August Krafty Peeks - Day ONE - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our August Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an amazing book and tea lover set

designed by Michelle Houghton,

 and it's called.....

LOST IN A BOOK! 

You'll find lots of book images as well as a sweet teapot and cup and several awesome quotes in this set! 

This set speaks to me! 

Books are a passion of mine! 

Reading is too, but lately I collect more 

books than I actually read! 

This is the first page in my new reading journal. 

I used the new Leafy Mandala stencil and 

paper pieced the beanbag chair on the stamped 

image from Just One More Page. 

Then, I sponged some Mostly Melon ink 

(the special ink of the month) all over the 

page and stamped a pattern with the same 

color using the open book stamp from 

Lost in A Book. 

The terrific sentiment is also from this set. 

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out LOST IN A BOOK! in action in combination with our other

August Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
LEAFY MANDALA

and 

PERFECT PIES

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the August Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, August 19th in the Krafty Friends group! 

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!

Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

December Skrappy Challenge

Good morning krafty friends! 

It's December and that means it's time for a brand new

SKRAPPY CHALLENGE 

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD! 

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy

....except a card!

So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, 

altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products 

and make sure it's a new creation! 

As soon as we have at least five people playing along, 

we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize! 

You have until Monday, January 4th to enter and you can submit 

as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN! 

Also be sure to share your designs on the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page 

because we love to see your stuff! 

Do you love to journal?  Maybe you don't love to journal

but you love lists?  I love lists - there's just something so

satisfying about making a list for me. It seems to put

structure around my world if I have something concrete

to look at - especially if I can check things off as "DONE".

Kimmie recently started a journaling group and I've 

really been enjoying taking my list making to the next 

level of memory keeping and some journaling.  

Here's a page I made last night using the super cute

(and brand new) SAVE MY PLACE stamp set.

If this sounds like something that you would like to learn 

more about - here's the link to the 

Krafty Journaling Fun facebook group. 

But for now there's some more inspiration from 

the Krafty Team below. Click the links to be inspired!!

August Skrappy Challenge

Hello and happy Tuesday! 

Can you believe it's August already?!

Truthfully I'm kind of wondering how the heck

that happened so fast LOL! But I'm not complaining

really as I love the hot days of August and I look

forward to fall being right around the corner. 

Oh but I digress because what I really wanted to share 

with you is that we have a new challenge for you at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.  

At the start of each month it's the SKRAPPY CHALLENGE.

What's this you might ask? 

Well...it's an opportunity for you to 

create and share with us a project that 

is really anything but a card.  

You can make and share a 3D project such as a 

tag, bookmark, box, ornament, or maybe some

ATCs or a scrapbook or planner spread.  

We love to see you use your Kraftin' Kimmie goodies and 

stretch your creative muscles to inspire us and others!

If we get at least 5 people to participate in the challenge this

month there will be a $10 prize to the Krafty Shop offered to

one lucky random winners. You have until August 31st to enter.

I am one of those people that still prefers real books over 

electronic versions.  Something about the weight of the 

book in my hands, the sound of the pages turning and the smell. 

To me that's just heavenly!  And I also hate to turn the corners of

my pages to mark my place and love to use bookmarks! 

So I collect those (kind of like I collect coffee mugs). 

I had this idea to make a book wrap/sleeve with a removable 

bookmark as a fun way to gift or share a book.  

The main image is from GIRL POWER.  The sentiments

scattered around the sleeve are from several other stamp sets

that feature readers, reading or bookworms.  

If you would like to get some more inspiration just pop

on down to the links and go visit some more of the krafty

krew.  We love when you visit us and let us know if you like

our creations!  So say hi while you're visiting!  

And then go get krafty and share w/us in the blog

or in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group.

 BETSY BOOKLOVER and a couple of the fairy tale friends
from the books she loves to read.  Take a peek :o)

Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Scrappin' Challenges - July {Anything But A Card}

Hello krafty friends :o) 

thanks for being here to visit me today!

We have a another Krafty Scrappin' Challenge

starting today at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.
What does that mean? Well it means for this challenge
you can create ANYthing your little heart desires
as long as it's NOT a card! Calendars, bookmarks,
pocket pages, traditional scrap pages,

holiday gifties, planner pages... you get the picture!

I decided to make a book notebook for my daughter.

She's always making lists of the books she either wants
to buy or the ones she wants to read again, or the ones 

she has purchased but not yet read (there's a lot of those!).

 She has these lists all over the place so I thought
it might be fun to make her a notebook to keep them in.   

Here's the front:

I used one of the adorable main images and all the 

sentiments from"Happiness is Reading" - and couple

sentiments from Book Dragon too.  

Here's the inside with a flap for notes

or bookmarks - the top sentiment is

from the NEW Book Dragon clear stamp set

and the bottom one is from Happiness is Reading  

Then I randomly stamped some of the inside 

pages with the Book Dragon.

and here's the back with another pocket

and another sentiment from Book Dragon

I made three sections for her so she can

keep her lists separated as she likes to do

and be able to cross off and move when she 

is ready for a different section.  

Okay so enough from me. Now it's  your turn!

You will have a whole month to play along and you can play 
as many times as you like! Here are a few things to remember...

THIS MONTH'S THEME: ANYTHING GOES!!!

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, 

altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)
3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
4. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
5. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes! 

Once we've reached 5 entries, we draw a random winner 

(winner will be drawn at the close of the challenge)!!
6. You have until Monday, August 22nd @ 11:59 pm Eastern to get your entries in.
7. Be sure to also share your creations on our Krafty Friends FB page

 so we can all drool and OOHHHH and AHHHHH!
