A new Challenge and Krafty Peeks Day 4!!!

Yahoo! The weekend is finally here!
And that means another fun Challenge from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
This week the awesomely talented Krafty Girl DONNA has given us a fabby recipe to follow:
3 Different Colours, 2 Different Designer Papers, 1 Button & 1 Ribbon

I'm just LOVIN' the new Krafty Quotes, aren't you? They really make beautiful CAS cards. Which is my favourite style! I used the Lucille Ball Quote and followed Donna's recipe and sifted through my scrap pile of dp's and found two that matched. I used black for my base (oooh is black a colour?...lol), added a pretty black ribbon and a funky orange button from my ever so growing button collection and it was done in a flash!

Be sure you check out the rest of the KRAFTY GIRLS to see how their 'recipes' turned out. And make sure you play along with us for your chance to win the brand new stamp Donna used on her gorgeous card!

Remember tomorrow is the Big Release Blog Hop and when the new stamps are available for purchase! Yay! Hope to see you hoppin'!

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by!

DAY ONE OF KRAFTY PEEKS!!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has become known for their sweet, whimsical images that are so much fun to colour with markers, pencils and watercolours! But this month we are launching a new line of stamps that are headed in a different direction!

Today Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is debuting a new line of stamps that will appeal to both scrappers and stampers alike! The sets are called 'Krafty Quotes'!! Each month we'll be releasing a new set and each set will have four quotes which are larger in size than your average word stamps. These gorgeous sentiments are perfect to accent your scrapbook pages, your main card images or to become the focal point of your design!

This month, Krafty Quotes #1 features quotes from Audrey Hepburn, Louisa May Alcott, Lucille Ball and Mother Teresa!!

Today I've chosen to show you a card featuring the beautiful quote by Mother Theresa.

I just love these new quotes and I know I will be making many cards with them!

Be sure to swing by to see what the rest of the Krafty Girls have to show you!

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with another sneek peek! Woo hoo!

Bug & Roo Hazel!

Today I'm sharing with you one of the latest releases over at By LORi Designs!
This is the adorable Hazel from Bug & Roo!!!
I tried the 'out of the box' technique with my nesties and ended up loving the end result.

I've seen this technique on so many blogs and projects and thought its about time to give it a try. I guess I thought it would be so much work to do I just didn't bother. But its really easy! I took a few pictures to give you an idea on how to go about it. But you mush check out this great tutorial on SCS HERE!

Just a quick little post today! Hope you have a great weekend!!! Thanks for stopping by!
