KK Challenge 148

Hi all, how's your Saturday going? I'm well but unfortunately I have to say farewell to the Kraftin Kimmie DT and Kimmie herself. I have had a wonderful month being Guest Designer for Kraftin Kimmie and have learned alot. (and made great friends, too!!!)

With all the images that I had the pleasure of coloring this month, I feel my coloring skills have improved which is a great perk! This little cutie is Gabrielle and although she's not a birthday image per-se, I used her for my birthday card here. Hope my SIL likes it!

 

The Challenge this week is use your favorite so you all should be able to play, Won't you join us?
And don't forget to check out the Frugal Friday specials. They will be discounted all weekend so go check them out!
Have a great weekend, peeps!  Love to the DT

TSG174 and Fall Challenges

Hi Bloggy Friends, Time for me to get inky with some Fall stamps. This "There she Goes" stamps set has been sitting around waiting for me to use it. What a great couple of sets, Buckets of Love and the Buckets of Love Holiday Additions.

The Copic gods were smiling on me last night when coloring this. I'm pretty happy with it. And this sketch made putting the card together a breeze! I used Echo Park's Walk in the Park paper and some Kraft CS. I also cut my image out with some Spellbinder Rectangles and Scalloped Rectangles. To finish it off, some seam binding, a button, a leaf-shaped pin and twine were added.
Now I feel that Fall has arrived now that I made a fall card! Just have to pull out my Fall home decor stuff. :)

 Here's another view. The links to challenges are below.

Color Throwdown.Niece's New Home Card

Hi Bloggers, I made a card for my Niece who just bought her first home. I used the current Color Throwdown 210 for this. I just love this Echo Park This and That paper pad. I'm surprised how much I reach for it lately!

I also used a cute Kraftin Kimmie Stamp called Bug Buddies 2 which I just received in the mail. I will enter it as a second submission to the Fall Colors challenge on the KK blog.  I already had one as a guest designer. The only reason I'm linking it up is that that more people see it!
I made up the design and didn't use a sketch. Hope you enjoyed looking!!!

PCS -Star Challenge

Hi Friends, I'm playing along in Papercraft Star's Challenge this week to add a star or stars to you card. I have some serious paper love for this Bo Bunny paper! I also know someone who's gonna have a boy in a few months so this goes in my stash for her.
The little rocket stamp is Stampin Up. I masked off the the little sentiment that said "have a blast" cuz it wasn't a baby sentiment. I colored the rocket twice and popped up one layer. I used a rub on for the sentiment. The sketch is an older Mojo Monday from this year. A Verve tag die was used and tied with bakers twine.
Thanks for visiting!

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge Fall Colors

Hi bloggers, time for another challenge at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps! This week's challenge is Fall Colors. I chose sweet Natsuko and dressed her up in Basic Grey's Konnichiwa line. I know it has a some pink and blue mixed in with the browns and oranges but it's so cute!!! A beautiful Prima flower gives it an Autumn feel.
I'm not too happy with the stickles on the lantern, they must be distress stickles cuz they are not sparkle-y AT ALL. I used an embossing folder on the background paper but the name escapes me at the moment.
I hope you all can join up this week!

Rosh Hashanah Card

Hi Friends, I have some loved ones who celebrate Rosh Hashanah so I made them a card. I wanted to play with my new MFT birdcage die set so I set out to look thru my papers for something to work with and settled on this pretty Kaisercraft paper. I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch and some pretty PTI Card Stock and ribbon.
The stamp set is from Michaels, name unknown but it has sentiments for all the year's holidays. I used 2 dew drop inks, a light aqua and a darker one. Button and flowers are from my stash. The card's a bit girlie but my MIL won't mind. :)
This card will be submitted to some challenges. First, Papercraft Star's challenge is to use a birdcage. Creative Paper Trade's very first challenge is a pretty pastel palette. Ribbon Girl's challenge is Pink and Green. Paper Play Time's challenge is to use punches and a sentiment.

Thanks for visiting today!  Kim
