Kraftin' Kimmie December NEW Release Peek Day ONE - Love Chemistry

Oh my goodness the December NEW Release peeks are starting today
at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

Day ONE features a spec-tacular new CLEAR stamp set by artist, Becky Pearce.
It's called LOVE CHEMISTRY. This set has eye glasses, beakers, adorable faces
and more plus four adorable coordinating sentiments for a total of 15 stamps!

I've been so excited to share this new stamp set!  I know you are
gonna love them as much as I do.  So many wonderful ways

this stamp set can be used. You'll see what I mean after you go
visit the other Krafty Girls today too (see links below)!! 

Here's my card today (I made my own background - EEEEK!)

I stamped the background using one of the stamps and then 

embossed in white.  Next I sponged red ink all over the panel and

wiped off the excess ink from the embossed parts.   Love how it turned out! 

Below you will find links to the blogs of all the Krafty Girls and Guests

 who have goodies to show you today.  While you're visiting their blogs 

be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper

 from all the comments this week is going to WIN some $$ 

to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop! Whoo Hoo!

ALL of the clear DECEMBER stamp sets will be available on Sunday

 afternoon at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop! Be sure to join us for an hour

 of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Sunday afternoon
