Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #473 - Use Sequins

Hello friends!  Happy weekend!  

Hope you have some fun plans - or maybe some great relaxing ahead.

This week the theme challenge for

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES #473 is SEQUINS.

I must admit that this was really a challenge for me.

Even though I ooh and ahh when I see people using sequins

on (or in) their creations, I really struggle with them.

I don't know how to place them and it really kind of

bugs me how they stick to my finger and don't go where I

want them to easily.  LOL real problems right?!  

Anyway...because I wanted another opportunity to create with the 

NEW Fawn'd of You stamp set (by artist Cheryl Grant)

I decided to accept this challenge.   I'm quite pleased with

how it turned out!  Take a look:

Easter is coming up soon and this set is so

perfect for that or just a general spring "hello"

card for someone you love.  I had this die cut panel

in my stash (from forever ago) that worked so

pretty over the top of a piece of yellow gingham 

patterned paper.  Lots of layers but still a fairly 

clean design. And what a fun sentiment too!

In addition to the KKS Challenge #473 - Sequins
I'm also entering this card in these great challenges:
Cardz  Galz Challenge #92 March Hares (or Rabbits)
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #574 Spring Fever!
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - CUTE
If You Gave a Crafter a Cookie - Challenge #113
(inspired by the flowers and springy theme of the cookies)

I hope that you'll decide to play along with us this week.

Every time you enter one of the KKS challenges your

entry is put in the pot to win a $40 gift certificate

(drawn after the close of each month).  There's no 

limit to how many times you can play along - but

you do need to submit a new creation (not previously published 

or shared).  We love to see what you make - especially

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products.  

Thanks for visiting me today.  Hugs! 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 

{PIN}spirational Challenges #166 - Anything goes

Hope you will consider joining us this week at KKS.

There are some more lovely creations from my 

sweet and talented Krafty Girls teammates -

go check them out too.  You'll be glad you did!

So that's it for me today. I'm sure glad you stopped 

in to visit me!  Hope your Wednesday is great and it

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

Til next time...krafty hugs! D
