MCT Sneak Peek, Day 2

If you're looking for my Peachy Keen Guest Post, click HERE or scroll to the next post. Thanks!

*** SNEAK PEEK GIVEAWAY TIME ***
With all of our Sneak Peek weeks, Emma likes to do some FUN giveaways.
 This time we are doing something a little bit different. All you have to do is leave comments on our blogs. You do not have to comment on every blog, but the more you do, the more chances you'll have to win. The only difference this time, is that winners will be announced each morning, rather than all at the end of the week. For example, for Monday's sneak, the winner will be announced on Tuesday morning; Tuesday's sneak winner announced Wednesday morning, and so on. 

SPREAD THE WORD TO THE WORLD
on facebook and whatever other social media you may use, about this release, 
and let us know on the My Creative Time FB page or tag Emma in your post.

 GOOD LUCK!
 Log onto to your facebook now and start spreading the word.


Ok, let's get to my project for today's sneak peek. Another knock-your-socks-off release you guys. If you missed yesterday's sneak peeks, you simply MUST go check them out here so you can start making your wish list. Although, if I were you, I'd just plan on ordering the whole release, cuz, well, you're gonna want it all anyway, you know you are! ;) Yeah, yeah, I say that every time, but have I steered you wrong yet!? -- ppfftt. I rest my case. LOL

Here's my yummy delicious tag which I totally love. As my brother would say when he was little, "if you love it so much, why don't you marry it." {snicker} The tag itself is a previous MCT release. Can you see the new products I used??? The ticket dies are to die for!! And there is also a whole set of coordinating stamps. LOVE!


Here are the tickets with one of the stamp messages, "SWEET". Cute cute cute! You'll see I also used Emma's famous rolled flower die.

 Here is a teensy peek at the new button die. Adorbs!

The paper I used already had this super neato blank tag area for me to stamp on. The sentiment, Friends, and keys are also from this release. Didn't I tell you?? WANT, dontcha!

There you go. Sneak peek day 2. Just as fab as sneak peek day 1, am I right or am I right?! Just wait till you see what we have tomorrow! ;)

Peachy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! It's another Peachy day for me, how about you?! I'm loving the Valentine themed Peachy Keen release and have used it along with the the adorable jumping rope girl, one of my favorites, for today's first project. The sentiment is also from the January release. There is so much to choose from in this set!!


I've replaced her jump rope with heart balloons and used embroidery floss for her pigtails. Isn't she super sweet.

And, again, a wobble. I don't know what came over me, but suddenly everything seems so much more fun on a wobble. She's sure a cutie patootie when she wobbles. LOL


For my second project I used the adorable stinky skunk stamp from the Cheer Up set along with the January release set. The bow is from that set, and so cute with stickles added. I paper pieced her and used clear embossing powder for the lines and glossy accents for her eyes and nose. I also slightly modified her face.


The "I love you" sentiment is part of the new release as well, but the punny follow up I did myself and printed from my computer. :) I love using play on words! 


Here's a better look at the whole treat box. I guess people call them 'sour cream containers' but I have never seen sour cream come in one of these! It's cute anyway, and easy to make. Just roll a 6x4 piece of paper into a cylinder (I wrapped it around a toilet paper roll) and secure it so you have a tube. Squish one end together and glue it closed. Run the end through the crimper if you have one, if not, no big, it still works. :) Squish the other end of the tube in the opposite direction and run the end through the crimper but don't glue it shut. Fill it with treats or toys, then punch two holes and tie closed with twine or ribbon.

 

I'm really enjoying my time on the Peachy blog this month, and super enjoying my peachy stamps all over again. ♥ If you came here first, I encourage you to pop on over to the Peachy blog and see what's going on with those super talented ladies!

Polka dots and stripes

Today's card is for the February Release Challenge 2 at The Peachy Keen Connection. For this challenge we are to use polka dots and stripes. I love combining dots and stripes. And, for this card, I used all scraps! Gotta love using up scrap pieces. Also the ribbon matches much better in real life. Not sure why I can't get the colors to cooperate in the photo, but you get the idea. ;) The sentiment is from the January release.


The cute little car -- ON A WOBBLE!! Look at him go! LOL -- is a Cuttlekids die. And of course he wouldn't be complete without a PKS Cornies face, now would he!

Monochromatic birthday card

This card is for my mother-in-law's birthday coming up in March. March is a HUGE birthday month in my fam with some multiples on some days even! But back to biz.....I made it for the Peachy monochrome challenge this month. I love the vintage look of sepia tones with black. I think it looks so rich and elegant. I found the BoBunny Et Cetera papers to be perfect for the look I wanted to achieve.


As always, I made my own rolled flowers; two versions this time. Added the vintage looking ribbon and champagne colored string pearl beads, and vintage lace for an even more old-timey feeling.

To create the sentiment I used two different Peachy sets. "Birthday" is from the Recess Jump Rope Girl, and "Greetings" from Fruit Sentiments Two. My label is by Spellbinders, butterflies by Martha Stewart.

Be sure to pop on over to the Peachy Keen Blog where you'll find me each Tuesday this month as guest designer!! I'm beyond thrilled to be working with Kathy's talented team and hope you'll visit me over there. :) Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend. My thoughts are prayers are with the East Coast that Nemo leaves quickly and does no harm.

Product List:
Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-125 Recess Jump Rope Girl

Spellbinders nesting labels
Quickutz doily and scallop circle dies
