Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #359 - Use Ribbon,Lace and/or Twine

Happy weekend friends!
We had such a lovely Thanksgiving
with my parents and my best friend and
her family.  Lots and lots of good food.
great company and lots of of laughs.

It's time for another weekly challenge theme at
and there's an amazing 
BLACK FRIDAY SALE
going on right now!  

Our hostess this week is Marilyn and she has challenged
us to use ribbon, lace and/or twine on our creations.
Although I absolutely adore cards using any one of
these terrific elements I must admit that they are the
 most drastically neglected items from my crafty stash! 

This past week was an absolute blurr
for me. I lost track of what day of the week 
it was due to the holiday and almost forgot that 
I had signed up to share a card with you
for this week's challenge. Yikes!!

Thankfully I had this adorable image colored up
and waiting to be put on a card.  Whew! 

This sweet, smiley elf is from 
GIFT WRAPPING ELF  and guess what...?
She's on SALE this weekend  as part of the
BLACK FRIDAY SALE for only $1.99. 
Holy Smokes! That's a great DEAL!
The sales are good through the weekend. 
But when this stamp is sold out its gone
forever so HURRY if you want it!

I finished the inside quickly too
with a sentiment from Shake It Up!

I'd like to enter my card in these wonderful challenges too:

Do you have some lonely and unused ribbon, lace or twine in your 
crafty stash?!  If so grab that stuff and get busy crafting this 
week so you can play along with us.  

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them 
so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop! 
Show us your stuff!! You have until Dec 2nd at 11:59 pm EST
to get  your creation linked up.   Can't wait to see what you make!

Have you joined the Kraftin Kimmie's Krafty Friends fb group? 
 It's the best place to keep up with all of the goings on 
as well as sharing YOUR creations and getting inspired 
by other Krafty Friends' creations!

Thanks for visiting me today!  Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - Wonderful Wednesday Nov 23rd

Hello and Happy Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping in to visit me today :o)
Wednesdays are always Wonderful at
because the theme is Anything Goes! 

I fell in LOVE with the NEW Eskimo Pals 
stamp set that was just released last week!
So I used it for my DT card to share with you today.

I stamped the image in grey instead of black and then colored
it with my copics.  It's a baby step for me toward the 
no-lines coloring technique that I really admire. 
I also used the November KKS sketch 
but I flipped it on its side

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges;
(use 3 of something - I used 3 enamel dots)

I hope you will find some time this week to get krafty and
enter your own fabulous creation! 
In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, 
each month we 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!

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along 
so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be 
any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, 
a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!  
It must be a NEW creation and you can enter until 
November 29th at midnight (EST)! 
I can't wait to see what you make!

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
