Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 36 :: Color Combo and Sketch

Nothing like a Tuesday feeling like a Monday, right? I hope all our state-side friends had a great Labor Day weekend!
Since we announced our winner from Challenge 35 last week, this week, we can get
RIGHT TO IT.

We have a NEW challenge for you today!
You'll want to make a card, scrapbook layout, or any project in which you can follow a sketch with the color combo provided and sketch provided.

Please link your project to Mr. Linky no later than Sunday, September 19th.
{I have adjusted the deadline so that our Pacific time zone friends can play along with us up until midnight PST! That means East Coast, you get to play until 3 a.m. - perfect if you are a night owl! :) }

We will then choose ONE random winner on Tuesday, September 21st in the post with the new challenge!
{The yummy prize is listed below our DT's photos}

If your crafty mind is craving more Peachy Keen before our next Tuesday Challenge, check back on Friday, September 17th for our first "Let's Face It Friday" Challenge!

HERE IS THE SKETCH & COLOR PALETTE:

AND now - the best part - our amazing DT's inspiration:

Viv flipped the sketch to create an adorable scene with Lil' Viv walking her toy turtle.

Even with the colors provided, Lorie manages to capture the essence of "Bewitched" perfectly.

Gobble Gobble! Janice is getting into the Fall spirit with her Happy Turkey Day card!

Nikki's little Halloween Sweet Folk characters look like they're having a blast!

It's getting a little SPOOKY in here with Emma's super cute Halloween Minis card.

Aw, it looks like it is a happy Fall indeed, for this little guy! Heidi used our Critter faces to give him this chipper expression.

I think all of our jaws dropped when we saw Samantha's Duck rock band! You almost have to go back more than twice to catch all the adorable details nestled inside!!

What a fun layout for baby's first tubbies! Lisa created these ducks using our Everyday face parts.

Let's Face It Fridays - Announcement

Happy Friday Peachy Keen Friends!

::We have an EXCITING announcement for you!::


Starting Friday, September 17th, we will have a challenge called
"Let's Face It Fridays"

EVERY OTHER FRIDAY right here! On this blog!

Do you LOVE stamping with our faces?

We know you got 'em...now show us what you can DO with them!

We are giving away GREAT prizes that compliment
YOUR
crafting style.

Cricut Cartridges? Yup. Thin metal dies? Uh huh. Punches? You got it. Stamps? YES!!

{So here's how it works}
Every other Friday, check back here to GET INSPIRED.

We have a FABULOUS DT that will be dedicated to giving you FACE time!
{check 'em out below}
They'll be bringing you projects showcasing our face stamps with a new theme for each challenge. And they will be challenges!

If you are looking for fresh ideas on how to use the face stamps you've got...
this is where you're gonna want to be!

Enter your project in Mr. Linky by the deadline (two weeks to enter!) and we will pick the winner.

We'll continue our challenges with our original DT every other Tuesday as we do now! We love all of our designers and they'll continue to bring you amazing things with their Peachy Keen Stamps! On the weeks our Tuesday DT is off, our Friday Faces DT will be on. So now, you can get in on some Peachy goodness every week!

Just to clarify, for our Tuesday challenges, you do not need a Peachy Keen Stamp to enter. For our "Let's Face It Friday" challenges, you will need to use your Peachy Keen Faces somewhere on your project!

Ok! Now we got all the business out of the way, please let me introduce our
Fab Five - "just faces" DT!


Kim - www.paperpunchaddiction.com
Kim joined us on our last challenge as a guest DT and it was just awesome to see all the designs she came up with leading up to the challenge, for the challenge, then FOLLOWING the challenge, still! I love that she uses punches to create her own unique style. Her tutorials are totally inspiring.





Heidi - www.gotscraps.blogspot.com
You probably recognize Heidi as she is on our current DT! We just
love her positive, upbeat, and always cheerful personality. Heidi does amazing things with her Create-a-Critter cartridge (and MORE!) and our critter faces. We are so happy she'll be joining us on this new section of our DT Family!





Erin - www.erinleecreative.com
Erin's style is PURE IMPACT! It's no surprise she is a graphic designer by day, her work absolutely shows stunning color choices, and perfect element placement. I love seeing what she's done with our stamps already!







Joanna - www.scrap-making.blogspot.com
Joanna has a beautiful blog where she showcases creations she makes with her Cricut and her Gypsy. When I first started seeing her entries in our challenges, I was completely blown away! I love the whimsical spirit she always seems to capture in her creations.







Ruthie - www.septemberninth.blogspot.com
Ruthie's projects always feature the most GORGEOUS paper, and the magic of her work lies in the details. Each card always has a lovely coordinating inside (I am so guilty of just throwing a cut of cardstock inside and calling it a day - ha!) and perfect matching ribbons and ink! I know our faces would be amazing on anything she creates!


We can't wait to showcase all our new members' creations! Check back here next Friday for a little Q&A with our new DT, and mark your calendars for 9/17 - our very 1st "Let's Face It Friday"!!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!!
~ Angelica :)
