Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - White on White

Hey everyone! Hope you're having an awesome day! It's time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog, and this week our hostess with the mostest is our fabulous Alice! Alice has chosen to challenge us with "white on white". So keep it white except for the image. Here's what I came up with...

For my card I used one of the adorable new images from the Lulu and Libby set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Aren't they adorable? I think they look so precious and good right here. But I bet you a dollar that the hand squeezing is starting to get a little excessive....  heehee  They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The shape of the card and that gorgeous lacy border are courstesy of the Silhouette store and I just stitched around the frame. The flourish is from Cheery Lynn Designs and that delicious butterfly is a Marianne Die. The pearls were done with the Viva Decor Pearl Pen which I adore! The ribbon is May Arts silk and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

So that's it for me today. Please be sure and pop over to Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous white on white creations the rest of the Krafty Girls and Guests have created, and then we'd really love it if you'd play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

For my card, I used Judy. I don't see her in the shop right now, but I would imagine Kimmie will have her back in stock again soon.

Papertake Weekly - Let's play Bingo!!!

Hi everyone! Are you having a great start to your week? Life is truly good, ya know? I am so blessed in my life, and am truly thankful.  So if you're a friend, or if you just pop by every once in a while, or if you're family, THANK YOU for contributing and making my life the joy that it is.  Ok...so are you ready for a good game of Bingo?  That's the fun that's awaiting you at Papertake Weekly this week. We're bing sponsored by our very own Mary and Andrea over at The Ribbon Girl, so one yummy prize awaits a lucky participant! First, here's your bingo card. So just pick your three (or fill the board if you're feeling REALLY ambitious! *smiles*

And here's what I've come up with for the challenge. I used actually two different rows, down column one with ribbon, die cut, and buttons.  And I also covered diagonal from left to right ribbon, free, and blooms.

I used #348 Tilda with Blue Blanket from the Princes and Princesses collection from Magnolia-licious. Is't she just too precious?!  I don't see her available in the standard size, but she is available in the mini size!!  She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. I then fussy cut her out and popped her up off a frame cut with a Spellbinder die.  The flowers and flourish are from the Silhouette store. .

The papers are some old ones I've got from Making Memories matted with Bazzill cardstock. The ribbon is (as almost always) May Arts silk ribbon and the pearls were done with the Viva Decor Pearl pen. They weren't hard enough when I was taking the pics. See how I messed up that pearl on the top of my card when I moved it around for the next pic? UGH! It was just dry enough that I could pluck it right off there and replace it (thank goodness).

Please pop over to Papertake Weekly to see all the gorgeous designs from my teamies, and then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Magnolia-licious Blog Hop - It's time for a wedding!

Hi everyone! It's the third Monday in the month, and that means it's blog hop time for the Magnolia-licious Design Team!! This month, the theme is wedding! Pretty appropriate with it being June, don't ya think?  If you've made your way here from my friend and DT sister Cheryl, then you're on the right track. If not,  you can find the complete list of hoppers at Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. You don't want to miss a single bit!!  Here's what I've come up with for you today.

For my card today, I used #168 Loving Bridal Couple which I don't see in stock right now. If you're interested, please be sure and contact Diana. They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers.  The card itself was cut using the Cameo and I did it with cream on white. It didn't photograph well at all, but it really is pretty in person.  The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts and the glittered heart is from my stash. I added a lot of pearls to the flourish frame using a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.  And lastly that fabulous bow was made using tulle. I love that bow!

The card base was meant to be turned sideways, but I really wanted to use it, so I flipped it around so the image would fit on the center. The disadvantage to that, is that the card won't stand on it's own. *sigh*

Be sure to check out all the fabulous Magnolia images available from Diana at Magnolia-licious!! She has the absolute BEST selection of Magnolia images in North America. And not only does she have an extensive stock of the standard images, she is also the distributor for the Mini Magnolia images as well!  She has the best prices and customer service, and you will not be disappointed!!  Now it's time to hop on to see my friend and DT sister Angie. I know you're gonna love what she's created for you today! Thanks for hopping with us, and hope to see you again soon! Hugs!

Papertake Weekly - Three....Two....One!!!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday! Just a little more than two weeks, and my Grandson JJ will be here to visit! Those of you that have known me for a while know exactly how excited I get about this visit every year. He's our first Grandson and he and my daughter (his mom) lived with us for the first four and a half years of his life. So when they moved away, it was pretty hard. So we bring him out every summer to get a little taste of home again. This year, the visit will be way too short for me, but we'll make the most out of every minute. So you think our house would be noisy now with all of us here, well add one more 8 year old boy on top of the two we've already got, and I start being afraid that OSHA will visit and fine me for unsafe noise levels. LMBO!  So anyway, it's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week Dawny is asking us to use three of one thing, two of something else, and one thing of yet another. We're being sponsored by Whiff of Joy!  Here's my take on the challenge this week.

I used #265 Summer Flower Tilda from the Summer Memories Collection. I don't see her in stock right now in the regular size at Magnolia-licious, but Diana does have her in the mini size! She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The frame she's in was cut with the Cameo. The DP is Nitwit Collections matted with Bazzill Cardstock. I added a couple layers of lace along with a bow made with some May Arts silk ribbon. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts with some leaves from a Martha Steward punch. The pearls were done using a Viva Decor Pearl pen.

Please be sure to pop over to Papertake Weekly to see what my teamies came up with for you this week, then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play long with us. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon!  Hugs!!

It' time for a new challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge blog, and this week our hostess with the mostest is the amazingly talented Angie!  Her challenge to us this week is to make anything but a card with your Kraftin' Kimmie stamps! Here's what I created for this awesome challenge!

Isn't she the cutest thang evah???!!! LOL! LOOOOVE her! She's Julie from the Moonlight Whispers line at Kraftin' Kimmie's.  I also used a Trinket from the Everyday Trinkets set which I adore!!  Julie is stamped with Memento ink onto X-Press It cardstock and then colored with Coipc markers. I cut her out and popped her up from the lid of the gift box. The sentiment "Let's Party" comes with her. FABULOUS!!

There's a little bit more of an angled view of the box, the trinkets are on each side of the box. The box was cut using the Cricut Expression and the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge from Hallmark Scrapbook. The DP's are digital from Nitwit Collections and the cardstock is Bazzill.

Magnolia - licious challenge - Water Water Everywhere

Hey eveyone! Oh my goodness, it's already June 1st!!!! I can't believe how quickly the time goes anymore. Seems like I blink my eyes and the month is over. Kinda scary when ya think about it, ya know??  Anyway, it's time for a new challenge from the Magnolia-licious Design team, and this month our hostess is my friend and wonderfully talented Mindy! And Mindy has challenged us to use water in our project.  So here is what I've come up with for the challenge. Now I have to tell you, as soon as I saw this adorable new Tilda, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with her! Luckily the stamp I wanted to use her with was in the correct direction, and it worked like a charm!

I kept the card very simple, first because the images were so large that I really didn't have any room to add a bunch of embellishments, and really I didn't want to detract from the scene at all. I wanted it to be all about Tilda reeling in poor Edwin. (Is it my imagination or does the look on his face say "oh crap!!") LMBO! Anyway, I used #269 Hooked Tilda along with Dangling Sea Edwin and #600 Boat. They're stamped with Memento ink onto X-Press It cardstock and then colored with Copic markers. Little Edwin is hanging from an anchor in his normal state, so  I just fussy cut him out and away from the anchor. The center cloud is a Magnolia Doohickey die, #30 Flag and Cloud.

Please pop over to Magnolia-licious Highlites to check out all my DT Sisters fabulous projects, and to see how you can join us in the challenge for a chance to win an awesome prize from Diana at Magnolia-licious! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back here again tomorrow for a new Kraftin' Kimmie challenge! Hugs!

Hey everyone! Happy weekend, and if you're in the states, happy THREE day weekend!!!  It's time for a new challenge from Kraftin' Kimmie  Challenge Blog, and this week, the hostess is me! The challenge I chose for you this week is "Get Sentimental". So please use a sentiment on your project.  For my card today, I've used the new set Lulu on the Move and chose Lulu on her Tricycle.  I also added one of the fabulous new Everyday Trinkets that were just released last week, which are a brand new line for Kraftin' Kimmie!! LOOOOOVE them!!!

She's stamped with Memento ink onto Copic X-Press It Cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The DP's are from Nitwit Collection (Toadally Yours) matted with Bazzill cardstock. I used a punch around the page set from Martha Stewart while I'm VERY IMPATIENTLY waiting for my Cameo to ship to me. LOL! The layers are all machine stitched and popped up from one another for lots of dimension. The Trinket is stamped using my Tim Holtz Distress markers and then cut out with Nestabilities, and once again popped up. The bow was made using May Arts silk ribbon and then I added some pearls with the Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Please be sure and join us over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog where you can see all the fabulous sentimental projects from all the oh so VERY talented Krafty Girls and Guests! And then we'd love it if you'd join us in the challenge for a chance to win Lulu on her tricycle!

I used the adorable #212 Honeebee Tilda  with the awesome Meadow Daisy. They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The papers are ancient and were perfect for Suzanne's challenge! LOL! They're Chloe's Closet from Making Memories, and they're matted with Bazzill cardstock. I also used some fabulous dies which are also available at Magnolia-licious. The flourish is a Magnolia Doohickey die, and the butterfly is from Memory Box.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Please be sure and pop over to both Papertake Weekly AND Magnolia-licioius Highlites to see my teamies gorgeous creations, and then we'd love it if you'd play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

It's spring time at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend and that you've got nice spring weather! It's time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog,  and this week our hostess with the mostest is my friend and wickedly talented Amanda! Amanda has asked us to make a project with the theme of spring. Here's what I came up with for you today

I chose to use an adorable Lulu from the brand new set Playtime Lulu which is available for purchase right now over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Isn't she the cutest??!!!  She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The papers are Graphic 45 matted with Bazzill cardstock. The sentiment is computer generated, and of course my standard bow.  Please be sure and pop over to Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog to check out what my teamies have been up to, and then we'd love it if you'd play along with the challenge. Amanda used the new Flower Girl Rose on her card, so that's the stamp you'll have a chance to win. Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope you have a fantastic weekend! hugs!
