Kraftin Kimmie Challenge #277 - Black & White



Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday today! I am sure looking forward to some wonderful weather this weekend after it has snowed for the last two days here. For this week's challenge my theme is Black and White! I don't know about you but I LOVE LOVE LOVE black and white cards! I really do gravitate towards these. You can interpret the theme any way you like. You can do the image in black and white or your papers can be black and white. 

On my card I used one of our new releases Life is a Masquerade!!! This is a terrific set and I am totally in love with it. This set comes with two fantastic images and two sentiments. As soon as I saw her I couldn't wait to do her in black and white. I think she looks very mysterious!



In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch.  The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card!  You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if ya need it!  Here is ??? sketch...

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Peeks - Day Three!



Hey everyone!!

Hope you have been enjoying the peeks so far! Today is day THREE of our APRIL Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! So much fun!!

We are super excited to have another amazingly fun set from artist, Cheryl Grant!!! Of course it features our favourite kids....Lulu, Lexi and Lucas!! This one's called SWEET BIRTHDAY KIDS!
This fabby set is all about celebrating, making wishes, friends and having fun, no matter what age you happen to be!! It features THREE sweet images plus SEVEN coordinating sentiments!! And it's also such great timing that we just got the new Birthday Wishes - Boy and Girl paper pads by Echo Park!!!

For my card I used Lucas and his cute little puppy. I find it more difficult to make male birthday cards so that was my personal challenge with this stamp set. I kept the colors more earth toned to keep with the male theme but I had to add some bling and some flowers. :)

I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!! Come join us on Saturday night beginning at 6pm EST!!


We'll be celebrating all the new stamp sets for April plus giving some stuff away!! It's always a great time with the new stamps being released at 7pm, so I hope you can spend an hour with me and the Krafty Girls and Guests!!
