For my card today, I used the Birthday Girl set from the the Rachel Anne Miller line. She was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with my Copics.

Krafty Kardmaking Kit

We've had such wonderful response at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps to our first Krafty Kardmaking Kit, that we thought we do a little follow up HOP about it!! 

As you hop around today you'll be able check out SIX fabulously spooky creations from our Krafty Girls that were ALL made using only ONE KIT!! They of course used their own ink, coloring medium and white paper, but everything else can be found in these fabulous KITS! 

In case you haven't heard, you can find all the info on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog, or in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!!

For my card, I used the Cheryl Alger set You're Boo-tiful!. It is an $8 set, so if you like what you see, you could totally choose this as your add on set, or any other $8 set!!! The only paper I used that wasn't included in the kit was X-Press It blending card for my image, and layer, and I used Copics to color my image and matting.

OH and one last thing......you know we love giving stuff away!! Wanna WIN the September 2013 Krafty Kardmaking Kit??!! All you have to do is submit a creation (could be a card, scrapbook page, altered item) using only the supplies from your August kit and submit it on THIS POST by Friday, September 13th!! Not only that....but if you enter any of our weekly challenges using your Kit supplies, you get an extra entry to WIN!!!

So go ahead and check out the samples from the Krafty Girls listed below and keep in mind, they were all made using only the contents of ONE kit...and of course, their choice of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp! Then head on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop and grab one for yourself!! 

Happy kraftin'!

Life’s a Circus is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 35 stamps and will sell for $24.00. This set will be for sale at 11pmEST on Saturday, August 31st.

I honestly can't say enough things about this set...it truly is ADORABLE!! I love every image it includes, and can't wait to create more with it!!

TSG221-Fur Friends

How this card came to be, well...it started three or four weeks ago. Somewhere between life and migraines I got distracted and forgot all about it...literally...forgot. all. about. it.

So, when I sat down to make a card for this week's challenge, I remembered I already had this card and did the dance of joy a la Balki Bartokomous. Don't judge me, that show was crazy funny.

Anywho, I used Float My Boat, and I just LOVE this image. I forget some of the stamps that I have, and now that I "in theory" have more time to stamp, I need to start using them more. I used several MFT Die-namics: Catch a Wave Border Die-namics, Circle Stax Die-namics, Open Scalloped Doily Duo Dieonamics. My paper is from MME, and I used some red twine and Michael's brads.

This year has seen many changes for me. The end of a relationship, broken hearts, job changes, and my entry back into the wonderful world of dating...you know you envy me. Don't try to deny it. 

SO, if I seem absent, cross your fingers and hope he's worth it or I am making a ton of money. ;)

Love and Stampy Hugs to all of you left reading my blog...I know I'm the worst blogger ever, but I will try...try...to do better.
