Tag you're it!

Thanks heavens it is Saturday is all I can say! This has been one long and I haven't gotten hardly any crafting done. But I did manage to get my Kraftin Kimmie item done and this week it is all about "tags". Whether you make a tag like I did or make a tag and put the image on a card, we just wanna see them!
This is one of the images I haven't gotten around to inking up (I know, shame on me!) and now I can't find it in the store but her name is Lavinia. I kinda liked the steampunk look to her and that sassy look on her face. She is on a Tim Holtz tag with some decorative paper, the corner of a doily, some silver peel offs and a reflective little word tag for in the corner. Oh, and a flower of course! Alright, let's see those tags girls (and guys!) and if you play along you have a chance at winning Cut throat Lizzie that Sandie is showcasing on her blog this week.

Just because...

Good Morning friends! I have a card today that I made just because, well I should say that wasn't for a dt  commitment.  Stamping Bella has a sketch challenge this week and I finally got a chance to play along and since I just bought several of their "Uptown Girl" images I thought I would take advantage.

These are some older Basic Grey papers, some sheer shimmery ribbon and of course, glamour dust on her dress and shoes. Wish I had legs like this girl! Some red spica pen for the berries on the mistletoe and voila! One of my only Christmas cards this year! All right, time for me to get outta here and get to work. Hope you all have a great day!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...

Well unfortunately, no white Christmas yet but at least the rain seems to have passed because the past few days have been cold but sunny. But the challenge this week at Tiddly Inks is "White Christmas". I have used the hysterical image called Minnie's Christmas lights.

I glittered up some poinsettias and used glossy accents on her string of bulbs and her glasses for a little extra texture. Some Viva Decor white pearls on the spellbinders die and a shimmery silver snowflake and she is ready, as soon as she gets untangled of course! Okay, let's see what you have to show us and after this challenge the design team will get to take a little break to spend the holidays with family and friends. So we will see you again at the beginning of the year!

There is a fun new SET by Cheryl Alger for the little ladies in your life!! It’s called SUGAR AND SPICE! We also have TWO fantastic sets of VALENTINES from Emilie Goulet called LOTS OF LOVE 1 AND LOTS OF LOVE 2!!! And of course we have an amazing new set of six ALICE IN WONDERLAND stamp from Annie Rodrigue! PLUS we are also releasing a coordinating set of WONDERLAND SENTIMENTS!!
You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our DECEMBER Krafty Hop! If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!! And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!! (You’ve been buying presents for everyone else all month long….don’t you think it’s time to reward your krafty self a little bit??!! ) The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!
Hopefully you have arrived here from the awesome Nicole's blog. Isn't she amazing? I have used another image by Cheryl Alger today, Girl with Flowerpot. Do you know how many different flowers I tried putting on here? I made two different felt flowers, 3 different paper flowers and 3 different crochet flowers and I didn't like any of them. I finally settled on the flowers I had from the wedding section at the local craft store.

I have also used some clear gems in each corner, I just got a 1 lb bucket of them so you might see them a lot! There is some beige shading around the image but I always have the most difficult time getting it to show. Alright, next on the list is the lovely Krista. And if you get lost you can always start back at the beginning where Kimmie has a list of everyone participating.

Mad as a Hatter!

Well my card is anyways! Today is the premiere of the new Moonlight Whispers images for Kraftin Kimmie by the talented Annie Rodrigue and if you are a fan of Alice  in Wonderland you are in for a treat! And today marks the beginning of another challenge at the challenge blog which is a sketch so make sure you hop over to check it out.

My image comes with two sentiments and where I work I think this would be an appropriate card for anyone on my team! I have used a flourish that I rubbed with Viva Decor inka gold in purple and some lime green for the accents. And of course make sure you visit everyone's blog and leave a comment to be in the running for 3, yes 3! of Annie's new images to two lucky people!

Pretty in pink!

Today is day two of the new release from Kraftin Kimmie and all of the images today are by the whimsical Emilie Goulet! And if you leave a comment on everyone's blog you will be entered to win one of the release sets being shown today. My image is Princess from set one. You may want to put on sunglasses first...

I just love lime green and hot pink together and what is more girly that this? The sentiment is included and I have just been waiting for the right time to use that ribbon, green on one side and pink on the other! Some glossy accents on the hearts and some stickles around her prince and she is ready and waiting! Please make sure you hop over the blog so you can see what the other girls have for you, you won't be disappointed! And tomorrow is the debut of some new Moonlight Whispers!
