Let's Face it Friday - Flower Power {Challenge 12}

Good Morning Peachy Peeps!

It's Friday which means it's time for another "Let's Face it Friday" challenge!!

Every other Friday, five of our designers put a project together for you following the challenge I put together for them. Here's the fun part - you can play along to win some Peachy Keen Stamps {or other goodies} of your own! The only catch is that you must follow the challenge guidelines which include using a Peachy Keen Face stamp.

No face stamps? That's ok! On the weeks we don't have a "Let's Face it Friday" Challenge, we have our original Tuesday Sketch Challenge {on Tuesdays ;)} with more of our incredible design team. No face stamps are required to participate on those challenges.

Ready to get started? Good, me too!! I'm THRILLED to introduce you to this weeks' guest designer, who has been a regular participant in our LFIF since we started! Saundra Rega of Luv Scrapping Together has a great eye for detail, color, and balance of elements in all her projects. She is "WOW-ing" us this week on our HOME blog with all of her guest design projects! Please go check them out and be sure to check and see how you can win a set of Peachy Keen Stamps from her!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our last challenge. Know a friend who has a Peachy Keen Face stash of her own? Encourage her (or him!) to drop by and play along - our designers always have such wonderful inspiration to share!

The winner from Challenge 11 "Sew Super Cute" is......via Random.org.......

For this challenge, create any project you like, and embellish it with a pretty handmade flower! We've included some links for tutorials to help you get started on this fun (and resourceful) way of embellishing all your crafty projects!

Design must be new
Project must include Peachy Keen Faces

Need some inspiration and a place to get started? Here are two videos showing you how to make your very own handmade flowers! Browse YouTube or your favorite blogs to check out even more ways to create these beauties!!
