OH Crop!

 

We're back with Day FIVE of our November Krafty Peeks for the NEW Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We have had some great sets so far this week!!! The Perfect Planner, One Cup at a Time, and #Allstar!!! All the artists have done such an amazing job this release!!! Today we are sharing a special edition stamp set that was created for all the croppers who attended Crop and Create Cornwall!!! This event is hosted by Scrapbook and Cards Today!


The set is called OH, CROP! It features SIX fun sentiments plus EIGHT fun icon stamps! Everyone at the event loved it! I was lucky enough to be able to attend with Kim and we had a fantastic time!


For my preview today I decided to Project Life the event and combine some of the pages with the new stamp set!

Above are some of my favorite people, there is Catherine (owner of Scrapbook & Cards Today), Kellie whom I met last year at the same event, there is Kimmie and a NEW friend Lori!!! What is also really cool with the above page is I created a shaker pocket that shows through from front to back. In it I used the hashtags that come in the set on little rectangle pieces and stamped on the front and back!

Below are some pictures when we got to meet Becky Higgins - I will be honest had a few stars in my eyes! She is so completely down to earth and being able to listen to her talk about Project Life and how her life has influenced and changed her scrapbooking was fantastic!


And of course I couldn't forget the goofy pictures and the shots of our hotel room! I had so much fun at the event and getting to do these pages and combine them with the stamp set we received had me reliving some of the laughs we had!!!


Throughout the above pages I not only combined the icons but the hashtags and the sentiments! This is also a great set to use in your planner too!!! I keep it with mine to mark when I go for coffee with friends (and I LOVE my coffee), marking crafty time! and use the hashtags to remind me to be #creative and to #stamp.

Hope you have enjoyed my creations for this preview!!! I do hope you can come hang out with me during  our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY! Don't forget the fun begins at 6pm EST on Saturday night and we'll be celebrating the new stamp sets with fun and prizes! Then all the new release stamp sets will be released!!!

Below you will find links to the blogs of all the Krafty Girls who have goodies to show you today and while you're visiting their blogs, be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN some $$ to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!

Doesn't Lucas look like he is having fun reading his book! Don't you guys just love a good one too! I know I sometimes get a little invested in the ones I read LOL!

These days time management is of the utmost importance and this awesome set will help you stay organized AND focused while keeping your planner pretty!

I was super excited to find out Kimmie was coming out with a Planner set for this month's release.  I will be honest when I say it was super hard keeping this one a secret!!! I have just recently gotten into the planner craze myself and have an Erin Condren and a Happy Planner. In my pictures is my Happy Planner. I used a lot of different washi tapes on my "planner" layout. I really had fun decorating my planner with these stamps.
