Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #291 - Happy Birthday!!

Hello sweet friends and followers - TGIS!

For those of you who don't know what that means,

it's Thank God it's Saturday!!  My favorite day of the week 

for lots of reasons... no work (usually), sleeping in, leisurely

coffee and breakfast, some crafty time (if I'm lucky)

and the start of another weekly challenge at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

Oh boy do we have a FUN theme for you this week - BIRTHDAY!

Here's my card featuring "Sweet Birthday Kids" 

I decided to keep it simple (KISS) and not add a bunch of 

embellishments this time.  It will be much easier to mail this

way.  The post office usually loves to see me coming

with my heavy and special handling cards due to the embellishments

and/or layers and thickness - but not this time :o)

Since it's the start of a new month we also have a new monthly sketch.

The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY 

of our Challenges during the 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!

Here's the fabby August sketch:

 I am one of those crafters who LOVES to use sketches as a starting 

point for my creations.  So I happily used the August sketch for

for my card this time but flipped orientation and changed the

shape from a regular A2 to a square layout.

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

Brown Sugar Challenges #157 - Animals

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #70 - Anything Goes

Crafty Hazelnut's Pattern Paper challenges - August

Sister Act Card Challenges #71 - Anything Goes

The Outlawz challenges - Monday Greetings "Anything Goes"

Friday Mashup Challenges #219 - Color and/or Square shaped

(I went with the square option this time).

I sure hope that you will decide to join us this week!  You

could WIN some Krafty $$ to spend in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!

But..... only if you enter and share your own gorgeous creation.

Oh and hey... because sometimes I'm a crafty enabler - and love it

when other enable me too with notice of awesome deals on my

favorite crafty products, I wanted to make sure to tell you that 

the HUGE summer sale at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 has been extended through the weekend!  There are hundreds 

of awesome stamps in this SALE and many of them are 40 and 50% off.  

HURRY though because when they are gone, they are gone.  

Kimmie isn't planning on getting restocks on these sale stamps.  

Head over to the Krafty store and cross a few things off of your wishlist! 

I snatched up a couple myself that I didn't want to miss out on!
