December Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

   Good morning krafty friends! 

It's December, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

I'm sharing some Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)
that I made for a swap recently.  The theme 
was Fall and Thanks or Gratitude.  
There are so many things that I'm both 
grateful and thankful for that it was 
hard to narrow it down. But.. one thing
that really stands out for me is having 
crafty friends who share my love of 
creating (card making, scrapbooking).
This is such a wonderful hobby, but
it's even better when it can be shared 
with friends!  I feel very blessed!
Here are my ATCs using the Krafty Mice 
stamp set and the leaves and one
of the sentiments from another KKS
retired stamp set.  The background was
created with distress inks and I added
some stickles glitter glue to enhance the
sentiment about being glitter glue. 

I hope you enjoyed my creation
today and that you will find some
time to get krafty yourself 
and enter the December challenge.

 For this month's Saturday challenge I'm sharing a card features the "It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas" stamp set. This sweet duo is cuddled and and waiting for Christmas to arrive.

inspired you to go get krafty and join the

designed by Sabrina van Vloten,
 and it's called.....
Sweater Weather!


These sweet animals are enjoying frosty activities and even some hot cocoa! Plus the accessory images are perfect to mix and match! As a bonus, be sure to check out our Build a Snowman stencil below, which has an icy rink sized to fit our friends' pond perfectly!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out Sweater Weather in action in combination with our other new

Wow! These two stencils and the first stamp set 
are absolutely FABULOUS!! 
My first card to share with you today features 
the Ugly Sweater stencil with a sentiment from
the Sweater Weather stamp set. 

I sure don't think these sweaters are ugly! 
Especially when some of the beautiful
KKS hybrid inks are used to create them. 

My second card features two of the 
adorable critters from the 
Sweater Weather! stamp set!

The skating pond stamp was also used
from the set (it's so perfect!). 
The beautiful snowy background 
was made with the Sweet Snowflakes
stencil and some snowtex paste.

I sure hope you enjoyed my peeks today!
I'll be back tomorrow with another
new stamp set to share.
