Here's my Krafty Girl creation to share with you today

using one of the adorable images and sentiments from 

the NEW September release clear stamp set called

ANGEL VOICES.  Take a look:

I love love love pink on Christmas cards!! 

I was very pressed for time this week (let's be honest I was 

finishing this quite late last night) so I didn't add much for 

embellishments other than those awesome wooden snowflakes, 

and kept it pretty simple. But with such an adorable image

what else do you really need - right???

My Time to Craft #305 - Alice in Wonderland

Hello sweet crafting friends!

Here it is the last weekend of September already - my how time flies!

I'm really relishing the fall weather - my favorite time of year. 

The challenge this next two weeks at MY TIME TO CRAFT

is Inspired by Alice in Wonderland.  

My card today features that little white rabbit that is always

running around saying 'I'm late...I'm late!"  My friends and

family know that I can definitely identify with that statement - LOL!

I kept it pretty simple this week and didn't add any embellishments

as I really was late in getting my card done this week.  Let's just

say it was one of the craziest weeks I've had in a while and I 

am totally exhausted!  Thankfully with such a darling image 

(from Bugaboo Stamps) and a great sketch (from MOJO Monday #418)

it's easy to get it together rather quickly.  

I'd also like to enter this in 

613 Avenue Create Challenge #142 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today.  

I hope that you will go see what the rest of my lovely teamies

have made for your inspiration too!  Would love to see your 

own creation in our gallery this time too!

 of our artists for the CLEARLY HOLIDAY September Release!
 We know these stamps will inspire you to make your own festive
 designs!   First off we shared a gorgeous sets of holiday sentiments
from artist, Becky Pearce called THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS!

clear stamp set.  Hope you like it!! 

 I think this might be about the last of my favorite holiday
papers from last year's Doodlebug line.  LOVE the non-traditional
colors of purple and blue together.  Those tiny little lights have
been in my stash for awhile (nearly a year) just waiting for such
a perfect reason to be used again.  I adhered them with some clear
liquid glue. It was a bit of a fussy process as I waited for each one to set
but so worth it in the end!!

Kraftin' Kimmie NEW Release Peek Day ONE - The Magic of Christmas

Hello friends and followers!
By now you may have heard the fabulous news that
KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS has gone CLEAR!!!!
I love these new stamps - they stamp so crisp and perfect
right from the get-go.  Pull them off the panel, pop them
on the block and ink them up.  Easy peasy wonderful!

Today is day ONE of the September NEW Release peeks
and debut of the first clear stamp set which is another
awesome sentiment stamp set by artist Becky Pearce called
"THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS".  This one is so perfect
for making lots and lots of Christmas cards with it's beautiful
fonts and sentiments. Take a look:

I made a quick little card using one of these fabulous sentiments

I started by stenciling a panel with stars and then added

some extra inking around the edges.  I had a major mishap

in the process so decided to quick creative and cut out the boo-boo

and add the panel to the bottom.  I like how it turned out -

it was a nice surprise or as crafter's call it "a happy accident".

I added the sticker ornaments and metallic cording (which have been

 in my stash for at least two years) and viola - done :o).

ALL of the NEW CLEAR September stamps PLUS a Limited Edition 

Super Sized HOLIDAY Kard Kit (you can find out more HERE) 

will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

SPECIAL ON-LINE Koffee Krop challenges!!

I'm delighted to be a hostess for the second challenge

of this special event and my challenge is 1:1:1.

(or use just 1 layer) with 1 sentiment and 1 image. 

Hopefully you've already seen the first challenge from 

Stephanie which is paper piecing.  If not, pop on

over to the KK challenge blog (click here) and

Here's what I came up with for 1:1:1

(I went w/the only 1 layer option)

Don't  you LOVE the happy faces on that sweet 

Punkin Family?  To keep my card as a 1 layer only

I stamped and embossed the image first then added 

some color with my watercolor pen and inks.  After drying the
panel w/my heat gun the sentiment - from the NEW
"My Best Friends are Witches" stamp set - was added and
embossed.  I'm pretty tickled with how this turned out since
this is a style that is a challenge for me too 

(what WAS I thinking?) LOL!!

King of the Crib - Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #22

Hello friends! Things have been a bit quiet on my blog

this past week.  I thought once school started things would 

kind of slow down again but things have gotten a bit crazier

and busier instead.  Hmmm...what's up with that?  

I did find time to make a special request card for a

new baby boy that is on his way soon.   Take a look:

The nursery is decorated in a jungle theme. 

I used the super sweet stamp set from Your Next Stamp

called "King of the Crib, a fun die cut set from SugarPea Designs

called "Baby Diaper Pin", some ribbon from my stash and some super 

adorable Doodlebug Patterned Papers - Baby Boy. 

It's a bit difficult to see in the photo but I double layered the lion's head

(stamped it twice and fussy cut around one of them) and popped it up 

with glue dots for extra dimension.  It's way cute IRL! 

Here's the inside too:

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday #377

Happy Saturday crafty peeps! 

Can you believe that it's the first Saturday in September?

I am having a really hard time understanding how it is

that time goes by so fast.  I swear that I blinked and

August was gone!  Before you know it Christmas will be here.

Hey...it's not polite to swear (you didn't think I heard you

cussing me for saying the "C" word already did ya?? Hahaha!!

So the good news (aside from it's the weekend) is that

it's time for another fabulous sketch challenge at

SKETCH SATURDAY!

Here's Sketch #377

and here's my card using it

That fabulous sentiment is from a stamp set called

"Spook-tacular Sentiments" by Kraftin' Kimmie stamps

(the twine, black dots and cat button are also from the KK Shop).

I remembered that I had these fun Sizzix dies for the pumpkin 

and the faces that seemed so perfect to go along with this sentiment.  

The papers are from my older stash. Kind of an eclectic mix

of patterns that I used on this card - not sure I'm in love with it, 

but it's done now so I guess it will have to grow on me :o).

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Clear it Out Challenges: Theme and Stash are both Anything Goes
