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!

Have you ever wanted to be a Krafty Girl?? Think ya got what it

 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

December!! (You can still play along if you're not applying to be a

Krafty Girl and we'll have our regular weekly winner!) You have until

 October 31st to apply!

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

paper pieced her towels to match the paper.

Now, please don't forget about Kimmie's

FRUGAL FRIDAYS!!!

Each Friday we will be posting 6-7 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!

The stamps on sale this weekend are: Emilia, Angery Ballerina,

Also, you've probably heard that tomorrow is our annual Krafty Day

 that Kimmie is holding for the local stampers and scrappers!!

Well, she thought she would do something special for our online

 krafty friends who can't be with us in person......so tomorrow head on

 over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog to find out what we've

 got goin' on!!! It's exciting!!

This week I thought I would colour up one of my new

Kraftin' Kimmie "Christmas" stamps Seraphina...

GORGEOUS isn't she?? The papers are from MME's Lost and

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.

 I then finished the inside of the card with more of the papers and the

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

comes with Seraphina when you buy her...

Deconstructing Sketch #16

 This week's 

Deconstructing Sketch

 is a real dozy!!

I think, at first, Jen was a bit worried about

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

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

 Here it is....

How cool is that!!!

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' Kimme Challenge #89 - Clean and Simple!

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 card that is

"Clean and Simple"

That's right people...NO EMBELLISHMENTS!!!

No ribbon, no buttons, no brads, no flowers or blingy things...

You may however use a technique like sewing or embossing

if you chose and if your flowers are made of paper...them too!

So... Here is my card....

I thought that for this card I wanted the image to stand out and I 

thought that the very gorgeous and sexy Brigitte,one of my all

time favorites of the Moonlight Whispers range would be perfect!!

The papers I used are from Kaiser Craft's 61/2 Paper Pad called

Velvet Ensemble. The border punch from Fiskars. As you can

see I kept my card very simple and just let Brigitte do her stuff....

I coloured her in with my Prisma pencils and paper pieced her towels

to match the paper I used. The sentiment "Spoil Yourself" comes

with Brigitte when you buy her as well as another sentiment

"Take Me Away".

I finished off the card by stamping the inside with a co-ordinating

stamp of  some shampoo and soap that also comes with Brigitte

when you buy her and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from

Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment Set.

 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!

The stamps on sale this weekend are: Cup Cake Cory,

Snowshoe Fun, The Krafty Stamper, Valentine Willard,

and The Froggie Family.

card that is CLEAN and SIMPLE...Easy!
