card or project and just wish you had a simple "go to" stamp set that you could make great use of? One for any age, boy, girl, man, woman, friends, etc...? I think all of us have found ourselves in that place. In need of a set that we can quickly and easily create something fabulous with, or use those same images to add wonderful details to a more complex creation. Well, look no further, because that's just what we have for you!

Here's a little bit about where inspiration for this month's Stamp of the Month came from in Kathy's words...

Last month, I personally had several milestone birthdays to send cards out for. I found myself wishing I had a simple yet versatile birthday stamp set! I think if I would have had these stamps around I TOTALLY would have used them.

Happy and Healthy Hugs to All!

:)Kathy Jakopovich

Now on to my project...

MCT August Release Sneak Peek Day 4 ~ Tag You're It!

Welcome to Day 4 of My Creative Time's August Release!  Well, you only have to wait one more day to order and get any and all of these wonderful stamps and dies you've been drooling over this week!

For my projects today I used Tag Die Layers, you might be thinking these are a bit incomplete, and you're half right :)

Just like having cards on hand for any given reason, I like to have tags to hang on bags ready to go.  That's why I didn't add the ribbons through the holes.

You also might be trying to figure out what is the new item here.  Remember earlier in the week I told you that this release was about adding on to what you already have?  So if you already have the tag dies, now you can get a smaller tag the will create a layer.  However it's not just the tag layers...there are other goodies like the "congrats" die and the "chevron" die!

Just wait until you see ALL the pieces that come with these wonderful tags!
