Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello sweet friends - and a special shout out to my newest

follower Patry Ro! Happy to have you along in my creative journey.

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).  

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

MOJO Monday 402 (see sketch below - which I modified

to be a square card instead of a regular A2 size). 

Come and Get it Challenges - For the Guys

The Corrosive Challenge Blog #226 - Pile it On!

Crafting for All Seasons #104 - "It's a Boy Thing"

Crazy 4 Challenges - #290 - masculine

Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge #156 - Masculine theme

Did you know....

 that ALL of the NEW June stamps are live in the Krafty Store?

That KK will be releasing another Limited Edition Krafty Kard Kit soon

 featuring a special stamp by artist, Annie Rodrigue PLUS LOTS of other goodies

 including designer papers from Echo Park, colourful Bazzill cardstocks,

 trim, twine, flowers, and other fun embellishments!  If you want one, 

you'd better snap one up because there are a very limited number available!

Pop on over to the Facebook page (or on the main KK challenge post) for  

more details and information.  

I hope that you will join us this week for Wonderful Wednesday!!

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,

Kraftin' Kimmie JUNE NEW RELEASE Blog Hop!

Hello! Today is the day for the Kraftin' Kimmie

June NEW RELEASE Blog Hop!

Wow...what an awesome new release this month

has been! Hope you've been enjoying all the krafty

inspiration from us Krafty Girls and Guests! 

Do you have a favorite stamp set from this release?

I think mine is Fin-tastic Friends - but I LOVE them all!!

Let's recap...first we showed you the fabulous new mermaid set from
artist Annie Rodrigue called FIN-TASTIC FRIENDS!
Then we brought out the awesome new boy set from artist
 Emilie Goulet called LET'S ROLL, DUDE!  Plus...who can resist the sweet
and magical set from Cheryl Grant called BELIEVE IN FAIRYTALES!
We know these new stamps will inspire you to make your own fabulous creations!

Here's my card to share with you today using another of 

the gorgeous mermaids from FIN-TASTIC FRIENDS.

I did some masking and a whole lot of coloring on this one.
When I was little I used to imagine that there was a whole
underworld area full of mermaids like this.
I still think it would be amazing to find out that
they really do exist (and not completely surprised - lol).

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

Catch the Bug "Oldie but Goodie" Thursday

Hello friends! Happy Thursday!

I'm enjoying my term as a Guest Designer 

for Bugaboo Digi Stamps very much. 

Thursdays are "Oldie But Goodie" days at 

Catch the Bug Challenge blog and today 

I have the opportunity to share a graduation card

that I made for my cousin's daughter using an 

Oldie But Goodie digital image called "Ava grad dipolma".

I chose this image because it reminded me of the graduate

with her long dark hair and sweet face.  Fortunately she

loved it and it has a place of honor on her table for a while :o)

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

The Alphabet Challenges - H is for Hats and/or Handbags
