Saturday Challenges...a couple of them....

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

This week's challenge is to use the color purple, which I did a lot of. 

For my card, I used the new Buds & Blooms set that we just released from Kraftin' Kimmie. I used Grape Jelly and Grapesicle ink and cardstock from MFT, and used a little bit of Kraft...because my GAWD that was a lot of purple. I used a couple MFT Die-namics, and some fun embellishments to create my card. 

My card also uses this week's challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. It's the third Saturday of the month, so we have a sketch this week. Be sure to check out that challenge, and our blog, to play along!!

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!

Wonderful Wednesday-Spread Happiness

Hey there stampers and friends, it's time for another Wonderful Wednesday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!  As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!  Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

Before we get started, the February release is UP in the Krafty Store!!!  Happy Shopping!



Speaking of new release, this card was made with the new Hello Spring set! Now, I know what you are thinking...this was an Anything Goes challenge, so why did she do something that required masking???? It's SO OUT OF CHARACTER, and you would be right. I blame that sentiment, "spread happiness", really. I feel like it forced me to.....I mean, yes, if I saw this cute little guy bopping along with a balloon, it would make me happy for, like, a few seconds, but then I would be overcome with the fact that I did not have a balloon as well. The only way he could TRULY spread happiness is if he had MANY(or three) balloons, so that if he was bopping along, and came across someone(me), he could give me a balloon, and then I too, could be happy.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is how my brain works.....and they wonder why I claim to need adult supervision.

aaaaaannnnddddd, back to your regularly scheduled program...

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and 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 February 23rd at midnight!  At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!!  What do you think.....wanna WIN??  Let's see your krafty stuff!!

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my work! Have a great day!

Today is my first time posting as a challenge team member for the Paper Nest Dolls challenge team, and I am super excited...mostly because I love their SUPER CUTE images!! Also, their challenges are ANYTHING GOES, so what more can you ask for?

I adore this Heart Key image from them, and used it to create this fun Valentine card. I used a sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas to go along with it, and the new Hearts CutUps from there as well. My ribbon is from May Art(gingham) and MFT, and I used and MFT button(Both in Bubblegum), some Michael's brads, a spiral clip, and simple silver heart charm.
