PKS-Let's Face it Friday-Old School

Hey there! Today is the Let's Face it Friday challenge over on the Peachy Keen Challenge blog. The theme this week is "Old School" -creating a project based on the year you graduated and make sure to "Peachify" with a fun face! 

This was kind of a hard challenge..I was trying to think of the things that went on when I gradutaed (in 2004, so it wasn't that long ago)..but I just decided to go with a senior year layout. I actually made a graduation LO back in the day when I first started scrapbooking and I had to laugh at the way I used to scrapbook..boy have my skills improved! lol..

Here's my new page..

((sorry for the bad lighting, that's what I get for taking my pics late at night! ))

I used the PK-590 Blushing Bride assortment for my grad-gal

Aww I was so young here..only 18!

I made a little scene at the botton of my page by paper peicing the school/bus from the pattern paper and I used my cloud punch and my button maker.

I hope you like it! If you want to join in the challenge you can make anything from the year you gradutaed..from music you listen to, your hairstyle, clothes, your car..anything! As long as you add a Peachy Keen face to it!

Mother's Day Cards

Hello! Happy late Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms! I hope you all enjoyed your day! I was planning on making cards for my sisters, my aunts, my grandmas..but when it came down to it, I only had time to  do one for my mom and  my MIL...lol..it happens, I think we kinda under estimate the time that goes into each card!...When I was making this I asked my mom what her favorite animal was, she said giraffe, which I never would have expected, but it gave me another chance to use Create a Critter!

Isn't that giraffe adorable! Love it!..I used a scallop punch for the edge of the kraft paper and added faux stitching (I really should invest in a sewing machine with all this FAUX stitching going on..lol!).

I also used the Mother's Day cart for the sentiment.

For my MIL's card I used Walk in my Garden for the vases and the heart flowers...

And for the heart flourish I used the Mother's Day cart also, and stamped the sentiment..nice and simple!

Hope you like 'em! Thanks for stopping by, have an awesome day!
