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:

crafty engines and propel yourself into your crafty space to

submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, 
any style, any designand it can be a card, a scrapbook page,

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Komeback "DandyLion"

Happy Fri-YAY!  

Today we have another fantastic re-release of

a retired rubber stamp set.  We call it the 

KRAFTY KOMEBACK at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

If you aren't familiar with the krafty komebacks they are

previously retired rubber stamps.  When Kimmie

switched to the fabulous clear stamps the original

rubber ones were no longer made.  When they were sold 

out they were gone for good. However, Kimmie was able to
have her artists re-make some of the fan favorites
in the new fabulous clear sets.

I'm so excited about this month's krafty komeback 

because she was on my wish list for a long time 

and then when I decided to get her she was gone.

I was jumping for joy to see her again (with some 

new subtle differences that  make her even cuter)!

Meet DANDYLION! She was one of the most popular
images from artist Annie Rodrigue!

Here's my creation using this AhhhhDorable stamp

My background is made with Distress inks and the NEW 

Distress Oxide inks.  I love love love how fun they are

to use.  I only  have two colors right now but will most

definitely be getting more! I also watercolored 

Miss Dandylion with the regular distress inks and 

added some depth with Prismacolor pencils. Such a

fun card to make!  I'm so tickled to share it with you today!

Happy Mother's Day!

Are you ready for some amazing inspiration today?!
I sure hope so because the SIX new clear stamp sets that we've
been sharing all week for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS are
  NOW available in the krafty shop AND we're celebrating
with a Krafty HOP! The Krafty Krew and our fantastic 

guests have pulled out all their creative genius karma

and have some amazing creations to share with you today
featuring the new stamps for May!

This month of new releases has been my favorite so far 

(okay I know I've said that a time or two before but really

I think it is!!!).   Grab your favorite beverage, get comfy
and start hopping along with us.    

I'm using one of the two fantastic new sets by artist Cheryl Grant

called "COWS IT GOING".  Take a peek!

I got some Prisma Color colored pencils for my birthday 

this year (a set of 72). This is my first real attempt at coloring 

the entire image with them.  I'm pretty happy with how it looks :o) 

This stamp set just steals my heart.  I love cows! 

Thanks so much for popping in to visit me today. 

Now off you go to the next person in the list.  Enjoy! 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps NEW Release DAY FOUR and ANYTHING GOES Challenge

Happy weekend crafty peeps! 

I get the pleasure of being your hostess for this week's 

challenge and because it's peek week for the May NEW releases

at KRAFTIN KIMMIE the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

Today is the final day of peeks and the release party
is this afternoon at 2pm EST on Facebook!
I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes! 

Our final sets are by artist Annie Rodrigue! We know that so many
of you LOVE Mermaids And we've got TWO new one for you!
 First up is FLORENCE FINBOTTOM!

And the second one is SANDY SEAWATER!

I used Sandy Seawater on my card today - take a peek:

I stamped these images in Memento London Fog (light grey) ink
so I could try the no-lines technique.  Many of my krafty DT
teammates have this technique mastered but I've only done it one
other time before.  I'm pretty happy with this second attempt, but then
I think it would be hard to mess up this beautiful image too much :o)!
