Happy Saturday!!!

Back again this lovely Saturday with another challenge from Crazy4Challenges!!!

This week we were asked to make a card of a place that brings us joy!

On my card I used two stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called Sandy Toes and The Ocean Background. Hopefully you find this place as relaxing as I do!

Hope you can play along with us!

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!!

Welcome to another Crazy4Challenge's Saturday post. July is National Hot Dog Month, probably due to the number of picnics that occur at this time of year. Our Challenge this week was to have a picnic connection on our card.

I used some super cute Doodlebug paper on my card and an older stamp by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called Chase your Dreams.

Hope you can play along with us this week!

Our challenge this Saturday was to create a stamped background. From this set I used the star image and the "star" sentiment to create the background.

Kraftin' Kimme Previews - Day One

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day ONE of our JULY Krafty Previews!!!

Welcome to the very first day of our Krafty Peeks for the fabulous new July release of clear stamps!! The theme is totally MAGICAL!

Today we are sharing TWO wicked new stamp sets by artist Annie Rodrigue!! The first is a hauntingly cute witch called WITCH WANDA! This 4x4 clear stamp set comes with the sassy main image PLUS three fun coordinating sentiments!

The second set features another silly little witch called WITCH WILLA! This 4x4 set comes with the sweet main image PLUS five coordinating sentiments!

Hey all - I choose to use WITCH WANDA on my card today. I used paper by Authentique (Moonlit), Tim Holtz Halloween ribbon and black distress ink, enamel dots, and of course glitter and sequins.

Here is the really cool part on my card. I stamped the image twice and used the bottom image so that the mirror looked 3D and I also made it a shaker.

I also did the inside of the card - I stamped just Wanda and one of the sentiments.

You'll see both of these fun stamp sets featured by our amazing Krafty Girl Design Team and Guest in today's blog hop!

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C343

Hi Everyone!!!

I am really excited to be a guest designer this month with Crazy4Challenges!!!! The girls there have been super welcoming and I am so glad to be a part of the 5 challenges happening this month.

This month's challenges come from Joanne! She says that one of her favorite places on Earth is Nubble Light, a beautiful lighthouse in York, Maine. This week, let’s honor lighthouses on our cards. If for some reason you do not have a lighthouse image, then create an ocean scene.

I chose to use a lighthouse on my card which I cut out using my Silhouette.

On my card I used an image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called Ahoy, Sailor! The paper I used is by Doodlebug called Anchors Aweigh! Super cute! other embellishments I used were twine and on the inside of the card I used a Maya Roads Anchor.

Cheers.
