to have it!  But it has been sitting in my
"waiting to be inked" stash (very sad) for several
months until now.  I also had these really
pretty papers from the

in my stash as well.  I'm so excited to have
made this card and to have checked two items off
my crafty New Year's resolution :o)

Hello sweet friends and followers! 

It's Saturday and time for another fun

challenge theme for you at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

This week we would like to see you use

Non-Traditional Christmas Colors.

My favorite non-traditional color for

Christmas creations is pink.  

What do you like to use instead of 

the traditional red and green?  

This sweet little elf is from the adorable set

called Treat Yours-Elf.  The pretty plaid papers

are from Lawn Fawn.  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenges - W is for Wishes 

(use the word Wish or Wishes on your creation)

The Brown Sugar Challenges #224 - Anything Goes

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

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today! 

I hope that you will decide to join us this week 

with your own card, scrapbook page or altered item 

using NON-Traditional Colors  and a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp 

or any other stamp as a starting point for your creation! 

 You will have until November 18th at 11:55 pm EST to get your entries in!

Til next time friends...Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - Wonderful Wednesday Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday sweet friends and followers!

Pat yourself on the back because you have now

made it to mid work week and are now on the 

down hill slide to the weekend - whoo hoo!  

It's time for another Wonderful Wednesday

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

The theme on Wonderful Wednesday is 

ALWAYS Anything Goes (except release week).

 I'm playing with one of my favorite NEW

stamp sets that was just released this weekend 

called Harvest Blessings (by artist Becky Pearce)

Such a fun and adorable set! 

I LOVE anything to do with pumpkins -

the color, the shape, the way they symbolize

fall and Thanksgiving. Oh and of course

pumpkin beer, bread, pie, muffins, lattes... :o) 

I'm really trying to take better photos.  It always seems as if

something is off a bit though.  If it's not the lighting, it's the 

angle or in this case the camera focused on the wrong part

of the card and the main image isn't as crisp as I would have 

liked.  Oh well, by the time I got home and discovered it 

wasn't perfect it was too dark out to try another photo.

So...I'm embracing this as it is.  And I hope you like it! 

My design comes from the great sketch at 

MOJO Monday #461 which I varied just a bit

I'm also entering the following challenges:

613 Avenue Create #188 - anything goes

Addicted to Stamps and More #207 - Make Your Mark

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #123 - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion Challenges #325 - Always Anything Goes

I hope you will join us this week!

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 August 23rd at midnight! 

 At the end of the month one random winner will be 

chosen from all the submissions for the whole month 

and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! 

 What do you think.....wanna WIN?? Let's see your krafty stuff!!

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!

Til next time...hugs and happy kraftin'! D

Catch the Bug Challenges - June Anything Goes

Hello friends and followers!
Wow! How is it even possible that it's the first

weekend of June?  Seriously it just floors me!

Sometimes I have to giggle at myself because I hear

my grandma's voice coming out of my mouth 

as I talk about how fast time flies - but it really

does seem to lately :o)  And...she was a really
sweet and wonderful lady so I don't mind
sounding like her at all!

So...it's time for another weekly challenge
at CATCH THE BUG CHALLENGES
and the theme is ANYTHING GOES.

I made a tall and skinny card (3.75" x 6 1/2")
using cupcake tray (colored w/copics)

To make this card size you need a cardstock base 

sized 6 1/2 " x 7 1/2" and score at 3 3/4" on the longest side.

The layout is based on the current sketch  

 at MOJO Monday 450 

I'd also like to enter these challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More #196 - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #280 - Anything Goes

(Sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps)

I hope you find some time to get crafty this weekend and
play along with us at Catch the Bug Challenges.
Thanks so much for popping in today.
Til next time...hugs and happy crafting! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday Challenge - Mermaid Friends & Oceans of Love

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and followers!

I'm not sure if I think this week is going by slowly or too fast.

 Too fast for all the crafty projects I want to get done

and too slow for the weekend to be here - LOL.

But here's the best news about today...it's time

for another fun Wonderful Wednesday challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!!  

The theme as it always is for the Wednesday challenges

is ANYTHING GOES!  Who doesn't like that right?!

You can make any type of project with any theme 

and use any stamp or crafty medium you wish.

Just have fun with it and share it with us for an 

opportunity to win some Krafty $ to spend in the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store - whoo hoo!!

My card today uses one of the brand newest 

stamps from the beautiful MERMAID FRIENDS

and a sentiment from OCEANS OF LOVE (currently

sold out but will be back soon) - take a look:

I've been seeing the use of vellum a lot lately so I thought

I'd pull some out of my stash and play with it at bit

Those waves are actually the puffy cloud border dies from

Your Next Stamp.  I think it turned out kind of fun ;o).

I used the sketch from MOJO Monday #449 this week

(as you can see I flipped the orientation of it though)

for the layout.  I also wanted to play along with 

the current challenge at 613 Avenue Create #177

which is Anything Goes w/optional twist of  

Create your Own Challenge Series.  I used

the A2 Card type, Thinking of you as the event, and 

gold/metallic and sequins for the trends part of the challenge.

I would also like to enter this in these challenges too:

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenges #109 - Just Us Girls

goes by as fast or as slow as you like it to :o)

Til next time...krafty hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #322 - SPRING

Happy weekend crafty peeps!

Don't you love Saturdays?  I sure do!

and...it's the start of a new weekly challenge at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES!

This week the theme is SPRING.

Oh yes please I say - even if it means rain.

flowers poking up out of the ground to show their faces.

I am sharing a card today that I made using the 

NEW & ADORABLE clear stamp set  called

"You are My Sunshine"  which is currently 

only available as part of the limited edition

Spring Krafty Kard Kit.  Take a look:

chick sitting in the boots.  Don't you agree -Adorable?!

MOJO Monday #436 - "You Are My Sunshine" Kraftin' Kimmie Spring Kard Kit

Hello krafty peeps!  

Here it is almost the end of February already. Wow!

I wonder how many of us will struggle with writing the

date tomorrow as it's only every 4 years when we have

a February 29th.  Today is my nephew's birthday.

Good thing he came when he did or he'd only be 

5 years old instead of 20 - LOL!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made

from some of the papers and embellishments from 

the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps limited edition

Spring Kard Kit which features this adorable

NEW clear stamp set called "You Are My Sunshine".

My Time to Craft #305 - Alice in Wonderland

Hello sweet crafting friends!

Here it is the last weekend of September already - my how time flies!

I'm really relishing the fall weather - my favorite time of year. 

The challenge this next two weeks at MY TIME TO CRAFT

is Inspired by Alice in Wonderland.  

My card today features that little white rabbit that is always

running around saying 'I'm late...I'm late!"  My friends and

family know that I can definitely identify with that statement - LOL!

I kept it pretty simple this week and didn't add any embellishments

as I really was late in getting my card done this week.  Let's just

say it was one of the craziest weeks I've had in a while and I 

am totally exhausted!  Thankfully with such a darling image 

(from Bugaboo Stamps) and a great sketch (from MOJO Monday #418)

it's easy to get it together rather quickly.  

I'd also like to enter this in 

613 Avenue Create Challenge #142 - Anything Goes

own creation in our gallery this time too!

My Time to Craft Challenge #304 - Owls

Happy Saturday lovelies!

I'm sharing my DT card today for the

newest challenge at MY TIME TO CRAFT.

Wow! You loved our last challenge theme of flowers

with over 100 entries! Let's see if you like this one as much!

The theme for MTTC Challenge #304 is Owls.  Very popular and on 

trend right now.  I found an image by Bugaboo Stamps that now only

meets this theme but also shows my love of coffee.

Take a look:

Hahahaha - that's how I look in the morning sometime

before my first 2 cups of joe!  I used the sketch from 

MOJO Monday #414 for my layout. 

I'd also like to enter this at Papertake Weekly for "Things with Wings".

Thanks so much for visiting me today! The rest of my lovely teammates

have also made some wonderful OWL inspired creations.  Please go

Today is Wednesday so you know what that means don't ya??

(besides being half way through most of your normal work weeks)

It's time for another Wonderful Wednesday Challenge 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

As always....the theme is ANYTHING GOES!!

I'm still playing with one of the NEW June stamp sets 

called "Let's Roll Dude!"  Love this fun masculine set - take a look:

I bought this great tool that cuts the shanks (backs) off of plastic
buttons. Oh My Gosh...what a fabulous tool!! I have always struggled
with how to put those types of buttons on my creations and have it lay
right and not require extra special postage/packaging to send it
because of the bulk.  I'm so excited to be able to use FUN buttons
like this now ( "Tool Time" buttons are in the KK Store)!
These great  "guy" papers (and coordinating enamel dots)  are from the 

Echo Park 6x6 paper pad called "Jack and Jill -Boy" (also from KK Store).

MOJO Monday #400

Hello friends and followers - so happy you are here to visit me today!

I mentioned a few posts back that I have several graduation cards to make

for family and friends.  I used the MOJO Monday #400 sketch this week

to help me get one of my cards done - take a look:

I love how quickly this card came together (bonus)!

I printed off a digital stamp from Stampin' Up and used

an oval die cut for the shape (cutting off the overhang on the bottom).

I had scraps of left over paper from 3 years ago with the felt mortar

boards (graduation caps) that I snipped out as an additional embellishment

and added a few candy dots.  Viola - done! Well... except for the gift :o)

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges as well:

Alphabet Challenge Blog - "H" is for Hats and/or Handbags

Clear it Out Challenges: Theme/Anything Goes and Stash/You Choose

(my stash is the cap from the paper scraps and the candy dots)

The Crafter's Cafe - #119: School's Out/Graduation

So off I go to enjoy my weekend and do a little more crafting!

Still have 4 cards to finish for the parties we are going to over the next week.

Better get busy! Til next time...hugs and happy crafting! D

My Time to Craft #280 - Lace {I Hope You Dance}

Hello sweet friends and followers.

I'm here today to share my DT card for 

My Time to Craft #280 - Lace.

I just happened to have a little lace laying around in my ribbon box
(ahem...a little might really be a lot - just saying) so I was
thrilled with this week's theme to be able to use some of it :o).
The sentiment is from a brand NEW Release from Kraftin' Kimmie
called "Hello, Friend" - I just LOVE this saying!
It's a good reminder to embrace those opportunities
for happiness and to try new things.

I used the sketch from MOJO Monday #385


I'm also entering this card in these challenges:

Oh Christmas Tree...MTTC272

Hello friends and followers, 

and a special hello to my newest follower Linda.

Today I have a card to share with you
for the last challenge of 2014 at My Time to Craft (MTTC).
Then we will take a small break and be back for the new year.
MTTC #272 is "Christmas Tree".
We'd like to see your beautiful creations
with the focus on a Christmas tree.

Here's my DT card:

This year my Christmas tree has a bunch of
large burlap poinsettias in tan and sparkly red
and sprigs of berries poked through the branches
here and there.  Only a few rustic ornaments
(reindeer and and owl at the top).  My daughter and I love it.
But...my son came home for Christmas break
and said "Hey, where are all of our handmade
ornaments?" "This isn't very fun and festive".
Oh brother! Guess you can't please 'em all :o)

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
 MOJO Monday Sketch #376

and

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenges - December

My lovely DT pals at MTTC have also made some

gorgeous Christmas Tree creations to share with you.

Please go visit them as well and then I hope 

you decide to make one more card to share with

us this year.  

Til next time friends...hugs and merry crafting! D

MTTC #267 - Christmas Decoupage

Hello sweet friends and followers, so happy you're here to visit.

Time for another weekly challenge over at My Time to Craft (MTTC)

MTTC #267 is Christmas Decoupage.

It can be traditional or stamped decoupage.

If you're like me you just said "what the heck is that?".
I had only heard of the version where you glue
paper onto wood with a glossy finish over the top
(that was ages ago when I was a little girl).
Here's a definition of this process that I found:

Decoupage—from the French word découper, meaning to cut out—

is a craft or art form that entails pasting cut-outs (typically paper) to an object 

and then covering with several coats of lacquer or varnish.  

The process gives flat cut-outs the appearance of depth. 

I really wasn't sure how that would work with card making.
But as luck would have it, I was perusing through
a local craft store last weekend and came upon
a Papercrafting magazine that was offering a free decoupage
set and flocking with purchase.  Score!!
It even had instruction as to how to layer the paper images.
Happy dancing - that was me :o)

So...here's what I made using one of the freebie decoupage images
for my DT card for MTTC 267 - Christmas Decoupage

It was really kind of fun to do! There are 5 different layers on this image -
that last one being the arm that is holding the package.
Can you see the spots of flocking that I added as well?
All kinds of new stuff going on here for me :o)

If you haven't tried this technique yet it would be a great
opportunity to do so and enter the challenge at MTTC.
My lovely and talented DT pals have made some really
gorgeous Christmas decoupage creations to share with you
as well. Please go visit them and be inspired!

I am entering the following challenges:

MOJO Monday 371

Happy Halloween from Zephyr McBroom

Happy Friday all!

I have a fun Halloween card to share with you that I made for the
Kit and Clowder Colouring Competition
(in the Kit and Clowder Facebook Group)
Zephyr McBroom by Rick St Dennis.

Here's my card:

I really had to resist the temptation to color her face

in normal skin tones - was afraid I wouldn't get the shading 

to look right. But I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Sure glad I've taken some of Alyce's colouring classes!

Even though I haven't gotten through all the lessons I feel so 

much more comfortable with my colouring skills.

This image brings back fun memories for me because I 

always wanted to be a "pretty" witch for Halloween.

(Mostly so I could wear lots of makeup and a black wig - LOL). 

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

52CCT - September 2014 Color Challenge {Warm Winter Wishes}

Hello dear friends and followers - happy weekend!

This 2nd week of September our hostess at 52CCT, Asha,

has chosen a terrific COLOR Challenge

To help you interpret this chart we want you to use

Red  OR  Blue  +  Black  AND  White  +  Silver  OR  Gold.

You may use various shades of Red (such as burgundy, poppy, crimson, scarlet, excluding pink) OR Blue (royal blue, sky blue, cornflower blue, navy excluding purple).

We have a fabulous sponsor this week again - Deedee's Digis - 
and some of the team will be using digi images on their cards.


I chose to use Red, Black and White and Gold
with one of Deedee's darling images called "Snowman Tags".
Take a look:

I did something that I seldom do...

hand wrote my sentiment. 

Hmmm...not too sure about that part, but it's done so I'll be okay with it.

Thankfully I'm happy with how the rest of the card turned out :o)

I'm entering the following challenges with my card:

MOJO Monday #362 (sketch)

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Sept. Anything Goes

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge Choose R or E or D

(My R is the color red, E for embossing and D for die (heart))

The rest of the lovely ladies on the 52CCT DT  have made some wonderful 

Christmas creations using Asha's color challenge.  I hope that you will go 

visit them to see what they've done and then decide

to link up your own beautiful creation. 

Thanks so much for visiting me today!
Til next time...hugs and merry crafting! D
