Project Life Got Peachy!

Anything Goes! Ok!! This weeks project life is full of everything from bombings, explosions, backyard redos and pets. Well, little bits of it all anyways. I used a couple different stamps from 2 different Peachy Keen Stamps Stamp Club sets. I used the August 2012 set for a journal card and the numbers on the tags on the backyard pictures. The tags are from the January 2013 set which are actually Valentine chocolates but HEY! why not use them for other stuff too?
 
Enjoy!

Xyron...A love hate relationship..

I don't know about others but I have been having a hell of a time with my Xyron products.
I think the Xyron brand is good adhesive wise but I have really bad experiences with more than
3/4 of the adhesive staying on the runner strips and not on my papers :( I have this problem with both the tape runners and the Mega runner. Not sure if it is just the dot stuff or if it's all types but I waste more than 3/4. Silly me keeps trying in hopes it gets better but I have better application luck with runners from the 99 cent store :(
 
My entry into this weeks Peachy Keen Stamps challenge suffered due to the above but it will
build character LOL. As for the challenge I used the colors and inspiration from the image. The image makes me think "refreshing and relaxed" for me (corny alert) this is my hubby so I made a little something to set on his desk to find in the morning.
 
Enjoy
