Peachy Challenge 36

OHHHH I just LOVE a good challenge. Who doesn't love candles? I do. My mom was one to always have candles in the house and I've kinda done the same. Although I don't always light them (having little ones and candles kinda freaks me out) but I love having them around! They are so soothing dontcha think?!?!

 

So when Dobea told us our challenge this week was to create a 3D project using candles I was so excited! I LOVE home decor type of projects. And this is one that will be around for a while in our house!

 

Without further ado...

Peachy keen Stamps September Sneak Peek

Oops! I'm kinda late. Lemme esplain... the ever amazing blogger just didn't post when it was suppose to. I'm so sorry y'all!!!

 

Peachy LOVE!!!! Hey y'all I am SOOOOO excited to share with you all today this amazingly awesome fun project using the beautiful and super creative new Peachy keen September SOTM! Oh I just love this release. As some of you may know Halloween is my favorite holiday so...yeah I just love this release! here it is...

 

My first Peachy project!

 

 

Okay so there are some do's and donts I've learned while doing this project.

 

1. Do NOT laminate every piece. I thought I was being super genius by laminating it, I thought "oh yes this will keep it nice and clean unobstructed from little finger prints and dark marks. UM NO now it is WAYYY too heavy but it still kind of worked out okay. ;)

 

2. If you are going to use your label maker and then your laminator to make the menu items DO NOT put your laminator higher than 3M. IT WILL BURN YOUR PAPER. lol Although for a Halloween menu board I have to admit I think it looks pretty cool!

 

3. HAVE FUN! I'm very fickle. I change my mind all the time and I cant stand things being the same all the time. So I knew having a different theme for each month would work perfectly in our home. I cant wait to make some more of these.

 

Here are some super fun ideas that I had the pleasure of seeing on Pinterest. They all inspired this creation...

I feel like us crafters are always behind when it comes to making Christmas cards. Okay I shouldn't be speaking for the entire Crafty community I should only speak for myself and I KNOW I am always behind when it comes to big holidays. Ugh every time I go into a craft store I see something else fabulous that I would like to create so when it comes to cards or decorating my home...well I go for the decorating! Yup that's me!

ANYWAYYYYY here is a project I made. I'm going and attempt one Christmas card a week from now until Christmas, wish me luck. ;)

 I just kinda love snowmen! I collect them as a matter of fact. Well kinda. I don't really "collect" anything but I have a pinterest board specifically for snowmen lol. ;)

Now that I'm looking at it I think I should have added some white areas to the hat...oops I forgot. Maybe I'll do an update. But its still pretty cute in a clean and simple way.

Here's a list of What was used:
Cameo- Baking Memories Pattern Set
Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black
Stamps- PK-482 Winter Wonderland Face Assorment, PK-460 Happy Lashes Face Assortment, and PKS-09 Snow Girl

I cannot tell you all how AMAZING this Peachy family is. I will always cherish this time I've been given with them!

With that being said...there is a new challenge this week!

Anything Goes! Who doesn't love that!!! I decided I wanted to go back and play with the gnome releases. They might just be my favorite ever. I don't even know why I don't have an obsession with gnomes or anything I just think they were constructed so creatively! Without further ado...

Here is my project for today!

 I am always saying this, "Bloom where you are planted." It is such a beautiful way to look at life! LOVE IT!!!

lol. I LOVE Peachy Keen Stamps paired with Echo Park paper. Two amazing companies put together to make something fun. LOVE IT!!!

So when I went into my craft room yesterday I really wanted to make something with stitching on it. I've been itching to sew for some time now. I was telling a friend a while back that I cried the other day because I hadn't sewn in so long. lol I'm such a dork like that. Anyway as it turned out I didn't end up sewing on this project at all but I did make another project coming up with some beautiful stitching! ECK.
