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!!

Have you joined the Kraftin Kimmie's Krafty Friends fb group?? It's the best place to keep up with all of the goings on as well as sharing YOUR creations and getting inspired by other Krafty Friends' creations!!!

SO, let's get down to the good stuff shall we? The theme this week is.... Distress Inks! Since I've just been getting my feet wet with the distress ink thing, I thought this would be a super fun challenge to join in on! Here's my creation:

I used black soot distress ink and a sponge to get the cloud effect in the background of little miss Witchy-Poo here. I colored her up with my Copics and cut her out using a stitched circle die from Gina Marie Designs. I even added a few glittery Nuvo Drops! Oh so fancy!

Well, I hop to see you joining on the fun this week! Post your awesome creations so we can all see! Have a wonderful weekend! Tootles!

Wait... NOT a card?

Every month there is a Krafty Scrappy challenge that is "anything but a card." We all know that I have a lot of trouble doing this.... like A LOT! I mean, I make cards, that 's what I do. So when you tell me to make something that 's not a card... I instantly question our friendship...... but....

Ok, so my second love, is my planner! Yeah I'm one of "those" people. I love the tangible. I don't put dates and appointments and stuff like that in my phone, I like to have it on paper. .....DUHHHHH Jammie, you dork (yeah I call myself names), make a darn planner layout! Sheesh!

Ok, so I used distress inks and a sponge with a stencil to make the could background. I stamped the trolls on coloring card stock and colored them up all bright and fun to go with the colouds. I added some stickers and Washi tape, this is obviously BEFORE i wrote in everything that I have to do this week. But you get the idea!

Here's the deets on the challenge:

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)
3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
4. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
5. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes!! Once we've reached 5 entries, we draw a random winner (winner will be drawn at the close of the challenge)!!
6. You have until Monday, September 25th @ 12:00 pm Eastern to get your entries in.
7. Be sure to also share your creations on our Krafty Friends FB page so we can all drool and OOHHHH and AHHHHH!

So, yeah, it's NOT a card! Hooray for me! Now let's see what ya got! Make something other than a card and enter the challenge! I can't wait to see what you make! Tootles!

Who's ready for a Comeback????

Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Happy dance time! It's Krafty Komeback day! Woohoo! .....and the lucky stamp is........ drumroll please..... WITCHY-POO!!!!!
Ok, So I didn't have Witchy-Poo, so when I found out that she was the Krafty Komeback I was elated! She is so adorable! Here's my card.....

Mindy Eggen taught me how to make a could background with Distress Inks, so I used the ones in the photo and got with it! I stamped the sentiment directly not he background and tied a ribbon around it. I used pop dots to add some detention to the card, and I colored little witchy poo here with acid green skin just like Wizard of Oz! He he he!

Ok, scoop up little miss Witchy-poo while you can and get to crafting just in time for All Hallows Eve! Hooray! Have a wonderful Friday, see ya here tomorrow for a Saturday Challenge! Tootles!

Let the good times roll

It's wednesday...... yup, mid week, we're half way there! So pour some coffee and take a look at all of the awesome Wonderful Wednesday projects that the DT has created. Today I'm using the super cute stamp set "Let the Good Times Roll." It was retired for a while, but Kimmie was able to get a few sets remade in Red Rubber!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!! So, if you don't already own this set, roll on over to the KKS site and scoop one up before they are gone again!!!!

I had such a blast coloring this image, it really was fun. I used some papers from Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) that I thought really went with the image, and I cut some clouds out of various colors of white yardstick on my Cricut machine to make the clouds. FUN!

Hope you are inspired to participate in our Wonderful Wednesday challenge as well! As always, it's "anything goes!" So grab the closest stamp, and get to creating! I can't wait to see what you make! Tootles!

Hop Hop Hop!

So, release week has been pretty amazing huh? Seriously though, how fun were those flowers and the Annie Flower Girls??? Then we had the super cute Lexi and Lulu.... oh if you don't know what I'm talking about you better scroll up on my blog here and start hopping, and quick, because if you leave comments on everyones pages you will be entered to win a prize!!!!! Who doesn't love prizes? For reals?!?!?!?

Ok, let's get with it... I figured that you all wanted to see another of the Cheryl Grant girls out for a Sunday ride in the park... whaddya say? Here it goes:

Isn't Lexi just the cutest?!?!?! EEEEKKKKK!!!! I just adore her!

I used my Cricut machine to cut out the grasses that I put at the bottom and the oval die is from Gina Marie Dies. The clouds were in an envelope that my sweet cousin Lena sent to me, and the paper has been with me for years (no really, like 10 wish years or so.... yeah... shhhh I'm a paper hoarder, don't tell anyone!). This is what's in the stamp set:

Ok, so don't forget to hop along with the Krafty Krew and guests today and leave a little love on each blog. Then, join us on Sunday for the LIVE online release party in the Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and Friends Facebook Group! The party starts Sunday (that's today) the 11th at 7 pm Eastern time! Be there or be square!

Just chicken in...

Welcome to Day THREE of our May Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

What's springtime like down on the farm?? Lots of FUN according to these kiddos and animals! Here are TWO new sets from artist Cheryl Grant!

First is COW'S IT GOING!!! Secret Krafty Klub members will recognize this set as they received it in their mailbox back in March! And it will be available to everyone on Saturday!
It features a large main image, an extra little puppy pal and four fun sentiments!

The second set is JUST CHICKEN IN!!! How sweet are these??? There's a main image featuring Lexi feeding her chicks (with a lending paw from her kitten), and two additional animal images with a mother hen and a gorgeous pony! And there's four coordinating sentiments!

You will see both of today's sets in action as you hop around the Krafty blogs! You'll see the list of Krafty design team members and Krafty Guests below and be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky commenter is going to WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!

As you can tell I decided to use both sets! He he he! I just loved these little animals and thought they would all be super cute together!

Frugal Friday Specials are up!! 4 super cute sets are 40% off!! The sale ends on Sunday (or while supplies last)... Happy Shopping!

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if ya need it!

Now create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp and be sure to use our THEME as a starting point for your creation!!! You will have until March 31st at 11:55 pm EST to get your entries in!

So here's my take on the cloud challenge..... ready????

This set is called "Make a Splash!" and is one of my absolute favorites of all time! Coloring all of those petticoat layers is so much fun. It gives me plenty of time to just check out and color.... I love it! I used R85, 83 and 81 to color them. The yellows were Y17,15,13,10, and 00, her hair is BC59, E37, 25 and 33. I used like 5 colors on the water along with two different wink of stella pens to get that shimmer. The papers are from Doodlebug of course and the pop dots are Echo Park Summertime. The dies I used are from Gina Marie.

Ok Krafty People.....

Pull out those fabby stamps and play along! Have some krafty fun and join us this week!!
