Peachy Keen Stamps {Guest Designer}: Penguins...on vacation!

*** Today is the last day to be entered in the giveaway. ***
*** Read to the end of this post to find out how to enter. ***


Today I am once again visiting the fantabulous supply section of the PKS store and today we are going to take a little trip with these adorable penguins {Do you have your camera ready? They sure do!}:


The minute I saw these in the PKS store I was just itching to get them dressed up in some fun patterned paper.


It looks good on them, doesn't it?


Look at the great depth on that chipboard! It makes for some very sturdy pieces.

I think these would look great as an addition to a vacation themed layout, don't you?


I love that even just the eyes from the PKS stamp sets give so much expression that you can use them on their own. The eyes here are from the Funshine Face Parts set. I like the faces on my creations a little bit small and off to the side to add a bit of character so I went with the faces that are recommended for 3-4" dolls.

Would you like to get some of the great stamps or other supplies from Peachy Keen Stamps?

Peachy Keen Stamps {Guest Designer}: Ornament Mini Album

Today's post today is stamp-less.
That's right...this stamp-based company doesn't just have a ton of fun things for stampers, they have so. much. more.

Take a look at their great Christmas ornaments for example:



Not looking very Christmas-y today, are they?


The acrylic ornaments in the PKS store are fabulous for making mini albums!


Add some fun patterned paper {I highly suggest the double sided papers for working with the acrylic pieces} and some stickers and it is ready for photos!

{Just a tip: use a clear drying medium like Glossy Accents for adhering your papers to the acrylic.}


I mixed together a set of large round ornaments and a set of large star ornaments for varying page shapes. There are other shapes available as well in the PKS store.

Would you like to create an acrylic mini album or something else from the fabulous products available from Peachy Keen Stamps?

Peachy Keen Stamps {Guest Designer}: Gingerbread Girl

As I mentioned on Monday I had fun cruising the "Supplies" section of the PKS store and when I saw all of the chipboard and acrylic goodies there I was amazed. At first glance, many of them seem to be focused around a winter theme, but I wanted to stretch myself to do something different with them.


Does that look like how you would picture a gingerbread girl?

When I saw the gingerbread shapes I locked on to that fun hairdo and couldn't get past the fact that it would make a really adorable little girl. When I got my order in the mail I was surprised at the beautiful cuts of chipboard. The edges are so neat and clean and the chipboard is a very nice thickness.




I created the dress just by using the chipboard shape as a pattern and topped it off with some twine and a cute little face from the PKS Funshine Face Parts.


My kids are always making themselves paper people to play with and they instantly hovered around me as I worked on this girl, just waiting until I would hand her over to them. She is now theirs to play with and they love her! With the great quality of the chipboard I think she will stand up to their play and look good for a long time.

Would you like to win a little something to play with from Peachy Keen Stamps?
