Paper Punch Addiction

Hello everyone! Thank you to all of my loyal readers that stuck around while I took a break from blogging. The last year was filled with personal challenges and a dip in my creative juices. I have missed sharing with you all and hope to get back into regular posting. Peachy Keen has come out with some truly awesome face sets over the past year and I am eager to start sharing my punch art again. Stampin' Up! has retired many of my favorite punches so I need to figure out all of my new go-to punches!

Lets get this show on the road!!! Lets start with some inspiration!

Halloween is coming so how about returning to three of my own favorite halloween creations first?

Creepy Cute

Happy Monster

Pumpkin Pooch

More inspiration from other website:

Hershey's Spider, Bad and Ladybug

Monster Bags

Pumpkins and Fall Extravaganza

Soft Soap

Nail Polish Cupcake Tutorial

Halloween Fry Boxes

Peachy Keen Fond Farewell Blog Hop

As 2013 comes to a close, I reflect on personal challenges in my life and realized that without friends like Kathy Jakopovich (the founder of Peachy Keen Stamps) and the other amazing ladies on the PKS team that I have come to know over the last few years as a design team member, I would have truly struggled. Their presence has certainly been felt! The ladies on the team are truly very talented and it has been an extreme pleasure and privilege to work with them over the past year as well as past design team members in our alumni. This year I have not created nearly as much as I would have liked to but I hope to get back to sharing and creating much more in the new year!

I wish the new (and old) members of the Peachy Keen design team a very happy new year and all of my blog readers who have been very patient with me and my lack of posting! Thank you!

If you came from Melissa's blog, you are on the right track. Be sure to visit all of the blogs and leave a comment for a chance to win a sweet Peachy Keen prize!!!!

Here is some of my favorite creations of the year. The PKS Stamps of the Month have truly been awesome this year!!! And so many cute and wonderful new faces came out this year to!

PKS Challenge Glitter!

I found this cool card fold and I just had to try it out for this week's PKS Challenge. It's called the Twisted Fancy Fold. I got the instructions on how to make it HERE.

The Peachy Keen July 2013 SOTM set was perfect for this card. Isn't this cute little snowman the greatest? I glittered his belly and around his face.

Puppy Love

I shared this cool technique on my blog back in Oct 2011. It's still a lot of fun today! For the step by step tutorial on making an Accordion Peeker Card, please visit my blog HERE.

I used this technique to make this adorable dog card. I used the August 2013 Stamp of the Month set.

PKS Photo Challenge

This week's Peachy Keen Challenge is based on a photo inspiration. I admit that I really had to reach on this one. The color combo was hard for me to get into. I ended up using 3 of the colors shown.

For my card I used the PK-1341 Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents. I love the pinecones! For some reason the colors were a bit washed out. I think my lighting was too bright.....

Peachy Keen Challenge

I was really behind the 8-ball on getting this posted! a day late and a dollar short. Anyway, i hope you enjoy this card. I used one of my favorite new Peachy Keen sets called PK-1334 Howling Puppy. I did a gate fold and it says "I miss you" inside.

Awesome phone case

It's not often that I write about non crafting things, but I just had to share this with all of you. I was recently looking for a storage case for my smart phone. I wanted something stylish, quality made and protected my phone well. I found the website www.thesnugg.com. This site is great for your iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy S phone or Kindle storage needs.

I got the black leather pouch case for my Galaxy S3 phone. The quality of the leather is fantastic and the case is very well made. My phone did indeed fit very snugly in the case. The inside is very soft so the case and screen of your phone doesn't get scratched. To get the phone out of the case, you pull the S tab on the back of the pouch. The elastic tab pulls the phone up out of the case like those ribbon pouch cards that you've probably seen on the net. Check out the details HERE. Right now there is a really good sale going on over at the website so if you are looking for a nice case, head on over to the website. Here is a pic of my phone in the case, after I pulled the tab to get it out of the case. When it's fully in the case, the entire phone is covered.

Check it out. www.thesnugg.com
