Wonderful Wednesday-Nerd is the Word

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday challenge and the FIRST one for MARCH!! And as always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!

For my card this week, I used the super cute new Smarty Pants set. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. The paper I used on my card is Simple Stories 24/7, and I used Kraft, Smooth White, Electric Red, and Nighshift Blue cardstock from MFT with it. To embellish, I used some Sweet Tooth grosgrain, Michael's brads, and some buttons from MFT in Lemon Drop, Electric Red, and Nightshift Blue.

Your submission must use at least one Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp but can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until Tuesday, March 11th!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Wonderful Wednesday Share to Win challenge with other challenges, BUT not our regular weekly challenges. This must be a new and different creation than anything you create for our Saturday challenges.

Don't forget....we've got a bunch of new 6x6 paper pads in the shop AND some new limited edition stamps in the Krafty Singles section! Happy shoppin'!!

Guest Designing...HI!!

I was recently asked by the girls at Chi Chi Memories if I would like to do some guest designing for them....I haven't been able to say yes for so long, that it felt awesome being able to say yes!! I love promoting new companies, and playing with other people's artwork...hopefully they won't regret letting me in, lol!!

This set was just released on March 1st, and is called Let's Be Friends-Girl. I printed her out on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Bubblegum, SOur Apple, and Blu Raspberry cardstock. I used some green gingham paper from Jillibean Soup, and added some Fancy Flourish Die-namics in Smooth White cardstock. My ribbon is Sweet Tooth grosgrain, and I used spiral clips to attach it. I finished with some brads, and for my sentiment, I added the hi using an MFT Happy Hellos Die-namics.

Be sure to check out the Chi Chi Memories Blog and Store to see the new releases, and get yours now!!

TCP Tuesday- Go For The Gold

It's time for another TCP Tuesday challenge, and this week's challenge is to "Go For the Gold"....basically use gold, or gold accents on your card. I tend to shy away from gold, so this was a challenge for me.

I decided to go simple, and use the Dots Cutups, along with the Sassy Birthday set for my card. My paper is from an MME paper pad, and I used gold spiral clips and brads, as well as Sweet Tooth grosgrain for my embellishments. My cardstock colors are Black Licorice and Smooth White from MFT.

1. Each Tuesday a new challenge will be posted here on this blog as well as on our Splitcoaststampers forum and ourFacebook page.

For my card today, I used the Together is Better set.

I also added a spiral clip, because that's what I do. :)
