Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #12
The Let's Face it Friday Challenge this week was to create a project featuring handmade flowers and our PKS faces, of course. I wanted to create a bunny in the carrot patch so I brought out my trusty Tear Bear Face Parts set which I think I use the most. I love the eyes and noses in this set! Jump on over to the challenge site HERE to check out the other great projects that the DT members cooked up. If you have a PKS face set, play along in the challenge for a chance to win the 1 1/8" Happy Lashes and Dolly Dumplin face sets.

Cut the bottoms off medium ovals for feet. Sponge the edges of inside ear pieces with Regal Rose ink. Stamp the eyes with Black Staz On ink. Stamp the nose with Regal Rose ink. Draw line under nose with zig pen. Stipple regal rose ink into cheeks. Glue feet onto back of body. Glue ear pieces together and glue to back of head. Attach head to body with dimensional.

Sponge pieces of daffodil with More Mustard ink. Sponge edges of pumpkin pieces with Cajun Craze ink. Sponge edges of garden green pieces with garden green ink. Sponge edges of certainly celery and old olive pieces with Garden Green ink. Tear top of chocolate chip piece to look like a patch of dirt. Sponge edges with Early Espresso ink.
Layer the flower pieces with liquid glue. Attach a self adhesive pearl or rhinestone in the center of each flower. Glue tops on carrots. Put one carrot in the bunny's paws. Glue the other 3 carrots onto the back of the dirt heap piece. Glue a celery grass piece onto the front of an olive grass piece. Create 2 sections of grass. On the back section of grass, glue the branch pieces onto the back for the flower stems and trim away excess.

Craft Project Central Guest Designer
Good morning all, I was given the opportunity to guest design for Craft Project Central. They have many great tutorials and the cost to subscribe for a month is really reasonable. I was originally scheduled for April but was asked to move it up to this month due to an illness with another designer. I need to play catch-up with the projects already featured this month, so I'll be posting a few projects today. Please take a moment to check out the site, they have lots of great tutorials! You can visit the subscription site HERE. All of the projects I am showing today are available in the March subscription.
I will be posting pictures of my project when it goes live on the site. Thanks!

Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #11
Thanks for visiting me today and checking out the Let's Face it Friday Challenge. Be sure to check out the other great ideas at the Challenge Site HERE.
The Challenge:
Create a project (can be a card, scrapbook layout, altered item, etc.) with either real or faux stitching.
Play along at the challenge site for a change to win an assortment of Peachy Keen Stamps (winner's choice)!!!! What an awesome prize! All you need to do is go to the challenge site and link a new project by March 17th. Please be sure to link DIRECTLY to your project and not just to the homepage/album.
I decided to make a Sunshine card. Mr. Sunshine was created using the Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces Assortment (PK-490).
Stamp the largest face with black Staz On ink on Summer Sun cardstock, Punch out the face using a 1 3/4" Circle punch. Add white to the eyes with a white unibal gel pen. Add blush to the cheeks with a stipple brush and regal rose ink. Cut a strip of summer sun cardstock 3" wide. Using your paper cutter (or scissors), cut strips of cardstock for the sun rays. Make sure to angle the cuts so they are narrower on one end. Follow the same process with a contrasting yellow. I used a glitter coated Coordinations cardstock. Glue the smaller strips onto the larger strips. Glue the rays onto the sun and then use a circle cutter or die to cut a circle around the sun. I offset the cut so the sun was in the upper right corner.

The layout of my card is a scallop circle easel. Basic instructions are located HERE. After cutting my sun, I cut another circle the same size in soft sky (which was embossed with the stampin up lattice folder). Mount the sun on the blue circle with dimensionals. Cut a larger circle in melon mambo and die cut a scallop circle for the base. For this card, I used the sizzix scallop circle as detailed in the basic instructions linked above. After gluing the melon circle onto my glitter strip scallop circle, I zig zag stitched all the way around the circle then mounted the sun circle piece.
