Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps! September Challenge mid-month inspiration

Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

We can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Food/Cooking and/or Anniversary!

You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!

I chose the Anniversary

theme as the inspiration for  my card today. 

The sweet owl couple from

the NEW

Happy H-Owl-idays

was perfect for this! 

I also used the beautiful

Bashful Blush hybrid ink

(It’s the ink of the month!)

and the Geo 2 stencil 

to create the background 

for the lovebirds. 

Hope you like this card 

And that I’ve inspired you

to join the challenge! 

Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, features the gorgeous Bashful Blush Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.

Every month we post a brand new challenge with two themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

This month's challenge will remain open until September 30th.

Let's see your krafty stuff!!

Today is my 25th Anniversary so I made a card for my
very patient, helpful and loving husband.  It's so amazing
how fast 25 years together goes by!  What a ride marriage is,
so many ups and downs and in betweens but as this card
says "Together is Better"!  I hope he likes this card.

Supplies:  Stamp set "Together is Better"
Papers: Simple Stories
Cardstock: Marina Mist, Whisper White & Riding Hood Red
(all from Stampin' Up!)
Colored with Copic markers

Do you recognize this layout?  It's the March sketch

at Kraftin Kimmie Challenges.  In addition to the great 

Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month 

we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month long 

and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's 

during that month you will get an additional chance 

to win a store gift card!  You do NOT have to use the sketch, 

it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if ya need it!

Guest Designer for April at Your Next Stamp - A Perfect Couple

Oh good gracious...what a day!

I'm so embarrassed to say that I 

I finally get myself home from work only to realize 

that I forgot to write up this post today - such a bummer

as I have some really fun news to share with you!!

Oh well...better late than never and the day hasn't ended yet :o)

So..... I can't stand it any longer....I have the awesome opportunity

to be a Guest Designer this month at Your Next Stamp

Really looking forward to crafting with this amazingly

creative and talented team.  I mean seriously...

How Lucky Can a Girl Get?? Whoo Hoo!

My very first creation for this month is a card for my

wonderful sister and her hubby who will be celebrating 28 years

together this month.  Yes.. she was a child bride and is still

very young.  He on the other hand is a bit of a geezer - LOL!

Just kiddin' - he's a great guy and they are a terrific couple together.

Here's my card using two fun stamps sets called

"Oh Jam It" and "Fun Faces" (faces on the toast):

and here's the inside too using another stamp 

from a set called "What Not Sentiments Three".

Do you recognize the layout of this card?

It's YNS Sketch Challenge #10 that I used (see below)
