CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST

Yes it is contest time again.............oooooooooo I so love contests and this time around we have the awesome PEACHY KEEN STAMPS online store sponsoring a PAPER DOLL cartridge to one lucky winner.....Kathy over at PEACHY KEEN STAMPS is awesome. They sell some of the cutest well made clear stamps, but they are really best known for their HAPPY FACE STAMPS. These stamps go hand and hand with the PAPER DOLL cartridge. PEACHY KEEN STAMPS offers so many different expression for your PAPER DOLL faces.......If you already own the PAPER DOLL cartridge, you really need to invest in a set of these faces.........THEY ARE AWESOME....Here is a little bit about PEACHY KEEN STAMPS:

Peachy Keen Stamps is a family owned and now, an Incorporated business. We carry a complete line of self-clinging, transparent stamps. The stamps are unmounted and require an acrylic block to adhere to as a temporary mount. The designs are created by me and the stamps are manufactured by my husband, Dave. Dave is a polymer tech who has over 25 years experience in stamp making. Our products are 100% guaranteed against manufacturer defect or your money back.

We've taken the frustration of faces out of the equation when it comes to making paper dolls and more. Peachy Keen Stamps currently holds the largest selection of face stamps in the world! :)

When I visited the PEACHY KEEN STAMP site, it immediately made me feel all cheery and wonderful inside because the stamps are just so cute, so with that said, we here at the BUG site want to see some colorful, cheery cards..............Spring is just around the corner and the colors I think of during Spring time is like ORANGES, GREENS, YELLOWS, HOT PINKS with a touch of brown. So here are the DETAILS:

The Doodlecharms cartridge has to be one of my favorite carts......it has so many cute little cuts on it.........like for instance the envelopes..........These adorable envelopes can be cut and embellished to where you don't even need a card to go with them....The designers this week we asked to use either of the envelope cuts on the Doodlecharms cart...There are two, one on page 86 (not an actual envelope) and the other is on page 131....and once again the ladies all did a wonderful job.....Don't forget to check the blog within about a week, we will be having another contest...
