Hey yall! Welcome back to day 2 of Kraftin Kimmie's peeks!! Today is a set from Cheryl called Carnival Fun! I colored up cute lil Lulu in her tea cup... and I decided to roll with the hearts and used my fave LOVE colors pink, red & chocolate! And because I always see spots after spinning around in the tea cups I added a few spots of bling around her.
Don't forget to leave a little love on all of the Krafty Girls blogs for your chance to win this uber adorable set! Happy Hopping!!!
Meet Dick van Duck Graduate! I just adore the look on his face. Well my "baby" is getting ready to graduate from Middle School. It's seems like just yesterday that his Kindergarten teacher was stopping by our house because "Cutie Bug" had left his DS at school after sharing. I am just sure that years ago I'd made a deal with my youngest child... NO MORE GROWING! So how in the world did he get to be taller than me and ready to "promote" from Middle School? I am just positive that I did NOT allow this to happen!!! Seems that we have so many "near and dear to our hearts" graduating College, High School and middle school in the coming weeks... I really hope Kleenex has ramped up production of tissues!! To all of those graduates, what-ever level you're at...
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.

This little beauty is pulling a "hat trick" today :) This is Brigitte, and she's one of my fave Kraftin Kimmie stamps! I don't know why us women are such suckers for these 'bubbly bathtub images', but the only thing that Miss Brigitte is missing is a glass of wine :) And I just LOVE her hair!! Since I've started playing around and experimenting with my coloring, I think I've become obsessed with hair, lol! This week's Kraftin' Kimmie challenge is a Tic-Tac-Toe (see below)... I chose the middle column, "ribbons, gems & pink". This is also for my JUGs challenge this week which is a color challenge (see below)... I took some 'creative liberties' with the colors ;). And last but certainly NOT least, this is a birthday card for my dear stampy friend and fellow JUGHead, Lisa Kind (hope you had a fabulous day!!!) The layout for this card is another fabulous sketch by Karen at Sweet Sunday Sketch!
Remember yesterday's card when I added the different sized dots to color the lamp base? Well today I used that same idea around Brigitte and her tub, and again on the sentiment banner... LOVE it! Don't forget to check out Kraftin Kimmie's Frugal Friday sale (lasts until tomorrow, Sunday).

Hey yall! I spent part of my Saturday, while hubby was working, with the Kraftin Kimmie gals and fans at their very first Springtime Krafty Krop, Kim will do ANYthing to get Spring here! Some of the Krafty girls gave challenges and this one is for Sheri's challenge, BIRTHDAYS! My Gramma's birthday is this week so I this card is for her! My Mom & my Gramma have inspired me to be crafty for as long as I can remember. Through high school & my 20's I remember them making the most amazing creations (sewing was their thing), my Gramma also quilts and is always just a phone call away when I get stuck :) Lavendar, from Kraftin Kimmie, was perfect for this, she is retired, but she's near and dear to my heart! Of course I had to add a little stitching to this, so some gray thread holds the tag to the image :)
I also did up the inside and stamped the thimble from the set in Silver ink. Now the family will sign it and we'll send it off. :) Thanks so much for popping by, hope to see you again soon! I'll have 5 more KK Challenge cards coming soon!

This is kind of a "stamping for the fun of it", BUT my stampy friend Tracy Valure did a tutorial on Copic Clouds (this week's TSG Wednesday Trend) and I was DIEING to play!! AND this week Kraftin Kimmie's challenge is The Great OUTDOORS, so perfect when the "planets align" like that! So I got stampy! Now Tracy is one of those peeps whose coloring intimidates me some, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull it off. Well, I certainly need a little practice, BUT her tutorial was fabulous and they didn't turn out half bad ;) I am telling you these are FUN and easier than you'd think!
The stamp is from a Kraftin Kimmie set, World of Wonder! The sketch is this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I REALLY love the way this turned out! Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon!

Holy snickerdoodles, I looked at my image and the lines just kept moving! It took me a day or 2 to get some contacts so I could see again...a-nnnoying ;) So when I could finally see again, I decided to color up this adorable Easter Bunny with fabulous flowers! My layout is from this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch. Sorry for the quick post, this is a crazy week around this house ;)
