#16 Peachy Keen Stamp Photo Challenge Layout

Hi everyone! I made this layout of my hubby and I using 2 different Peachy Keen Stamp Sets from the January 2013 release along with my CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge. I used Artiste for the circles, doily shape, roses, and also the daisies.  I also inked up the edges using Close To My Heart Chocolate Stamp Pad. The Peachies I used for my layout are PK-159 Thinking Of You Bear and PK-160 Thank You-Big stamp sets.

Here's the two cute Peachy Keen Stamps I used! I am so proud of myself for using a stamp set for a title that was very fun! I also layered the bear's arms, legs and the heart on 3d pop dots for some dimension and added Stickles. The border punch is Fiskars.

Flowers made from Artiste Cricut cart  both can be found on page 54.

#12 Project Life Week 2

Good morning everyone! This is Sandra from 365 Days of Cricut and today is my day to post on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog .  For my project I thought I'd use up my Peachy Keen Stamps in a totally different way by...... making my Week 2 Project Life pages! I was able to use 9 different Peachy Keen Stamps YES 9! So Awesome!!!

Here is both of my pages when you first open it up.  I cut a 6x12 insert down to 8x6 to fit my Jamba Juice Menu and movie ticket stubs. The font I used is from the Something To Celebrate Cricut cart. I also printed out the movie poster from The Hobbit movie.
This is the same page but with the middle Jamba Juice page turned.

Here's a close up of my son Aidan enjoying is smoothie from our favorite place Jamba Juice! I used 3 different PKS sentiments here... "Love You!!", "You look delicious" and "Feelin' Fruity?" and I also used 4 different faces from the Piles Of Smiles Faces. I cut all of the fruit from the Preserves Cricut Cartridge which goes perfectly with the new release stamps that I used in my project!

Here's another PKS sentiment I used "Miss you...." I took a picture of my hubby at the airport checking in for deployment while he wasn't looking, I also got a copy of his itinerary and wrote a message underneath it.

The last PKS sentiment I used was "cute!" which I stamped 3 times in a row because this picture of my kids and dog is just cute, cute, cute!!! Love them!

Watch my YoutTube video below of my project!

Here's a list of the Peachy Keen Stamps I used to create my Project Life Pages:

I hope I inspired you to use your Peachy Keen Stamps in a different way thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
