Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #103 - Put A Pin In It!!

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 

this challenge. I also used Deconstructing Sketch #26 (again) 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 #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!!!

Kimmie REALLY needs to make more room for all the

awesome new stamps that are coming soon.  There are over 

FIFTY stamps on sale 40-75% OFF, some as low as $1, 

but only while they last!!  Once they are gone, they are gone!!  

**Note - Please keep in mind that some of these retiring stamps

included in the "O Holy Night Christmas Nativity Set" designed

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

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

#19 for inspiration...

 I coloured in the Shepard in with my Prisma pencils
