Deconstructing Sketch #82 - Congratulations!

This is the last Deconstructing Sketch for this year and this card is my last card for 2012...

A friend asked me if I could make her a baby card for one of her friends and this is what I came up with...

I used one of my very favourite Kraftin' Kimmie stamps "Stripes The Zebra" which is now retiring from the store, so if you like him there is still time to drop by and get him...

The papers are from MME's Lime Twist "Fly A Kite" 6x6 paper pad. The sentiment is also from Kraftin' Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment Set and the punch from Fiskars.

This is Jen's amazing sketch, which btw, I flipped so that the image would fit nicely on the card.

I coloured Stripes in with my Prisma pencils and as you can see did a little sewing and distressing...

You can find Stripes HERE at the Kraftin' Kimmie Store...

Because it's Christmas and the end of the year Jen has decided to make this a two week challenge.

Here's what you have to do to enter:

1. Use the sketch to the left to make a project, any kind you like using any image you like.
2. Post it somewhere on the internet. Use keyword DS82 if you post to an online gallery like Splitcoaststampers.
3. Link back here to Inlinkz at the bottom of the post so we can stop by and see it.
4. Check back here next Wednesday to see if you are one of this week’s favorites and grab a badge for your blog.

Want your sketches a little early? Follow the Deconstructed Sketch on Facebook!! And if you are looking for some older sketches to dig through you can find them in the Deconstructed Sketchbook.

Deconstructing Sketch #43 - Be Naughty!!!

In the mist of the chaos that I call my craft/study

at the moment... I am re-arranging and de-cluttering. You

know how it is... when you buy a new print to go on the wall

and suddenly you need to make the room look nice for the

print... Yes, Ok, I know I am weird!!! Anywhoo, After a bit

of stressing and procrastination I HAVE actually managed to

make a card for this week's

Deconstructing Sketch!!!

This is my card...

This is Jen's Sketch for this week! I know I practically

gush every week how Jen's sketch's are AMAZING!! But

seriously... they are... and this one is SO fantastic to work

with you really should give it a try!!

This week I dug out one of my most favourite Kraftin'

Kimmie stamps to use... Drucilla!!

The paper's I have used are from MME's Miss Caroline

"Dilly Dally" 6x6 paper pad. The Sentiment "Be Naughty"

comes from Kraftin' Kimmie's "Sassy" sentiments.

If you’d like to join us this week all you need to do is create a

image requirements for this challenge. Upload your project to your

by Cheryl Alger, which you can find in the Kraftin' Kimmie Store

The papers are from My Minds Eye's Lost and Found "Portobello

Road" 6x6 paper pad. I used Jen Shults Deconstructing Sketch

#19 for inspiration...

I coloured in the Shepard in with my Prisma pencils

and for the challenge part I paper pieced his robes..

which isn't as easy as it looks...

Last of all I decorated the inside of the card with one of the

perfect "Nativity Sentiments" that you can also find in the store...

Deconstructng Sketch 21...

Happy Thursday!!

This week's

Deconstructing Sketch

...As always...Is a pleasure to work with!!

How Jen keeps coming up with them week after week

is just amazing...You should really give them a try!!

This is my card using this week's sketch...

And this is Jen's AMAZING sketch #21...

For this card I used one of Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas

Interior Sentiment's sets. Now, I know that I said "interior"

BUT I think that you can use them on the front of your

card as well!

The papers are from Simple Stories "25 days of Christmas"

6x6 paper pad. The flowers are from a EK Success punch

and the lace is from Kaiser Craft. I distressed the card with my

Heidi Swapp edge distresser and some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain

distress ink.

I finished of the card using more of the papers on the inside and

another of the "interior" sentiments.

Found "Portobella Road" 6x6 paper pad. The border punch and

the little flowers are both from EK Success. The lace is from

Kaiser Craft.And the leaves are from a Martha Stewart punch.

I paper pieced her dress and coloured her in with my Prisma pencils.

sentiment "Friends are kisses blown to us by angels!" that

comes with Seraphina when you buy her...

Deconstructing Sketch #16

showing it to the girls...But I really don't think she

had anything to worry about....WOW!! I LOVE IT!

And this is my card....

This is my dad's b'day card...I know that your might be thinking

that it looks a bit young for him...But what can I say...The man

loves to fish and this fabulous Kraftin' Kimmie image named

"Curtis"after Kimmie's nephew is perfect!!

The papers are from MME's Lime Twist collection. This 6x6

paper pad is called "Fly A Kite". The border punch is from

Fiskars. And the little pearls are from Kaiser Craft.

I coloured Curtis in with my Prisma pencils and then cut

him out.

Kraftin' Kimmie August Release Blog Hop!!!

Today

Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps

is releasing their new AUGUST stamps!

As you’ve seen over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks,

we have lots of SPOOKTACULAR new stamps for you to play

with for HALLOWEEN! There are three new ADORABLE

LITTLE WITCHIES from Cheryl Alger, five new HALLOWEEN

FUN stamps from Emilie Goulet and six awesome new BATTY

PRINCESS AND FRIENDS stamps from Annie Rodrigue!!

If you have just arrived here from seeing our amazing and

fabulous Krafty Guest Peggy you are definitely on the right track...

BUT, if you have just popped into seeing what I have been up to

and want to start from the beginning, just head over to the

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog

As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at
each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win
packages of stamps from the new release!! And when you’re done
hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Shop,
because ALL the new images are NOW available.

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits

available for those of you who ‘need it all’!!

The stamps are grouped together by artist and are

available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

Let me introduce you to the gorgeous Magical Mathilda...

I LOVE this image, it really has be one of my favourites for

this release....And I don't know, it sort of reminds me of

Hogwarts and the books...The Worst Witch etc.

The papers are from MME's Lost and Found collection and this

particular 6x6 paper pad is called "Union Square". I used this

months SFYTT ...Cause it's just works!! And the sentiment

"Come And Sit For A Spell" is just one of two sentiments that come

with Mathilda when you purchase her!

I had the idea that I would colour Mathilda all in black

and white with my Prisma pencils but sort of changed my

mind at the last minute...The card just needed the colour...

Well, you know what I mean....

I then finished the card off with the papers I had left over and the

other sentiment "Bug and Hisses to You!".

Ok, I know you want to keep going and see what else the rest of the amazing Krafty Girls and our awesome Krafty Guests have come up and I just know you are dying to get to the Kraftin' Kimmie Store so I won't keep you any longer...
