Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #559 - Red & Green OR Purple & Blue

Welcome to my blog on this last Saturday of November 2020.
Does that sound as odd to read as it did for me to type?!

Saturday always brings a new weekly theme challenge

Our hostess this week is krafty gal Allison and she has
chosen a fun color combo theme for you. 
Challenge #559 is to Use EITHER 
Red & Green OR Purple and Blue. 

For my DT card I went with the Red & Green combo
and used the super CUUUUTE BELIEVE IN YOUR ELF
clear stamp set (colored with copic markers).

I so adore the look on this mischievous elf's face.
And the reindeer seems to be thinking "oh boy we're 
in for some ride" LOL.  This image is as fun to color
as it is to use on Christmas cards!  The photo 
doesn't show it very well but there's red foil 
cardstock around the base and on the word die. 

If you have been doing some Black Friday shopping 
you can also take advantage of a super sized 
FRUGAL FRIDAY in the KKS Shop.  LOTS 
and LOTS of great bargains for  you.  
Here's a link to help you get there - you're welcome! 


We sure do hope that you'll join us this week and 
enter your own Red & Green OR Purple & Blue
creation.  Maybe you'll make one of each!  You
can enter as many times as you wish - just link up a NEW 
creation each time.  There's a monthly prize of $25
for those who play along.  You might be the lucky
one who has some Krafty $$ to spend on yourself! 

So off I go for now! Hope you are having a great
weekend and enjoying some peace and good health
going into the Christmas month. 
Thanks for stopping by! Cyber hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #556 - Fall or Winter Creations

Hello to all who are popping in to visit me today!
Happy weekend to you - hoping it's a good one!

It's time for another weekly challenge for 
the honor of choosing the theme this week.

For Challenge #556 the theme is...
FALL OR WINTER CARD/CREATION. 

I love Fall and all the beautiful colors, hiking, college football
and of course Thanksgiving.  Winter also though has it's own
sort of beauty and is right around the corner (as is Christmas). 
I just couldn't decide at first which theme I really wanted 
so I'm leaving it up to you as to which one inspires you the most!

Our family will not be having the big turkey day celebration this
year due to COVID so I'm sending out more Thanksgiving cards
than usual to stay in touch.  What awesome time it was to
have the super adorable IT'S TURKEY DAY! stamp released
this year.  I've wanted a stamp set like this for while!
My card today is an easel card.  Here's the front
using a sentiment from Pumpkin Kisses
 and here's the card open

So now it's your turn. What season will you pick?
I can't wait to see your creations in the blog or in
the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group folder. 

You can enter as many times as you want - but each
creation must be a NEW and different creation. 
There is a monthly prize offered and every time you
enter it give you a shot at it.  Using KKS products 
doubles your chances.  Go get Krafty!!! 

Oh and before I go... check out the FRUGAL FRIDAY
specials for this weekend and the ink of the month
(which is my favorite - Salty Sea)!
