Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Sabrina van Vloten

 and it's called.....

STORYTELLERS!

This set has amazing and magical friends, sharing their love of reading - with so many fabulous sentiments!! 

Isn’t this just so very magical and fantastic? 

For today’s peek, I used the larger 

book dragon stamp on a CAS card. 

I made the fun background using Mostly Melon 

KKS ink with the 

Breezy Backgrounds stencil and the Confetti stencil. 

Thanks for popping in to visit me! Now go check out STORYTELLERS! and the new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs!

August Krafty Peeks - Day ONE - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our August Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an amazing book and tea lover set

designed by Michelle Houghton,

 and it's called.....

LOST IN A BOOK! 

You'll find lots of book images as well as a sweet teapot and cup and several awesome quotes in this set! 

This set speaks to me! 

Books are a passion of mine! 

Reading is too, but lately I collect more 

books than I actually read! 

This is the first page in my new reading journal. 

I used the new Leafy Mandala stencil and 

paper pieced the beanbag chair on the stamped 

image from Just One More Page. 

Then, I sponged some Mostly Melon ink 

(the special ink of the month) all over the 

page and stamped a pattern with the same 

color using the open book stamp from 

Lost in A Book. 

The terrific sentiment is also from this set. 

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out LOST IN A BOOK! in action in combination with our other

August Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
LEAFY MANDALA

and 

PERFECT PIES

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the August Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, August 19th in the Krafty Friends group! 

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!

Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

December Skrappy Challenge

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! 

As soon as we have at least five people playing along, 

we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize! 

You have until Monday, January 4th to enter and you can submit 

as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN! 

Also be sure to share your designs on the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page 

because we love to see your stuff! 

Do you love to journal?  Maybe you don't love to journal

but you love lists?  I love lists - there's just something so

satisfying about making a list for me. It seems to put

structure around my world if I have something concrete

to look at - especially if I can check things off as "DONE".

Kimmie recently started a journaling group and I've 

really been enjoying taking my list making to the next 

level of memory keeping and some journaling.  

Here's a page I made last night using the super cute

(and brand new) SAVE MY PLACE stamp set.

If this sounds like something that you would like to learn 

more about - here's the link to the 

Krafty Journaling Fun facebook group. 

But for now there's some more inspiration from 

the Krafty Team below. Click the links to be inspired!!

Thanks for stopping by to visit me today!

August Skrappy Challenge

Hello and happy Tuesday! 

Can you believe it's August already?!

Truthfully I'm kind of wondering how the heck

that happened so fast LOL! But I'm not complaining

really as I love the hot days of August and I look

forward to fall being right around the corner. 

Oh but I digress because what I really wanted to share 

with you is that we have a new challenge for you at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.  

At the start of each month it's the SKRAPPY CHALLENGE.

What's this you might ask? 

Well...it's an opportunity for you to 

create and share with us a project that 

is really anything but a card.  

You can make and share a 3D project such as a 

tag, bookmark, box, ornament, or maybe some

ATCs or a scrapbook or planner spread.  

We love to see you use your Kraftin' Kimmie goodies and 

stretch your creative muscles to inspire us and others!

If we get at least 5 people to participate in the challenge this

month there will be a $10 prize to the Krafty Shop offered to

one lucky random winners. You have until August 31st to enter.

I am one of those people that still prefers real books over 

electronic versions.  Something about the weight of the 

book in my hands, the sound of the pages turning and the smell. 

To me that's just heavenly!  And I also hate to turn the corners of

my pages to mark my place and love to use bookmarks! 

So I collect those (kind of like I collect coffee mugs). 

I had this idea to make a book wrap/sleeve with a removable 

bookmark as a fun way to gift or share a book.  

The main image is from GIRL POWER.  The sentiments

scattered around the sleeve are from several other stamp sets

that feature readers, reading or bookworms.  

If you would like to get some more inspiration just pop

on down to the links and go visit some more of the krafty

krew.  We love when you visit us and let us know if you like

our creations!  So say hi while you're visiting!  

And then go get krafty and share w/us in the blog

or in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group.

My card today features MY HAPPY PLACE

by artist Cheryl Grant.  The sentiment is from another
Cheryl designed set called SMARTY PANTS.
 This is one of my favorite stamps 

from this month's release. It just speaks to my
coffee and book lovin' heart. In fact I'm pretty sure
that Cheryl must have based her on my when I
was a younger girl (glasses and all).
