Let's Face it Friday - So Punny!

Hello Everyone! What a week! If you've been following the CHA Chicago updates and buzz on many crafty blogs around the 'net, you know this summer's show was amazing! While I can't put my finger on just what made it more spectacular than last summer's show, I can tell you the creative energy was everywhere. Companies really put their heart and soul into this summer's displays and had engaging make and takes that really helped you grasp each product. We had a blast visiting! For more info on what made CHA's Top 20 Hottest New Products, be sure to visit their BLOG.

Yeah! We adored everyone's patterned creations!

You guys did a fantastic job!

I am SOOOOO excited to welcome another inspirational crafter as our Guest Designer this week. Lauren from Lauren's Creative was a guest designer last year and I couldn't be happier to have her and her creative mind back again! Lauren finds the cutest cuts to go with her layout themes (and she's a layout queen, let me tell you!) and the sweetest sentiments to go on her cards. Not to mention she is one of the sweetest people I've ever "met"! Let's see what her and the rest of our talented DT have for you today!

Yep, a place to find inspiration, make new friends, and get tons of Peachy tips! Here's a bit of info from one of our member newsletters:

Because of the holiday earlier this week, we will not have a guest designer, but we DO have a fabulous challenge that utilizes the most common denominator in any paper princess's stash - PATTERNS.

-----------------------------

THE CHALLENGE

-----------------------------

Patterns can pack a huge punch, even when used in subtle ways. This week, we want you to pull out your favorite patterned products {whether it's paper, creating your own pattern, or repeating elements} and pair them with your PK Faces for a project of your choice!
