Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and Friday Sketchers

Here's my take on Challenge #2 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog to use buttons on your project. I received my stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie yesterday, her entire release (thank you so much Kimmie) and inked up and coloured Lillith right away. Isn't she sassy!! I love the little frog. This stamp set comes with a co-ordinating little froggy which I coloured and placed inside the card under the sentiment. I used Friday Sketchers Sketch #74 for my design. My card is 6 x 6 and the products used are: Neenah ultra smooth white cs and SU cs, copic markers, CTMH pp, cs and buttons, DMC thread, white uniball pen, Oval Nestabilities, machine stitching and May Arts ribbon.

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and Friday Sketchers

This image is Charlotte by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. Isn't she adorable!!! She even comes with an accessory stamp! Kimmie made her debut grand opening and I was lucky enough to win her entire release on her DT blog hop! I am so excited to be receiving her first release of wonderful stamps!

Every week you will find a challenge on Krafty Girl Challenge Blog. Check it out! This week's theme was "Birthday". I don't have Kraftin Kimmie's sentiment set yet so I used a SU birthday sentiment from the Circle of Friendship set.

I coloured in Charlotte with my copics, added some stickles and cut her out with my Nestablities. Patterened paper is Daisy D's, SU cs, sentiment stamp and ribbon, CTMH flowers, dewdrops, Doodlebug brad, Glimmer Mist and corrugated cardboard.

I used Friday Sketcher's Sketch #73

Happy Birthday Mom

Yesterday was my Mom's 70th birthday so here is the card I made for her. I doubled up on challenges this week for this card using Friday Sketcher's Sketch #69 and Just Magnolia's Week #22 -challenge on embossing. I coloured in Tilda on Neenah cs with my copics that I picked up at Magnolia Stamps. Isn't she adorable? I used my nestabilities to cut and emboss and my cuttelbug folders to emboss the background patterened papers. I also used some Prima flowers, Stickles, a Doodlebug sugar coated brad, u/k ribbon, some bling and a heart charm from Micheals and a Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies. I also used a SU oval and scalloped oval punch for the sentiment. I hope my Mom likes the card!

Friday Sketchers #68

Here's my take on this weeks Friday Sketcher's Challenge. I used my copics to colour in this cute Doraline Riding a Broom stamp from Motivet. I used some Halloween Recollections patterened paper and spider web stamp that I picked up at Michaels. I added some Stickles, Making Memories sparkle glaze paint, dewdrops and punched a bat out from a Martha Stewart stamp. For my Happy Halloween sentiment, I used a SU punch and added some glimmer mist.

Hang 10

Here's my take on this week's sketch over at Friday Sketchers. The extra challenge this week was to use a blue and orange combo. I used Surfer Ian from the Greeting Farm and a Hang 10 Amy R Beach Sentiment. I used my copics, cuttlebug embossing folder, twine, dewdrops and stickles.

Princess Anya

Here is a card I made for two challenges this week - Sew Simple for Farm Fresh Friday at The Greeting Farm and for Friday Sketchers #65. I used Princess Anya which is available at The Greeting Farm.
