Happy Birthday Big Guy

Hi friends! Hope your Monday has been a good one!

A little while ago I colored this awesome stamped image

from SugarPea Designs called "Stay Strong" as part of 

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge

and tonight I got him on a finished card and
can enter it in the challenge now.
 Are you ready to see it?
I'm delighted to share it with you!

I mentioned that I had colored the stamped image earlier.

Then I used the coordinating die to cut him out

and place on this layout.  The background panel was 

created by using the bouncing brayer technique.  

Isn't he handsome? :o)  I knew I had to have this

stamp as soon as I saw it!  

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #29
(where I used both the colors and the sketch)

Kraftin' Kimmie - August Release Peeks Day ONE "Spook-tacular Sentiments"

Hello Sweet friends and followers!

I've been busting at the seams for this month to start

for one very special reason... it's time for us to start the

NEW Release peeks for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

This month is going to be SPOOK-tacular with the new
Fall/Halloween themed stamp sets!
I'm so excited to share these with you - we've got an incredible
week of goodies lined up for you!

Day ONE of the New Release peeks features a BOO-tiful new set

 of awesome large sentiments in beautiful fonts from artist, Becky Pearce. 

 The set is called....SPOOK-TACULAR SENTIMENTS 

and there EIGHT sentiments in the set!! I'm in LOVE with this set!

Here's my Krafty Girl card using a sunburst technique  

and a multi-colored sentiment as the focal point. 

I've had these papers and ribbon in my stash for quite some time.

It's so nice to find the perfect reason to use up some of my stash! 

Here's the inside using another of the sentiments

Don't you agree that these sentiments are Fab-BOO-lous?
