A totally WICKED sneak peek with a challenge on the side...

I'm having major Blogger problems today....for some reason my whole post disappeared, so here's my 2nd attempt....

Welcome to another fabulous Sneek Peek for Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!  Today we're giving peeks of an amazing new Wizard of Oz inspired stamps by Annie Rodrigue!  I'm totally in LOVE with is release in particular!  Anyone who knows me well knows that The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favourite movies!  As a child, whenever we had a get together with family, which was often, this movie was ALWAYS in the vcr...And being the oldest of 13 cousins I was usually the last one 'standing'...I soaked it up every time!  I even made (well begged) my husband to take me to the movie theatre when they re-released it about 10 years ago....what a trooper...while he caught up on some sleep I loved every minute of it!  I've also read the book Wicked and recently saw the play which was awesome!  Anyway I could go on and on so I'll spare you some time today lol!

For my sneek peek today, I chose to use the Wicked Witch of the West, terribly misunderstood (depending on if you've read the book..hehe wink)...but one of my favourite characters!  I coloured her with copics and paper pieced her dress and hat and decided it was time to part with some of that wonderful Wizard of Oz dp from Graphic 45.  She comes with the cute sentiment too!

There's also a Sketch Challenge going on today, here it is if you would like to play along.  You could win some Krafty rubber!  What a great sketch!!!

So make sure you check out what the fabulous Krafty Girls have to show you, you will love this release which will be available for purchase tomorrow!  I'll be back with another card for the big Release Blog Hop tomorrow too!  Hope to see you!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you're having a great weekend! Today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, we have a challenge AND another fabulous sneek peek for you! Today's challenge is a sketch from Krafty Girl Pam! I love sketch challenges, they take all the guess work out of having to come up with a layout on your own! Make sure you play along with us and upload your project HERE, for your chance to win some Krafty Rubber!!! Now, onto the new release stamps from Annie Rodrigue! Today I'm showing you Missy! She is one of several new girlie girls from this months release! Here is my card using the above sketch:

Close up of the image:
I love her 'retro' looking headphones and how she's dancing away to some tunes on her Ipod. Her outfit screamed 80's to me so I chose some appropriate colours to suit the decade, coloured her with my copics and picked some dp to match. I finished off the sketch with some green brads and it was done in a flash!Make sure you leave your comments as you check out the Krafty Girls' blogs, you could win some stamps from the new release! Woohoo!

Get Sketchy with us....

Today's challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is a fabulous SKETCH!!!! Our super talented Krafty Girl Michele has created another one of her amazing layouts:

For my card today I used Noelle! Isn't she the sweetest with the sparkly candy cane dress and all?

I followed the sketch as closely as I could and coloured her up with my copics. Actually I coloured her up last Saturday during one of the demo's we did at Scrapfest. I'm surprised she made it home in one peice! It took me a while but I found some dp in my stash by My Minds Eye that matched the colours I used. I added lots of Stardust Stickles to her dress, I had to take a picture up close of the stickles cause I looooove them so much!!!! I also added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to the candycanes to make them look shiny. Those pink jewel brads are from the Paper Studio (Spare Parts line).

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Krafty Girls have to show you, and if you play along you'll get the chance to win Christmas Clara, the brand new stamp that Michele used on her card!

I wish you all a fantastic weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

It's Sketch Time!

Welcome to another Saturday Challenge with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have a fantastic sketch by our super talented Michele!

I used Lillith for my card, as she is one of my very favourite KK Stamps! She was coloured using copics, then cut with my "rectangle" nestabilities. I can't remember who the heart dp is by, but the green gingham is from Martha Stewart. I tried to follow the sketch as closely as possible. I got that cute little heart charm from The Town Scrapper! I chose to leave off the sentiment so it could be used for any occasion!

So if you want a chance to win some Krafty Rubber just play along with us this week!

Also, get ready 'cause next week is the big September Release!!! Woo Hoo!

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I decided to use Back to School Landon AND Lucy for my card! These little cuties are the new August release for Claudia & Co. Stamps and can be found HERE. I stamped them side by side, like twins or two best buddies going back to school. I paper pieced their outfits to match with matching dp which I got from DCRU. I love their 6x6 paper packs!
