Welcome to anotherKraftin' Kimmie Challenge! This week Michele is challenging everyone to make a cardthat includes a pin in it.

 And this is what I came up with. I am getting a bit behind on my

Christmas cards so I thought I would colour Seraphina Angel for

some inspiration.. I LOVE this sketch!!

 The papers are from MME's Lost and Found Two's "Rosy"

6x6 paper pad. Border punches are from EK Success and Fiskars.

When I first saw what Michele wanted us to use for this challenge

I thought CRAP... I don't have ANY pins!! So I went and ordered these

really pretty ones from my fave online scrap-booking store

Anna's Craft Cupboard.

I coloured in Seraphina in with my Prisma pencils.

Ok,
now, if you would like to play along with us all
you need to do is head on over to the
Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog
checkout all the details and then go and make a
  card that has a pin of some sort on it ...Easy!!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #102- Make A Monochromatic Card!

Happy Saturday KKS fans...

 I am hosting this week's challenge and I decided

to make this challenge easy on you all...Or harder, depending on

your point of view...I would like you to make a 

"Monochromatic Card."

  For those who don't know, monochromatic

means "of one colour" according to the Collins Dictionary.

So, to give you a little inspiration...

Here is my card....

 

 

When I first started to make this card "pink" was not even in the

equation... But I really like the look of these delish papers from

MME's Lost and Found Two's "Blush" 6x6 paper pad as Winnie's

(designed by Annie Rodrigue and available now) dressing gown.

 I coloured Winnie in with my Prisma pencils.

 Now, please don't forget about Kimmie's

FRUGAL FRIDAYS!!!

Each Friday we will be posting 3-4 stamps that will be on sale at

LEAST 40% off!! These items will be on sale until Sunday night

ONLY, so be sure to scoop them up!

 

AND...

Kimmie is having an stamp RETIRING SALE on right now!!!

you need to do is head on over to the

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge 100!!!

It's celebration time at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps today!!

 Do you know why??? Well, actually it's for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, if you've noticed the challenge number.....today is our

 100th KKS Challenge!!!

Woohoo! And secondly, this month marks Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps'

SECOND BIRTHDAY!!!

Can you believe it?? So we're doing something special to mark the occasion!

 takes?? Well, here's your chance to show it!! Our challenge for

this week is to USE YOUR FAVOURITE KRAFTIN' KIMMIE

 STAMP! That's it...nothin' fancy! Just make us a creation featuring

 one of your fave KKStamps and share it on the KKStamps blog!

  Link it up with the little blue froggie and leave us a message in the

 comment section telling us that you're applying for the job!

The winner will receive a package of new release stamps and will be

 joining us for the challenges and krafty peeks for the month of

And here's my card...

Believe it or not this challenge is not as easy as Kimmie makes

it seem..lol! I have SO MANY favourite images and it was hard

to narrow it down to just one... I love Charlotte (my very first KK

 stamp) and I love Drusilla, the glamorous Annette, The Asian

 inspired girls...Oh and Willard and that's just SOME from the

 Moonlight Whispers range, then you have Cheryl's and Emilie's

 images not forgetting Cindy and Mindy and Chrissy's cuties...

arrrgh!!! See what I mean?! So after a very difficult decision in

 the end though I thought I would colour Brigitte...I have always

enjoyed colouring her and it has always relaxed me...Maybe cause

 she looks so relaxed in her bath...LOL!

The papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 6x6 Mini Deck.

The flower and border punches are from EK Success and the pearls

are from Kaiser Craft.

I coloured Bridgette in with my Prisma pencils and

 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!".
