Merry Christmas

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-47 :: Sketch Challenge

I love to play along with the Peachy Keen Challenges. This week is a sketch challenge and here is my take on it. I decided to make a Christmas card. That penguin and sentiment is from the Peachy Keen July stamp of the month set. I ripped some white card stock and added some glitter to get the snow hill. To finish it I added some Candy Cane Trendy Twine and sequins.

Have a crafty day!!!

Snowmen Globe Cards

Can you tell I love snowmen? I just am in love with the pattern Cute Snowmen by Too Cute By Jessica. These were so fun and simple to put together!! I had to add that extra cuteness by stamping a Peachy Keen face to them all.

Hope you all have a crafty day!

Christmas Treat Box & Card

I wanted to quickly share a couple of projects that I have made for KaDoodle Bug Designs DT. I made a treat box with a tag. I used the KBD pattern Elfing Around Elves which you can find HERE.

My card was really simple to put together. I did a print of Christmas Bear and use my Spellbinders to cut around him and added him to some papers.

Hope you have a crafty day!!
