Nerds are BACK!

Ok, ok, ok... those of you who know me well know that I'm a total nerd.  When it comes to a lot of things I completely Nerd out.  But, even in school I was a complete nerd.  I did the homework of most of our high school class over the weekend because they were all out partying and i was cracking the books.  Seriously, I loved it... I knew that I was good at it, so I enjoyed doing it.  Writing papers and solving math equations, learning a new language, it was all just fascinating to me.  So, when Kimmie posted that the Nerd set was coming back, I squealed with delight!

NERD IS THE WORD! 

Here's my Krafty Kreation for this awesome little set here:

How totally excited are you for this set to be a Krafty Komeback?!?!??! I know I am.  So hop on over to the Kraftin Kimmie Store and pick up your set before they all disappear again! I'm gunna go and grab a cup of coffee, a book, and a seat on my comfy couch.  Tootles! 

Be a square!

Good morning Krafty people!!!! I'm here today sharing with you a Square card!  Yeah, I rarely make square cards.... I don't know why... I mean, I have NOTHING against the shape.... I just get stuck doing my 5x7 cards.  It's muscle memory.  I sit at my desk, I cut a 5x7 card base, I pick papers, I find an image, I color..... it's comfortable, it's habit, and I LIKE IT! HA HA HA!  

So when I saw the challenge at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, I decided to "do something different" and stop being a "square" by making just that; a square card!  The challenge this week is to make a square card, in case I hadn't said that enough, and you can click here to find the details. 

On the top of my paper bin has been this orange piece of paper that is covered in cute old cameras!  I love it and I can just never bring myself to use it... that was going to end today! I also knew that SOMEWHERE in my stash of charms I had this little camera that would go perfect.  Which led me to the "Oh, Snap!" set by KKS! (Unfortunately it's not available for purchase any longer.)  I just adore this set and I had so much fun coloring it! 

...and here's the inside!  

To color the image I seriously used 45 Copic markers! Yeah, that shocked even me.  But it was fun and I had coffee, so I kept going. 

I hope that you join in with the Krafty Girls at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and make a square card. There is a prize for the winner! Prizes are always good!!! 

I have enjoyed being a Krafty Guest Designer this month and I have some super duper exciting news!!!!!! I got asked to be a guest designer again in February!  I'm soooooo excited!  So stay tuned for more KKS! He he he! 

Have a Krafty Day!
