We are back with our Meet the Challenger series highlighting a challenger from our upcoming “Designer’s Challenge – Favorite TV Show” edition. Meet Kathy from Tickled Peach Studio. Tickled Peach Studio has the most adorable custom party printables shop and on her blog she shares lovely party inspiration. I’m so excited to see what Kathy comes up with for this challenge! Let’s Meet Tickled Peach Studio:

- What is your favorite color?
I am addicted to green! My favorite is sage green.
- What is the best bargain you ever got?
I found a 7-piece set of decorative plates by Ashley Manor at a garage sale for $10. After getting home and searching for the design online I found out the plates were valued at approximately $150!
- Are you a beach or pool person?
I enjoy sitting and walking on the beach, but enjoy swimming in a pool.
- Do you still ride roller coasters?
I would, but we haven’t been to a theme park in at least 5 years.
- What is your favorite vacation spot?
I prefer a quiet location with beautiful scenery and history.
- What is your most embarrassing moment?
I embarrass very easily so picking one moment is impossible.
- What is your favorite sound?
My favorite sound is the laughter of my two year old daughter. She brings a smile to my face every time she laughs.
- What would you describe as your design style?
I would describe my design style as simple, classy, and clean.
- Who is your biggest inspiration?
My husband and daughter inspire me daily. They are my whole world and I always strive to be a better wife and mother for them.
- If you could have a theme song, what would it be?
Can I have a theme band? Over the years any song by Matchbox 20 has become by theme song depending on what was happening in my life.
- If you could pick any reality TV star that relates to you, who would it be?
I don’t really relate to any reality TV stars, and I am not sure I would want to.
- What’s a motto you live by?
Laughter is good for the soul.

It’s been a while since we have shared some of our new stationery but we have quite a few new suites that we will be sharing soon. Starting with this beautiful tropical boarding pass wedding invitations. Our bride contacted us for Save the Date tags, Boarding Pass Invitations, and Wedding Announcements. We loved her cream, coral and gold color palette! Our Boarding Pass invitation suite continues to be one of our most popular offerings. These came out just beautiful, we added Swarovski crystals for a little pop of glam.

After coming up with various ways to do a backdrop for my dessert tables, I finally rented a Pipe & Drape system from a local rental company last year for an event. I didn’t do measurements of the ceiling before and when we got it to the house guess what, it was too tall by about one inch. I couldn’t even use it, so had to get clever and pull together something on the fly. Since then I have been wanting to try Chris’ from Celebrations at Home Pipe & Drape system tutorial. Well I finally did! It worked like a charm and only cost me $16 bucks to make. I asked Chris if I could share her tutorial here, along with my commentary (in RED) because I didn’t follow instructions all the way, I had to start over once (not the tutorial’s fault, mine because I didn’t pay full attention)! Here we go!

I’m so excited to share with you our latest little soiree:
The Love Boat: A Valentine’s Voyage

I wanted to do this party for the children on our block because its cold outside and the kids are rarely out playing these days. So I thought it would be nice to get them all together for a little fun card making party so that they could make valentine day cards for their friends. It all started with the theme, the Love Boat was one of my favorite shows growing up and I thought it would make such a cute theme for the party but I knew I had to make it “kid” appropriate. I hope you find some sweet Valentine Day party inspiration for your celebration!

Happy Monday!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything but we’ve been busy busy busy planning new and exciting things for 2012. With that said I’m ready to announce the 3rd Designer’s Challenge! I never would have thought that this would have so well received and so much fun. We already have challengers lined up for the 4th challenge already! These 1o designers are amazing and I’m so excited to see what they come up with. After thinking about this challenge and how to make it different, I wanted to create a theme that would allow each designer the flexibility to be as creative as their minds can take them. So…. I decided on “Favorite TV Show”. It could be from your childhood OR it could be your favorite show today…either way, I’m super excited about the shows that have been chosen thus far. This is going to make for some fabulous inspiration! Remember the budget for this challenge is $100!

Let’s Meet the Designers!
