THE CHALLENGE

Xs and Os!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and one of the most celebrated "Hallmark" holidays during the year! Let's "one up" Hallmark though ('cause they got nothin' on a handmade card or gift), and create a Peachified valentine using X's & O's somewhere on our projects! X's and O's don't have to be the main focus on your project, but should be the evident theme of your project.

Design must be new
Project must include Peachy Keen Faces

We're all winding down from the holidays, so let's make this challenge quick & simple and above all - USEFUL! Using a Peachy Keen Face stamp, create a thank you card for any occasion. I'm thinking a lot of us have a lot of holiday thank you's to create!
