Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Komeback and a Challenge

Hello my crafty peeps! Thanks for popping in to visit my blog today.

Today is World Card Making Day! What a great way to start a new month!

As  you can see by the graphic above,  Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 

will be celebrating this awesome occasion with some live 

videos, tutorials, a special challenge AND a SALE!! 

I hope that you will join us in the 

Krafty Friends Facebook Group for the fun. 

The challenge theme  for this week is GIRLY AND SPARKLY!

And this theme is absolutely perfect for this week 

because...... we are also announcing a Krafty Komeback

that is awesome for the upcoming Christmas Season!

A Krafty Komeback is a previously loved and retired stamp 

set that has been returned from the vault in the fantastic

clear photopolymer stamp format. 

You might remember this one from 2012 (wow!) 

it's called CHRISTMAS IS LOVE! 

Isn't it AWESOME?1 I was so excited because I missed 

out on it previously - and I LOVE it!

Here's my Girly and Sparkly card using one of the stamps

The look on her face is priceless - lol!

I hope that you'll join our challenge and 

a couple of the special events that will be happening

in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group too!

There is a monthly prize of $25 to spend in the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Shop for participating in the 

challenges (you can enter on the blog or in the

Facebook Group albums section).  Each and every

new creation you share for the challenges counts

as an entry.  When you use KKS products your

entry counts as double!  Wanna Win - then come play!

OH and before I go...I mentioned a SALE above.

This is only good through the weekend - 30% OFF

a large selection of Fall, Halloween and Christmas

stamp sets, some stencils and krafty dots!

But only while supplies last and the SALE ends

on Sunday evening. So don't delay if you see 

something you must have!  Happy shopping!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #545 - PURPLE!

Happy happy weekend! I hope it's a good one for you.

It's time for another weekly theme challenge at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Challenge #545 is PURPLE!

Use a lot or a little - just make sure we can 

see some of the color purple on your creation. 

I LOVE the color purple but for some reason 

it's not the first color I reach for.  

As I started thinking of ideas all of a 

sudden lots and lots of them flooded my brain.

So....I might be using purple more often!

Have you seen the NEW Gorgeous Gauze stencil?

I am a little bit obsessed with this stencil and used

it for the background on my card.

That lovely gal is from the stamp sets Trendy Tees

and Trendy Tees Icons ("BFF"). 

This card is going to my BFF named Karen

(who by the way loves Purple).

The Purple Petunia KKS hybrid ink worked 

perfectly for the tone on tone look. 

 I added some of my favorite embellishments -

the Krafty Dots.  I'd love to tell you which ones

I used but I have so many of them and I lost track

of labeling them (oops).  But...you can find 

lots of of them in the KKS Shop while you are

shopping the Frugal Friday Specials - wink wink!

Please come play along with our  PURPLE

challenge this week.  We love to see what you make with 

the KKS goodies you purchase. And don't forget

that your creations often inspire us too!! 

Every month Kimmie selects a random winner 

from all the weekly challenges (a $25 gift code to use

in the KKS Shop).  If you wanna win you gotta play! 

Thanks for stopping in to visit! Hugs! D

Fairy Princess Emma (Paper Nest Dolls)

Well hello lovelies so happy you are here to visit me! 

  I think that was the fastest January on record in 

all of my 50+ years on this earth!  Whoosh... suddenly

it's "Welcome to February"  LOL! 

I've been taking kind of a crafting and blogging break lately.

I've managed to do a little coloring here and there for

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge 

but haven't been able to get a creation finished due to 

lack of time, energy and MOJO (sad face). 

BUT...I recently won a really awesome prize package

from Christine Young of Paper Nest Dolls that included

some awesome Echo Park papers, a Wink of Stella pen

and enamel dots (as well as a couple stamp/die sets)

and this beautiful digital image called 

Fairy Princess Emma.  After coloring her up the other

night for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, I found

myself in my craft room today actually finishing a project!! 

So Excited! It sure did feel good to get crafty again!

Thanks so much Christine (big puffy heart)!

Here's my finished card - hope you like it!

My layout design is from Sketch Saturday #500 

They are having very special celebration for the

500th Sketch at Sketch Saturday and 

The Paper Nest Dolls is one of the very 

generous sponsors offering a prize of 3 digital images

(like Princess Emma!!)
