Wonderful Wednesday (May 31st) - SKY'S THE LIMIT

Hello friends!  This week I get the pleasure of being your krafty girl 

hostess for Wonderful Wednesday at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES
 - the very last one of May 2017. 

Are you as stunned as I am at how fast this year is going by?  

Tomorrow we are half way through the year and before you 

know it it will be Christmas time again. Gulp!

  

Now that I've depressed you (LOL) how about I cheer you up 

with a fun little creation using Lucas and his sweet pup 

from "SKY'S THE LIMIT" ?!  You have to smile when you see this duo!

I made this card as a special request for a little boy who will soon

be a Big Brother to twin siblings!  I'm told he loves planes and 

dogs so how much more perfect can it get than to use this stamp set?

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge: Challenge #195 "For the Boys/Men"

Crafting by Designs - June "anything goes"

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes 

Okay so enough from me.  It's time for you to crank up your

crafty engines and propel yourself into your crafty space to

create something to share with us this week.

SKY'S THE LIMIT by artist Cheryl Grant.

KRAFTIN KIMMIE STAMPS NEW Release Feb 2017 BLOG HOP

Happy Sunday and Hello!

Today we have a really fun BLOG HOP 

for you showcasing the awesome NEW Release 

this month at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS! 

Woohoo! It's finally here!
ALL of the FOUR new clear stamp sets for February
are now in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop and

we're celebrating with a Krafty HOP!
So grab a nice hot beverage, sit back and relax while you hop
around and enjoy all the amazing creations from the
Krafty Design Team and Guests!!

Such a terrific month - especially for those who like masculine

images.  I think Kimmie and her artists have knocked it out of the park!

My card today features another fantastic guy image from

"SPORTY BOYS" which I've colored up like my

best friend's son's uniform so I can send it to him.

I didn't have any baseball papers so I made my own

using this terrific die cut panel (Your Next Stamp) as

my guide.  I cut the sentiment into individual words so 

it would fit on the large baseball (Simple Stories "So Rad" collection).

I did some more doodling to make the baseballs and added 

my favorite embellishment to use on cards - enamel dots.

Kinda fun huh?!  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

by artist Cheryl Grant called "SKY'S THE LIMIT". 

It will make your heart soar!

This fun new boy's set features Lucas and his furry pal!
It features one large main image plus FIVE coordinating sentiments in a fabulous font!

I had A LOT of creative fun with my card - check it out!

I colored the main image and road with copics, The sky and  

little town scene were sponged with distress inks (die cut 

is from Your Next Stamps). The white on the road and plane wings

is from a white sharpie paint pen.  Finally I added some puffy paint

around the die cut clouds (My Favorite Things) for more texture.
