Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps September Release Preview # 2...Furever Friends!

Good Morning Krafty Friends! I am so excited that I'm hangin' out with my Krafty Girls again for the new super KKS SASSY September Stamp Release and I have a card to share with you this morning featuring one of the gorgeous, sexy and oh so sultry new Annie Rodrigue images! I absolutely adore the Pin Up Girls collection...Va Va-Voom! There are also super duper cute Fall and Birthday images by Steven Leary and a fabulous Thankful Sentiment set by Jeanne Streiff perfect for all your Thanksgiving creations!

So, for my card today I used Jayne one of the gorgeous Pin Up Girls from the Moonlight Whispers collection and coloured her in with my Copics, of course. I thought I would keep her more innocent looking for this card and so I picked papers and colours that downplayed her sex-kitten demeanour and tried to bring out her demure side,lol! I, once again, used Life is Good pp by Echo Park...I can't even begin, to tell you how much, I love this paper!!! I also used more Martha Stewart crinkled seam binding with a double buttony bow, lots of pearls and Primas too! I used a Kraftin' Kimmie sentiment stamp that comes with Roxy and Bernice and "Cherish" is a Mellisa Frances rub-on.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek and my Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps preview card! I will be back on Saturday for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge with another preview card and I will be back on Sunday with the KKS Blog Hop to celebrate the new stamps release! I hope you can come by and check out all the kraftiness we have in store!

Have a stampin' great day!

Hugs,

Just Magnolia # 69 and CCT # 126...Best Wedding Wishes!

Hello friends! Hope you had a restful weekend with a little crafting thrown in for good measure! I did but it was a little drab though being overcast and raining off and on. Well, back to the grind stone today! Well, before I head off to work, I thought I would post this card that I made yesterday for my friend. Her sister is getting married in October. I made this card following the challenge over at Just Magnolia Challenge...Let's get Sentimental and I used Fern's gorgeous sketch at Cute Card Thursday!

I used the Pink Paislee Queen Bee paper again as I just love it and it is the perfect papers for my friend's, sister's wedding....such a gorgeous colour combo. I have been dieing to ink up this sweet stamp of Tilda and Edwin tying the knot....love the beach theme to this image....so romantic. I made my easel card 6x6 from Colorbok cardstock and I used the Magnolia Doohickey border die Tilda's lace...just love this border it is soooo pretty and the dies work like a dream. I also used some American Crafts fabric rose trim....in a buttery yellow and it is just so scrumptious!

The Sentiments are Melissa Frances rub-ons and I really love the sentiment on the bottom of the easel card, it is a chipboard sentiment by Colorbok.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card today!

Happy stampin'!

Hugs,

Whiff of Joy Challenge # 85...Door Hanger...Fun in the Sun!

Hey crafty friends! Glad you could pop by for the new Challenge we have at the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog! We would like to see just how creative you can get....we would like you to make a fun door hanger! Just remember you need to use a Whiff of Joy image to be eligible for any prize that we may be offering up! The WOJC DT has such gorgeous and creative ideas for you!!! I am sure you will be inspired to join the fun!!!

So here is my door hanger...there is a little story to go along with this creation...well, as you know we have been on several camping trips this summer...so on our trip to Arrowhead Provincial Park we stopped at a cute Cottage/beachy type shop and both Hannah and I ended up getting theses adorable flip flops...we got the same ones except mine are brown and black.

aren't they cute...well, When I saw the little chipboard hanger that they were on I knew I had the perfect use for it too! I love using beautiful clothing tags and re-purposing package for my crafty creations.

So I covered the chipboard in pp from the Pink Paislee Queen Bee paper pad and sanded all the the edges with my hand dandy BasicGrey Precision file set. It really comes in handy to get into the tight spots. I then coloured up this adorable image of Henry basking in the sun with a cool adult beverage in "paw",lol! I made the little panel from Colorbok cardstock and cut two and glued them together to make it a little more sturdy. I hung it with some ribbon from the hanger and I punched all the holes with my Crop-A-Dile...even the ones in the very thick chipbord hanger...could not live without my Crop-A-Dile!!!!

I used my bow easy for the first time...well, I have attempted it before but with no luck! So, I looked up a video on YouTube and plunked down in front of the computer and followed along step by step! YAY! I finally have me a bow easy bow...well two in fact!!! I embellished with a few Prima flowers, and pearls and printed the message on the computer. The top sentiment "Fun in the Sun" is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Well, I am really happy how this turned out...I have to confess this is not my front door...mine doesn't look that good, he, he,he! So, I drove over to my mom and dad's to take the pic. Well, my Dad even loved this little creation of mine! He called me to ask where I put it, after I left his place and I said I brought it home with me...he was so disappointed! I think he really likes little Henry.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my door hanger...I hope you can join us at the Whiff of Joy Challenge!

Happy Stampin'!!!
