It's Movie Time!

Sorry for my long absence, I've had a lot going on in my life...and things have been a little crazy.

Before I get into that, here is the first card I have made since my life got flipped around. 

I used the super cute new Movie Time image from Chi Chi Memories.

I paired my image with some paper from the Echo Park paper pad, For The Record. I used Wild Cherry, Black Licorice, and Sweet Tooth cardstock. I embellished with Michael's brads, spiral clips, some black stitched ribbon, and the MFT Mini Film Strip Die-namics. 

Well, that is it for me for now....maybe I will share my story another day. For now, just enjoy my card, and I hope to see you all around soon!! Have a great day!

You Float My Boat

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday challenge and we hope you can play along!!  As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!  Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

I am running super late with today's post, but I left my laptop at work, and was just now able to get to this...kids, don't try this at home!

For my card today, I used the super cute, and my new favorite Cheryl set, "Ahoy, Sailor". I stamped my image on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Bubblegum, Orange Fizz, and Berrylicious cardstock. My paper is from the MME My Girl paper pad, and I used spiral clips and brads as my accents.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog to see what my fellow teammates have been up to, and to play along! Have a Krafty Day!!

June Hop-The Cat's Pajamas

It's finally release day at the Cat's Pajamas, and to celebrate we have an amazing new release hop for you to enjoy!! If you are just now getting started, be sure to head to Lisa's blog to get started, or the Cat's Pajama's blog.

If you are here now, you should have come from Wendy's fantabulous blog!!

I decided to play around with two different sets tonight, and I have been a bit under the weather, so I went a little CAS, I hope you don't mind.:) My first card uses the knew Life is Like Ice Cream set. I stamped in on X-Press It blending card and then colored it with my Copics. I used some buttons from MFT in Electric Red, Orange Fizz, Bubblegum, Sour Apple, and Grape Jelly to accent it, and finished it off with a bow using May Arts ribbon. 

For my second project, I decided to make a bookmark...mostly because I need a bookmark, and they are simple, yet beautiful. I used the GORGEOUS new Simple Blooms set, and stamped it on Sweet Tooth with Berrylicious ink from MFT. My sentiment was then stamped with Kraft ink. I used Kraft and Berrylicious cardstock. I used some Kraft grosgrain for my tie at the top, and used the Butterflies CutUps for my butterfly accents. To finish, I did some piercing, and added some brads.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to get shopping, but for now, continue hopping and check out what my fellow design team members have created for you to enjoy.

Next stop, Chris' blog!!

Tonight's set is called Aye, Eye, I and I think you're going to love it!

I kind of love this set....lots and lots. I love the way you can combine the sentiments together to make so many interesting combinations. I used a Simple Stories paper pad, and paired it with Hot Fudge, Kraft, Orange Fizz, and Brick Red cardstock.
