A Peachy Keen Layout

Hi all my crafty friends! I had taken a little break to spend the holidays with my family. But now I'm back with a layout for the Peachy Keen layout challenge! Im a scrapbook-er at heart so this challenge was one of my favorites! Here is my layout... I used My Minds Eye patterned paper with some coordination card stock for the little squirrel.   He also has some Peachy Keen eyes, Wide Eyed kids 1 1/8". I just taped off the mouth and nose prior to stamping on the ink pad, then removed the tape from the stamp so there wasn't any ink transfer or smudges.

I used PK- 490 Everyday Character Face Assortment 1/2 "I put a little chalk on the cheeks, a added a little white gel pen, and some MS glitter glue to the candle. I followed the sketch for the design and used a re-cycled Starbucks coffee sleeve for the cupcake wrapper and the top underneath the Bo Bunny ribbon. The sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts "Smile On" set!

Tips for Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! Im  SO excited!  I am  a guest designer  at My-O-Scrappin for my friend Shannon- on Tuesdays she has a tips day. You should check it out. We were talking this past weekend and she asked me if I would like to share a tip today! So here is my tip, need to add a little color to your project? Missing  a little something, but dont have the right bling color? Do you have a regular colored  pearl? Well pull out your Copics and color one to match your design! I tried this the other day and just loved the result! You will too!

One more try with the craft room video

I changed the setting- let me know if it works now!! So Sorry- like I said my first one! Feel free to Fast forward!!

**Warning** I just want to let you all know this is my first video- Now I feel like a Gigantic Windbag. Just be warned. Tthere is a lot of annoying talking and no editing!!!! Yikes! Maybe I can talk one of the big kids into teaching me how to edit... but they are not home...Anywho- I thought I would show those of you some of how I can keep all my supplies and share this room with all 4 of my kids. It really is the hang out spot here and the couch is very well loved. They all hang out on the couch and use the desk area for homework when we are not crafting :) If you want to know how I store a certain item away from the kids, just ask... Ill take a pic for you.
