Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #328 - Use 3 Die Cuts (and/or punches)

Hello krafty friends and followers!

Happy weekend - whoop whoop!

It's time for another fun weekly challenge 

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE and this week

the theme is to use 3 Die Cuts (or punches).

FUN right?!  I love to use both of those things

on my cards and let's just say that my Big Shot 

gets lots and lots of use :o). 

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday,

 each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month

 long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during 

that 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 is April's sketch.

and here's my card to share with you today using 

one of the adorably sweet little stamps and 

a cheeky sentiment from the NEW clear stamp

set called WHIMSICAL GNOMES.  LOVE this sweet set:

 I liked the pattern of this paper so much I thought it

would be fun to give this little lass a paper pieced dress.

I used a scalloped circle die, a circle die & a sunburst die

on my card today.  The banners were hand snipped. 

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

Sweet 16 Birthday Card {Unity Stamp Co.}

Hello and happy weekend to everyone!

Yesterday was my daughter's 16th birthday.

She definitely embodies the description of 

"SWEET" 16.  She is the most beautiful young

woman and a kind, loving and respectful daughter.

I wanted to make a card that represented both

her current beauty and the fact that she is 

still evolving each day into the amazing

woman I know she will be.  

Here is the card I made for her. 

The stamp set is called Faceless Beauty
by Unity Stamp Co.  I felt it so perfectly
fit for Brooklyn's card. I love the faceless portion
of this image as it represents what is yet to be in 

terms of who she will become.  

Take a look won't you?

 My girlie teared up and said that it was THE most

beautiful card I had ever made her and

it was her favorite of all I had given her.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Unity Stamps {Show & Tell} fb group 4/21 - 28 

where the theme is to use any Unity Girl.
The Corrosive Challenge Blog -April #4 Girls, Ladies,Women
Crazy 4 Challenges #333 (C4C333) - Use flowers

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps: April Krafty Scrappin' Challenges - Anything Goes

Happy Tuesday krafty peeps!

Last night I got a Facebook message from Tangii 

reminding me that I had signed up for this month's 

Krafty Scrappy Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie.  

OH SHOOT and SUGAR BRITCHES!!

I had been so busy with everything else (including 

my tax returns) that I had totally spaced it!  

So I quickly opened my planner page to this week

(which by the way was still completely blank with the 

exception of one Blog post reminder for yesterday)

and grabbed some of my KRAFTIN' KIMMIE stamp sets

and went to town laying out my week in style.  

My husband walked by as I was finishing it up

and said "Wow, that some fancy planning you're doing".

LOL - I think that meant he thought it was cool??!

Although unplanned (haha get it - I worked on my planner?)

I'm so glad I got it together because now my weekly 

schedule will be much more fun and enjoyable as

I look at my calendar.  Well...enough yappin' from me 

here's my two pages for this week

I used the following awesome clear stamp sets:

Perfect Planner! 

Snail Mail (NEW this month)

Whimsical Gnomes (NEW this month)

 I apologize for the bad photos it was night as

I was taking them and I did the best I could

(that's what happens when you are late with stuff!).

I hope you will decide to play along with us this month.

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! 

 Come play along with us each month and let's get some of those photo's 

out of boxes and on to something creative and fun!! 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, May 23rd @ 12:00 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 over your work too!

Thanks for visiting me today! Have a wonderful day! 

Catch the Bug Challenges - Anything but a Card Monday

Happy Monday crafty peeps!

Did you get  your taxes done?

I was up until 2 am working on ours - ugh!

Thus the late post today - I totally spaced updating

my blog for the ANYTHING BUT A CARD

project at CATCH THE BUG CHALLENGES.

We have a couple graduations coming up in our

family so I decided to make a tag and a little 

pillow gift box that's perfect for tucking 

some cash for the graduate in.  

I've used Ava grad diploma on the tag

The best part about this project today is that

it uses up lots of bits and parts of things from my

stash - love when that happens!  

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create #172 - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Let's do the Polka

I'll be drinking lots of coffee today to

stay awake and focused.

Here's my card for today's peek

I stamped the image first and then created a mask of it so

I could sponge distress inks on the panel for the beach scene.

The sun is a reverse die cut that I sponged inside and then used

the die cut as a mask over the top of the sponged image so I

could add the rest of the sky and clouds to the background.  

The clouds I masked first and then sponged around those.  I had 

a lot of fun creating this card and decided to keep the embellishments

off so that the scene was the star of the card :o).  I was going for a 

pending sunset scene - hopefully that's what it looks like to you!

What will you make this week for the anything goes challenge?

sometimes called SNAIL MAIL - but it's lots more special.

you will absolutely want in your collection!! It's an adorable new set
by artist, Cheryl Grant called SNAIL MAIL!

 some mail plus three sweet little animals and a mailbox! PLUS there
are SIX sentiments for a total of TWELVE awesome stamps in the set!
Take a peek:

I KNOW that I'll be using this set a ton!! Just absolutely
adore it and there are so many ways I'll be able to use it too!

little snail came from??!  You might find out tomorrow
in the DAY TWO sneak peeks (wink wink)!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #326 PINK! {Fairy Loved} - Happy birthday to me!!

Hello friends!

Happy Weekend to you!
Do you have any special plans?
Today is my 51st birthday so I'm going to do
whatever I want - LOL!
I was at the physical therapist office yesterday
and had to fill out new paperwork. Why is it that your
body starts to fall apart after 40?  Anyway...one of the questions
was my age.  As I wrote 50 down I realized that that would
probably be the last time I would write that age.
Somehow 51 seems a lot older to me today than
50 did yesterday - but I shall still celebrate that because
I'm above ground and healthy (for the most part) and have
lots of friends and family in my life that I love so much!

Okay enough about age... that gets to be an OLD subject (haha)
let's get to my DT card today for the new weekly challenge
at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE Challenges.
This week's challenge is a color challenge
and the color is PINK!!

Well...that one is right up my alley as it is my very
favorite color and one I love to use on my cards.
So I quickly inked up the most adorable little stamp
from last month's new release called "Fairy Loved"
and made this sweet little card - take a look:
(Psst...there's a special sale going on "While Kimmie's
Away" and you could snag this adorable stamp set for
20% off this weekend.  But Shhhh....it's a secret wink wink).

How's that for lots of pink??? I love Doodlebug papers

and have quite a large stash of them.  I can always find

a way to use these papers it seems.  I'm not sure if you can 

see the glitter on her wings (wink of Stella) but it

is really sweet IRL.  Doesn't that kitty look content? 

I used the April sketch at Kraftin Kimmie as my design

inspiration (just flipped it a bit and used a square instead of circle).  

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday,
each month KK Challenges include a special sketch.
The sketch will last all month long and if you use it
in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that 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!

Have you seen Kimmie's latest BRILLIANT idea?!?!? 
It's a SURPRISE KRAFTY GUEST KIT!  
Click on over and read all of the yummy, fabulous deets 
and then get your order in!!  Pre-order deadline is April 15th!  

And it's just 4 more sleeps until the April peeks start!  
I don't want to give away too much but I can 
promise you that it's another fabulous release
and I think you are gonna love all the new stamp sets!!

I'd like to enter my card above in the following challenges:
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #272 - Anything Goes

And then...please link up your own fabulous creation
