PKS NEWS :: BIG SALE :: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello Peachy Keen friends!

I'm thrilled to share the Top 3 and Top Peach from our 

Anything Goes Challenge

 last week with you today, but

before we get to that, you may have noticed that

there is no challenge listed for today.

There's a very good reason for that.  You see, our 2012

Design Team has officially completed their term,

and we are in the middle of transitioning to our

2013 Design Team.  We are taking a break this week as the new team plans, prepares

and gets settled into their new roles as PKS Designers.

Check in on The Peachy Keen Stamps Blog bright and early tomorrow

morning, because we'll be proudly introducing you to our 

2013 Design Team!!

We have a very talented and enthusiastic team put together, and we can't wait

for you to meet 'em!!

I would also like to remind you that our

BIG SALE

in the Peachy Keen Stamps Store continues through the 31st of December

with awesome tiered discounts in place, .99 cent (US ONLY) shipping, and some amazing prizes, which include a drawing for a $100 Gift Certificate (winner to be drawn from this sale only),

and TOTALLY FABULOUS PRIZE PACKAGE!

(winner drawn from ALL orders from December)

Don't let these great deals or your chance for one of these prizes pass you by!

ORDER TODAY!

I think I've made you wait long enough, so now let's get on with our

Top 3 and Top Peach from last week's challenge!

PKS Challenge 47 :: Happy Birthday Kathy Sketch

Hello peachy peeps!

We've got somethin' SUPER SPECIAL to celebrate

this week, and we thought what better way to

enjoy the fun than extend an invitation to the celebration

to our Peachy Keen Friends!

Our Peachy Queen, Kathy

(as we lovingly refer to her)

will be celebrating her birthday this weekend

and we wanted to give EVERYONE a chance to send her some 

happy birthday wishes!!

Kathy is the one who's brilliant imagination

brings us all of the wonderful, whimsical images that we've all come to know and 

love, and this is just a small way that we can celebrate her and say THANKS

for all that she does.  Kathy is one of the hardest working people I have ever known.  She works countless hours and through many sleepless nights to bring us wonderful peachy goodness every month, and this is OUR chance to give back by making her birthday as special as she is!

SO, here's what's happening...

Peachy Keen Challenge 47 :: Sketch Challenge :: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KATHY!

Guidelines:

• Design must be new, created specifically for this challenge
• Must be a card or layout that follows the sketch provided
• Link up by 12/19 - 11:59 pm EDT
• Remember, you don't have to use our stamps to link up, but they are required to earn TOP PEACH!  

We're turning this challenge into a Happy Birthday Kathy

LINKY PARTY!

This is DoBea's sketch to follow

Simply add a birthday message for Kathy, and link up as usual.

We're starting Kathy's party a few days early, and we'll continue the party a few days

past her actual birthday.  That way she has LOTS of time to enjoy each and every wonderful creation!!  Let's see what our designers have created to get this party started!
