I used an old book and distressed the edges of the pages with "vintage photo" distress ink. Then I tore each page from the book and got glued it to a wreath. Colored up sweet Betsy Booklover and affixed her with some ribbons to the wreath. Super fun project. I hope you all like it!!

It's Saturday.....

.... stop and smell the flowers!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 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!! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card!! You can enter as many times per month as you'd like!!
Saturdays bring us "Themed challenges" and I love me some themed challenges! They are so open, but give me just that tiny amount of guidance so I know what direction to go in. The theme this Saturday is.... you've guessed it.... FLOWERS!!! So, glue them, color them, draw them, whatever you think will work for you, but show us some FLOWERS!!!! Here's my card for you to see:
I used Miss Floatin' Fiona, who is not particularly a "floral" type stamp. But I wanted to show you all that you can use ANYTHING for the flowers challenge.  I colored her up on a FB LIVE video for you all (well I colored her hair and eyes and skin on the live video), then cut her out with an oval die from Gina Marie.  I added some Doodlebug paper (from the we are mermaids 6x6 paper pad) and 7 bazillion flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I finished it off with a few enamel dots from Echo Park and a couple of seashell shaped buttons (you can't really see them as they are sorta under the flower petals, but trust me, they are there).  I really hope you like it! So BRIGHT and fun! 
Ok, back to business....

I saw this set and just fell in love with that little fox!!!!! So here's my card........
Notice anything different here?  ..... look closely....... GASP!!!!!! I used PENCILS!!!!!! OMG!  Don't fall off your chair..... I know, it's crazy.  He he he! So, Melanie Holtz told me that I should just go for it, and I did.  I stamped this sweet little fox on Kraft card stock and just went for it with my Prismacolor Pencils.  I love how he came out, and I'm super proud of my very first attempt at pencil coloring. The clouds are actually all heart dies in different sizes, I trimmed off the pointy ends and layers them up.  I added rhinestones as "raindrops" and a tiny bit of twine for fun.  I hope you like it!

I went for a super clean and simple springtime look with the sweet little lamb from Blessings of Peace.
