Wonderful Wednesday!


 

Hey All!!! Krafty Girl Alexis here on this Wonderful Wednesday! Tee Hee! Hope you are having a good week so far and just remember it's half over now!


I thought I would share one of the girls from A Bit Smart Assy 2 with you today.

How can you not just giggle with this exercise girl with her 80's socks, headband, and wristbands. I hear some 80's music in the background while she's working out. I wanted to continue with that extremely fun era so I incorporated some very bright colours in this card.

I used papers by Amy Tangerine (sketchbook), My Mind's Eye (jubilee, enamel dots), and some black twine.

I of course also did the inside of the card. I really am enjoying doing this lately and find it's fun to continue my creating inside as well!!!

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until May 3rd at midnight! At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN?? Let's see your krafty stuff!!

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!





Hope you can join us today!

April Release Day 3 - Ewe's Fluffy and The Funny Farm!!


Welcome Krafty Friends to Day THREE of our April Krafty Previews!!!

Welcome to another day of Krafty Peeks for our fabulous new April release of clear stamps!! We have some sweet new designs to inspire you this month from artist, Annie Rodrigue!

First off, we have a fluffy new stamp set featuring a sweet farm girl and her wooly friend called EWE'S FLUFFY! The set also includes a set of tools in a barrel as a great accessory stamp plus two very fun sentiments!

Secondly....many of you have been asking for background stamps so.....we're introducing our first one this month! It's called THE FUNNY FARM!!! This beautiful stamp features such gorgeous artwork by Annie and it's approximately 4.75 inches wide! The set also includes SIX wonderful sentiment stamps!



I am so excited for this background stamp!!! coming from a farming family I was stoked that it was a country scene!!!! I knew I wanted to do a sunrise for this stamp. I also used gingham for the paper behind. I know it's a stereotype but to me that is what reminds me of my grandfather (the farmer in the family) and therefore our old farm.

You'll see both stamp sets featured by our amazing Krafty Girl Design Team in today's blog hop! Below you'll find links to all the gorgeous creations and while you're visiting the blogs, be sure to comment and leave some love for our designers because one lucky krafty person is going to WIN a gift card to the shop!

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day TWO of our April Krafty Previews!!!

We are back with another fabulous stamp set to share with you today! Did you enjoy yesterday's awesome previews?


Today we are previewing an adorable new set of images and sentiments by artist, Becky Pearce! Check out all the adorable stamps in this set called WHIMSICAL GNOMES!

There are so many sweet little images that you can put together and mix and match! Plus SIX coordinating sentiments for a total of sixteen fun stamps!

GNOMIES you are all one of a kind...did you know that because you totally are!!! Becky totally outdid herself with this set, don't ya think!!!!!

I choose to use the girl gnome and the little snail with a sentiment - I wanted to really focus on the stamp and sentiment so I stayed to a more clean and simple approach. I also had that cute wooden mushroom I wanted to incorporate.
