April Showers Bring Kraftin' Kimmie New Goodies!

Well, we've finally made it to the end of release week, and all the new stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie are now available to be purchased!! Thanks so much for taking the time to follow along and comment this week as we revealed all out wonderful new sets like: Snow White and Cinderella from Annie, Puddle Pals from Emilie, and the set I used today, Rainy Day Lulu from Cheryl Grant!!

As you can see I have used a much more muted color pallette for today's card. I am using this week's color challenge from the Can You Case It challenge to use Sky Blue, Grey, Brown and White. I thought it would make a great combo for a dreary, rainy day scene...and I was right(I think!!)!!

You can check out the CYCI Challenge at our Facebook page!


Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work! Have fun on the hop, and be sure to tell my teammates how much you like their work....they do a great job and deserve all the praise!!

CYCI#137-Colorful Rise&Shine

Hey there loves, it's time for another Can You Case It Challenge! This week's challenge is a fun color challenge....a fun one that found me at google trying to figure out just what exactly Chartreuse REALLY was....cause come on now, I'm from the country.

I used my Rise & Shine set from The Cat's Pajamas....cause it's amazing. I paired it with some cardstock from Bazzill that I thought could pass for the challenge colors, and while they are brighter than the graphic, well, that's how I roll. 

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work! I hope you have had a great weekend, and I hope to see you playing along!

 Til tomorrow, be excellent to each other.

CYCI#135-Back to School Smarty Pants

Hey there party people, and welcome to this week's Can You Case It? Challenge! This week's theme has been on EVERYONE'S minds....it's BACK TO SCHOOL!!

That's right, as our kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, coaches, administrations, and beloved teachers head back to school, we here at Can You Case It? are making cards and projects saluting YOU!

I decided to use the SUPER CUTE Back To School Ellie set from The Paper Nest Dolls. I paired her with some My Mind's Eye School Daze paper from long ago. I'm not going to lie y'all, I have a hoard of paper that rivals probably anyone. It's terrible. So much paper. I colored my ellie in some bright, fun colors to match the crayon scribbles, and added some buttons and ribbons to add some fun. Yes, I know, I button and ribbon the heck out of everything...it's my style, it's my thing. I like, I love it, I can't get enough of it. Sorry, not sorry.

So, have you been playing along with the Can You Case It challenges? If not, we would love to have you!! Either follow one of the links(basically anytime I say the word's CYCI), or click on the challenge graphic to head straight to our blog to get all the info on our wonderful challenge, and to see the work of all of our talented design team!!

Thanks again for stopping by and have a crafty day! XOXOXO

CYCI#134-Pet Challenge

Hey there, and welcome to this week's Can You Case It? Challenge!! This week's challenge is all about PETS!! Now, I personally don't have a pet any longer...sniff sniff, but I used to have the cutest little dog name Sophie, so I decided to put a cute little doggie on my card today!

My image is from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set called Totally Paw-some! I paired him with the Doodlebug Puppy Love paper pad, and I even used the matching Puppy Love Sprinkles that go along with it! I of course had to add some gingham ribbon, brads, and a spiral clip to hold my sentiment on! My balls....hehehehhee, she said balls.....were colored and cut out seperately. 

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you all  joining me and the amazing crew at Can You Case It!!  

You can stop by the CYCI website to get all the details! 

Til next time, have a STAMPY day!!

CYCI#133-Colorful Space Cadet...

Hey there friends, and welcome to this week's Can You Case It challenge!! This week we have a super fun COLOR CHALLENGE for you!! 

The colors we are using are Greens, Yellows, and Neutrals!

At first, I had no clue which way I was going to go with this challenge, and then things just started happening in my brain. I was going to go with flowers, and do something sweet....and then I saw this set when I was going through my stamps, and decided that why not(I was also maybe watching Independence Day at the mo')? This is from the The Cat's Pajamas set, Space Cadet. I paired it with paper from two different Doodlebug paper pads, one from Carta Bella(the b&w stripes) and lots of fun embellishments. 

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to head to the CAN YOU CASE IT blog to check out my fellow teammates creations, and we sure hope to see you playing along!! Lots of fun to be had with this challenge!!

Until next time, stay stampy and fabulous!

CYCI#128-A Christmas Sketch

Hey there stampers and welcome to this week's Can You Case It Challenge!! This week's challenge is a sketch, and I LOVE a good sketch challenge, so I had a little fun with it!!

I had to make a Christmas card earlier this week, and I thought, you know what....make another one, get ahead, YOU CAN DO IT!! So, I used a set from The Cat's Pajamas called Bunny Christmas!  My paper is from Carta Bella, and I paired it with Berrylicious and Sour Apple from MFT, and Lollipop from Bazzill. My embellishments are buttons from MFT, some twine from Lawn Fawn, silver brads, and some gingham ruffled ribbon.

Well, that is it for me for today! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my stuff, and I hope to see you playing along with this awesome challenge!

Have a great day!!
