Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - Wonderful Wednesday Nov 29th

Hello friends! Happy last day of November 2016!

Oh my heavens...seriously where has the time gone?

Tomorrow is the first day of December and Christmas 

is right around the corner.  I need to get shopping!

This is also the last Wonderful Wednesday of the month

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

and as always the theme for WW is ANYTHING GOES!

Since I'm behind with my Christmas cards I decided to

make another one to share with you today using the

super adorable and FUN clear stamp set called 

TREAT YOURS-ELF!

I kept it fairly simple but added a few of my favorite 

embellishments - enamel dots.  The layout is from 

the MOJO MONDAY #476 sketch

I'd also like to enter these challenges too:

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

 KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

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:

Addicted to Stamps and More #221 Anything Goes

The Brown Sugar Challenge Blog #226 Anything Goes

Christmas Cards All Year Round - November "Santa and/or Elf"

Hopefully you had a awesome Thanksgiving!

We have a wonderful surprise for you

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE today.

Kimmie has brought back a favorite retired

stamp set but this time it's in clear rubber!!

As many of you know, lots of the KKS rubber stamp sets have
long retired and are not available for purchase anymore.
But Kimmie decided to switch some things up and re-release
a few of your faves in clear! And today we're announcing the first one!

To celebrate the revival of Gilmore Girls coming out this weekend

 we're giving one of our awesome coffee stamp sets a Krafty Komeback!!!

You might remember it...it's called...

COFFEE AND FRIENDS!

This is one of my favorite sets!  I added a sentiment from

another coffee inspired set called One Cup at a Time. 

That pretty paper is from My Mind's Eye "Hello Gorgeous".

Isn't it perfect for two ladies having coffee? 

The set is NOW available in the shop!

ALSO we have our Black Friday SALE going on ALL weekend long
 with many rubber and clear sets on SALE 30-75% OFF while supplies last!

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

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

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;

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges - Trio Tastic

(use 3 of something - I used 3 enamel dots)

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenges #221 "Anything Goes"

TheBrown Sugar Challenge Blog #225 "Anything Goes" 

Craft Your Passion Challenges #339 Always Anything Goes

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!

Who doesn't love cupcakes? And baking with the kiddos?
It was always one of my favorite activities to do with
both of my kids!  My son loved to make cookies with
me and my daughter was crazy about cupcakes.
This set just gives me the warm and fuzzies!!!

I used this month's Kraftin' Kimmie Sketch (I flipped the

orientation of it) as the inspiration for my design 

and some fun Doodlebug Christmas papers.

The set comes with four fun sentiments!
