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

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

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

of a real book in my hands.  So I made a couple 

bookmarks with SAVE MY PLACE 

I used a couple of the Dreamy Dots on this one

How could you not smile when opening your book

and finding these cute critters. Is a worm a critter?

Asking for a friend.  LOL.

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 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and I have

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)!
