Hey yall! Happy Saturday!!! Time for another Kraftin Kimmie Challenge :) This week's hostess is the super sweet and fun Stephanie and she's created a BINGO board for us!!! I used the bottom most row for my card here! You can see the BINGO board and more inspiration from the DT on the Kraftin Kimmie Blog. For my card I used Lulu from the NEW Rainy Day Fun set. My layout is this week's Deconstructed Sketch.
I added some Yellow Liquid Pearls to her coat and boots for some fun texture :) And those great sequins are super shimmery, they're from the Birthday Bash set at Neat & Tangled... they have a metallic / holographic look to them... super fun!
And here's the inside of my card. Sorry for the quick post, thanks for popping by! Be sure to visit the Kraftin Kimmie Blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation! Can't wait to see what you make :) Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!

Happy day-before Friday :) Today's card is a "triple threat", the FAB layout is from the BRILLIANT Jen @Deconstructed Sketches, the colors are this month's color challenge over at Reverse Confetti, and the "theme" is the current Curtain Call Inspiration challenge (which is being sponsored by RC!!)
I didn't really have any patterned paper that sprung to mind for this card so I went to Snap Click Supply Co (I did this last week for another card because I had something specific in mind and I was blown away!!). They have digital paper packs of some of my favorite company, this one is called Pixie-licious by Cosmo Cricket. Anyway, I was soooooo in LOVE with the colors from the RC Color Challenge, I was happy to get this pack (I can see getting LOTS, and LOTS of use here!). The banner is from Beautiful Banners (I used the stamp set & the die), I added some "dots" to the center piece and then colored the outter pieces of the banner. OH! And I got some fabulously FUN sequins from Neat & Tangled (such amazingly pretty colors!!) which just so happened to fit perfectly with this color scheme! Almost forgot about the heart behind the banner, the heart is from the Love Notes die set! This card is just chalk-full of RC goodness <3
For the bottom piece, I used a frame and sentiment from Arrow's & Elements set. I am sooooo in love with this card... I may just keep this one for myself for a bit ;)

First off let me say YAY! Typepad is back up, and I sooooo appreciate all the time, effort and communication they provided!! Oh yes, and the douche-canoes that spend their time launching attacks like that should be taken out behind the barn and BEATEN! Ok, rant over :) A couple of years ago I made THIS CALENDAR for my Mom, well for reasons that I will NOT go in to (for sheer embarrasment) I needed to make her a few more pages recently. For her calendar (to see all of her Calendar pages, click on my CALENDAR category at the end of this post) I used the PI Calendar girls from MFT Stamps... they are soooo stinking cute and really do just fit my Mom to a T. This is her January page... LOVE those colors!! For those of you that have followed a theme with a homemade calendar what company/line of stamps did you use? While to do LOVE MFT's PI's... I think this has inspired me to make a couple of calendars for the house :) Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon!

SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new phone cover!!! Did I mention I kinda like my new phone cover?? I recently got a new phone, which I LOVE, but it's hard for me to hold on to so I needed a cover, but boy are they UG-LY!!!! Seriously! I saw some cute ones on Etsy, but none were just right... until I started working on my card for today. Yup, this started out as a card... then DD walked in and commented on how cute he was and was he for my phone! STINKING BRILLIANT she can be, lol! Some of you may know that I soooooo have a thing for froggies!
Let me back up 1/2 a step. I found this cover (black bumpers with a clear backing) for my phone with the intent of being able to decorate the back myself. I CAN CHANGE THIS BABY OUT DAILY! lol. Ok, so back to real reason you came by...
This is Lucas from the Rainy Day Fun set (now available in the Krafty Store!). We all had so much fun with this super adorable release! Today the Krafty Girls, along with our friends at Kit & Clowder are playing with all of the stamps from this release!!! So grab your latte (or Irish Coffee as I think I will be having, lol) and have fun! (Be sure to visit the KKS Blog for deets on some great things coming up). Don't forget to leave some love at each stop along the way for your chance to win some free goodies!!!

Hey yall! Happy Easter weekend!!!! And HAPPY {cheaters} RELEASE DAY!!! Yup, all of these cutey little stamps will be available in the Krafty Store this morning at 11 am EDT, right after the Release Party! Another reason to LOVE Easter... we get Krafty stamps 1 day early!!!!!!!!!! Today the Krafty girls are inking up the adorable Monster Hugs set! Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch was just PERFECT for this card... those bars on the layout just screamed SHEET MUSIC. And since today is Saturday, that means its's time for a Krafty challenge, and this week's hostess is the awesome Miss Sharon! Her challenge couldn't be easier, ANYTHING GOES! So go make a Kraftin Kimmie card and link it up!
And thanks to modern technology there is NO reason what-so-ever why you can't hop and PARTY at the same time, lol (time management at it's best, lol.). Come hang with the Krafty girls and the Kraftiest of us all, Kimmie, at the Release Party on the KKS FB Fan page at 10 am EDT. While that's "technically" too early to drink, we can always have Irish Coffee ;)

It's time for another does of Kraftin Kimmie cuteness! Today lovelies were designed by Annie, they are a set of 2 called Bloomin Wonderful! I've been feeling a little "experimental" today so I played with a "new-to-me" technique called, Embedded Diecut. I used a set of flowers from Silhouette online store, sized them the way I wanted them and then cut them out twice... once on the background PALE BLUE cs and then again in assorted Patterned Papers. It kind of gives a fun background for this flower plantin' pretty! The round TRINKET is from BFF Trinkets.

Extra's: Pennant die (Taylored Expressions), flower rhinestones,
Copics

Hey yall! It's Tuesday and it's time to Seize the Sketch! My studio is such a stinking disaster, there isn't even a space to stamp! Between that and severly lacking brain cells to color, etc. I grabbed a fun paper pad & some Petals & Posies dies!! I'm kind of a sucker for anything burlap these days too (you should see the wreathe I made and the curtains I've made! <3). The banner across the top is from Beautiful Banners stamp set and die set. I used a white Sharpie Paint pen on the banner just to "liven" it up a bit ;) The middles of the flowers are Black Enamel Accents, Sequins (LOVE Neat & Tangled!), and enamel dots (i heart papers).
Head on over to the STS Blog to check out what the rest of the STS Girls did with this great sketch, then link up your own creation!!
Stamps: Beautiful Banners (Reverse Confetti)
Dies: Beautiful Banners (Reverse Confetti), Petals & Posies (Reverse Confetti)

Happy Thursday! This week's Deconstructed Sketch has so many fun pieces to it! This week I grabbed some very neglected Verve stamps, this set is Dream Big and the sentiment is one of the freebies I got with one of my orders. I LOVED the sentiments with the set, but by the time I went to add it, I'd run out room :( While I like the way this card turned out, I did realize that I desperately need some new ink pads :(
Stamps: Dream Big (Verve), Happy Thoughts (Verve freebie)
Ink:
Extra's: Arrow die (Verve), Scalloped border (Silhouette online store), Silver Sequins
