Peachy Keen Challenge 43 :: Anything Goes

GOOD MORNING!

Boy has it ever been a busy, but fun filled week at Peachy Keen Stamps!

We've got just a few things to remind you about before we get on with our challenge this week.

First -  our Release Week Festivities continue with our WEEK LONG SALE.

Here's the 411 on this wonderful sale:

*This SALE and our Thanksgiving Weekend Sale will take the place of both of the Finally Friday Sales for this month!

• 99 Cent Shipping USA (No minimum purchase required)
• 17% off ALL stamps & Supplies (No minimum purchase required.)  Please note that there are exceptions that do apply.  You can find those listed on the PKS Home Page.  You might ask how we decided on 17% off for our sale?  Well, it's Kathy and Dave's daughter, Alissa's 17th birthday on the 8th.  That sounds like a good way to celebrate, doesn't it?  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Alissa!!
• A FREE STAMP SET - This is not our average little mini stamp give away!  This is a set of TEN STAMPS on a 4"x4" mylar sheet made to go with this release.  There is a minimum purchase required of $30.00 after discounts to get this free set.  Please note only ONE FREE STAMP SET per household, per day of the sale.

Second - We still have challenges to play along with on The Peachy Keen Connection.  Stop by there and find quick links on the main page to all the fun!  Prizes, Prizes, Prizes!

Third - We've got our Thankful Blog Hop going on right now and there's a chance for yes... you guessed it... MORE PRIZES.  All ya gotta do is hop along and leave comments for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates!  

Now, that you know all about what's going on, let's get on with our weekly challenge!

It was so exciting to see how each of you interpreted last week's sketch.

There were truly some creative things happening and it's always amazing to see what you guys come up with based on the same sketch!

This week, we're keeping things easy. 

All you need for this one is some Peachy Keen Stamps and ANYTHING GOES!

This week's challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!

Just use your PEACHY KEEN STAMPS and link up!

We'll be awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and  they, along with our three runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

Guidelines:

• Design must be new
• Link up by 11/14 - 11:59 pm EST
• For this particular challenge, you must use Peachy Keen Stamps to link up. (For other challenges, you don't need our stamps to play along, this only applies to the "Anything Goes" Challenge)

Sorry, any entry that does not meet the guidelines for this challenge (does not use Peachy Keen Stamps) will be automatically removed without notice.

I always look forward to seeing what our designers create each week to inspire you!

I'm sure that's something you look forward to as well.  If you love what they do, head over to their blogs and leave 'em a little love.   They love hearing from YOU!
