Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 22 and an announcement!

Hi everyone! We were just blown away by all the amazing entries from our last challenge! It really made the judging very difficult and we had a lot of favorites, but our winner is........(Drumroll Please)......#14 - Heidi Anne! The journaling was so simple, yet heartwarming, along with her photo, which you can't help smiling at. What a doll, for sure! Heidi, we will be emailing your gift certificate today! Thank you to all who played along. We would like to continue to judge the entries for every other challenge. That means this challenge will be a random winner, but Challenge #23 will be judged, and so on. This makes it more fun for those who like to show off what they've got, but also allows people just starting out to play too without feeling intimidated!

Now, onto our next challenge! We decided to take it easy on everyone this week and create a sketch. These are so much fun for me to create, especially when I get to see everyone's interpretations on DT cards and of course, entries from all of you!

Here is the sketch for Challenge #22:

To participate in this challenge, please complete your entry and link the entry to Mr. Linky by February 21st. Please see the column to the right of the posts for complete set of rules. :)

We also have a VERY exciting announcement to make! Sonia Kertznus will be joining us again as a DT member, and we are so thrilled to have her back. Please check out her blog for tons of amazing cards and inspiration!

And now, some eye candy from our fantastic design team (including Sonia's!):

Viv did a wonderful job pairing this gorgeous color palette with PK-402.

Lorie got out her acrylic paints and really made those flowers pop from PK-229!

Just look at the coloring and embellishments! Janice made this too-cute card using PK-210.

Jacqui totally got me in the mood for Easter with her sweet take on this bunny from PK-257.

Nikki created this perfect combination of kraft and color with this fun loving elephant found in PK-222.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 21

What a whirlwind couple of weeks it has been! Kathy and I arrived in California on Sunday for CHA's annual Winter Show. It has been a lot of fun browsing the different displays and seeing all the amazing new products being demoed! Among our favorites yesterday was Staz On's new metallic ink (coming out in March), altered acrylic, and the Craftwell eCraft (no mat, and custom shapes!). Our legs are achy as we prepare to walk the second half of this massive show today.

Now, for the winner of Challenge 20 - pickrandom.com chose 9. Lisa Buttafuoco! Congratulations, Lisa! Please email me your details, and we'll ship your book to you. :)

The next challenge is a little bit different than anything we've done so far, but our designers were up for the challenge! And boy, did they create some beauties! Here's the recipe with a twist for Challenge 21:

• Project can be in any format (with the exception of digital art, hybrid projects are totally ok!)
• Must contain a vintage item or be inspired by something vintage. The vintage item(s) can be a postcard, old love letter (I love those), an old button, an aged photo – whatever peaks your interest!
• Must contain at least one stamped image

The "twist" is that this challenge will be judged! The designers, Kathy, and I will judge the entries based on the following criteria:

• Interpretation
• Quality of Work
• Original creativity in the project

Your project needs be linked into Mr. Linky before February 8, 2010 to be entered to win the prize for this challenge (listed beneath designer's projects). Only one entry per person, please. :)Onto the adorable projects created by our DT!

Viv has created a gorgeous, gorgeous card in a pink and green color scheme using PK-240.


Lorie's frame-worthy recipe card was made using PK-402.


Nikki combined a darling vintage postcard with PK-490 faces on PK-239 Faceless Fruit!


Emma captured the fun look of the 50's with this super cute retro scrapbook page using PK-490!
