Good Luck To You

Good morning and happy Wednesday to ya!  Are you ready for some more card making inspiration?  I've got another card to share which showcases the CAH-UTE St. Patrick's Day Stamp of the Month stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps, and the Peachy Picks Kit.  Boy, have I EVER had a blast playing with these, and you're going to start seeing sneak peeks for next month's kit very, very soon.  I don't know how they do it, but they just keep getting better and better!!  Keep your eyes peeled for all the latest updates on the new release, and the mean time, I'll keep tempting you with all the wonderful things currently available.  Heehee!! 

This card was created with Echo Park's Times and Seasons 6x6 paper pad, wood buttons, and twine, which was all included in the kit, along with a whole lot more for oodles of fun projects later.  The stamp set is the February Stamp of the Month PKSC-02.  What I really love about this little guy is the hair.  I started to put it together, and realized that he seemed to be missing a very important detail, so I started searching through my stash to see what I could come up with for hair.  What I found was some small cording in a peachy color.  I looped it to the back of the hat, and cut the strands, then frazzled them a little bit.  For some added color I gave him some darker tips using my Copic markers, and I LOVE how it turned out.  It just makes me smile, and I can't help it.  Everything was stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  Some Spica glitter pens gave some added sparkle to the buckles of his shoes and hat, as well as the hatband and the straps on the keg.   I made the collar out of some scrap paper from the Echo Park pack, by punching with my scalloped circle punch and hand cutting to fit.  Oh, and I almost forgot the best part!  His head is popped up onto an Action Wobble, so he's got some wiggly action going on as well!  He is just as cute as he can be!!

I'm off to tackle a mountain of laundry and hopefully squeeze in some stampy time in between.  If you don't hear from me within in a couple of days, please send out a search party!!  Thanks so much for dropping by today.  I hope you like what I've shared with you, and I wish you a blessed, bright and beautiful day!  Happy Stamping!!! 

Peachy Picks and Stamp of the Month Scrapbook Page

Good morning, and happy Monday to ya!  Did you have a great weekend?  I certainly hope so, and if you're lucky, you got some happy stamping time in.  Speaking of luck and or lucky, I've been having a ball playing with the new Stamp of the Month stamps and the Peachy Picks Kit from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I do believe that this kit is sold out for this month, but you can still order the terrific stamps I used today.  I'm telling ya that these Peachy Picks are a hot ticket item and there are a limited number of them available, which is why you need to sign up for the club to make sure you get yours every month with no worries.  It's a great deal, and you get so much fun stuff to work with!  I LOVE them, and just wait till you see next month's kit!  It's a dandy!!  Ahhhhhh...  Be still my heart!  ♥♥♥

One of my New Year's resolutions was to TRY and attempt more scrapbook pages.  In attempting to keep myself accountable for that resolution, here's one I came up with.  Let me tell you where I was going with this one.  You see, I know that I have pictures SOMEWHERE of my youngest when he headed off to college for the first time, and I loved the idea of the "Good Luck to you!", "Miss you!", "Love you!" and "Smile!" sentiments for this page, and I thought it was a way to show a great use for these stamps other than St. Patrick's Day.  There are LOTS of occasions when a "Good Luck" card or page would be in order.  The PKSC-02 has a HUGE assortment of stamps included in the set to give you a multitude of choices for cards and creative projects each and every day. 

In addition to the PKSC-02 stamp set, I used PK-255 Happy Flowers and Cheerful Phrases for the sentiments, and PK-298 Size A2 Grampa's Pajamas (This one's a BIGGIE) background stamp, which is the pattern you see behind the shamrocks.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for stamping the images, and they were colored with Copics.  The backgrounds were stamped with Stampin' Up! ink in Not Quite Navy, Old Olive and Baja Breeze, and if you haven 't used Peachy Keen background stamps, you don't know what you're missing, because they stamp so clearly and beautifully, you just wouldn't believe it!!

I think that's all I've got for ya today, but come back tomorrow because I've got a cute Good Luck card made with these stamps to share with you.  Have a blessed and beautiful day, and happy stamping!
