Kraftin' Kimmie May Peeks Day Two

Hey everyone!!  Welcome back to day TWO of our  May Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!!  Have you been enjoying the peeks so far??  We've got more beauties for you today! 

 Now, no one likes to have to make a sympathy card but as cardmakers, it something we all must do.  And having some beautiful designs in our stash to let people know that we are thinking of them during those difficult times is so important.  That's what today's preview is all about.  We are so happy to share the newest set of elegant sentiments by artist BECKY PEARCE and it is called SINCERE SYMPATHY!!  This set includes EIGHT lovely sentiments and you'll see them all as you hop around the blogs today!

Oh, if I could explain to you how much I love this set in words, well....I can't, so I won't even try. It's perfect. It says all the right things, when words just aren't enough. Times get tough, and people need support even if they don't want it, or think that they do....even me, sadly to say....but be brave, I am there for you. That is the perfect sentiment for that person in your life that is fighting a battle and just needs a little extra encouragement. 

 Are you planning to join us for our  LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!!  Hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes Saturday night beginning at 6pm EST!!  Hope you can come hang out with the me and Krafty Girls!

All the Krafty Girls and Guests listed below have lots of beautiful designs to show you featuring these gorgeous new stamps from Becky!  And while you're hopping around, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away a gift card!!!  You could WIN some Krafty $$$ to spend at the shop!!!! {This winner will be announced at the party on Saturday!}

Happy hoppin'!

TCP290-Sketch-You Did It!

For my card today, I used the super cute Jump For Joy set. It was paired with the sketch, and some yummy MME paper. I decided to go with a more masculine theme, so I kept this one pretty simple and tried not to over embellish it...which was hard for me. lol

I used a couple of spiral clips and brads, and added some Berrylicious ribbon from MFT to the top of my tag. My cardstock is Nightshift Blue, Berrylicious, and Steel Grey from MFT, Banana Split from Bazzill, and White from Michaels.
