Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday challenge and the last one for January!! And as always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!

Your submission must use at least one Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp but 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 Tuesday, February 4th when the winner for January will be announced!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

I've used one of our fabulous Trinkets on my card today from a set called Everyday Trinkets.  These simple stamps can add an unexpected sentiment to a fabulous image or become the focal point of a quick and easy card.  So very versatile.  Find all of the Trinkets and TONS of wonderful images in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Wonderful Wednesday Share to Win challenge with other challenges, BUT not our regular weekly challenges. This must be a new and different creation than anything you create for our Saturday challenges.

Stay Krafty!

Shake Your Booty by Art Impressions!

Hey, all!  Welcome back!  I'm coming at ya today with a Christmas card.  Yep, you read that right.  Now, before you start pelting me with ink pads, hear me out, will ya?  

I don't know about you, but when the holidays roll around, there is just never enough time to get everything on my "To Do" list taken care of including holiday cards.  The "busy"ness of the season overwhelms me and invariably I find myself eliminating tasks I can't make happen.  The handmade Christmas Card item usually ALWAYS falls into that dismal undertaking.  Sure, I feel terrible about it, but what's a girl to do?  

This year, I decide to try a different approach.  I'm going to keep my Christmas Card list short and sweet.  AND I'm going to create one Christmas card each month.  By the time December rears it's tinsel covered head, I'll be 12 cards in...ideally.  

For my January Christmas card, I opted to use one of the Shake Your Booty stamps by Art Impressions, the Santa Shake Set.  Add an Action Wobble and you've got a cutie patootie card with some sass.  Check out all of the fab stamp designs in the Art Impressions Shop and be sure and visit the Art Impressions Blog for daily inspiration and bi-weeky challenges.  Fun, fun, FUN!

Okay, I better "shake" a leg ;)  Until next time, stay crafty!

Trip's Ahoy Challenge at Art Impressions!

Hey, everybody!  I'm back sharing a new challenge starting today on the Art Impressions Blog. The theme is Trips Ahoy and and we are asking you to share your travel or nautical themed creations. 

The Girlfriend line makes me giggle.  I just love them so much!  This foursome always looks like they are having the best time, so it would stand to reason that they would go on a girls "getaway".  I'm thinking a swanky weekend in New York City a la Sex and the City style.  You know, maybe pop into a trendy lounge with a one word name like "lib-a-shuns" for Cosmopolitans.  Then off to catch the hottest broadway show, "Sing Speak Act Dance" starring Harry Connick, Jr. and Queen Latifa.  Followed by a very posh late night dinner in a hard to get into restaurant, also a one word name, but an added edgy attitude, something like "grub" (all lowercase is really "in" right now).  BUT, these gals like to have fun, so the evening would not end there...perhaps more drinks at an equally trendy bar called "high octane" (oops, two words, but all lowercase, so it's still in).  And finally, dancing at a new place called "FROLIC" (lowercase is so 15 minutes ago).  Whoa!  I'm exhausted!  These ladies are wearing me out!  LOL! 

You can find your own "getaway" gals in the Art Impressions Shop under their real name, Uptown Girls (#4129).  Be sure and enter the latest challenge, you have 2-weeks to get your entry in.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'll see you later with another post.  Stay Crafty!

Looks like I need glasses!

Hey all!  I'm back today with a card featuring Celeste by Art Impressions.  Unfortunately, I'm feeling under the weather so I'm going to keep this super brief.  The bed is calling my name and I plan on getting 12 hours of sleep tonight.  I'm sure that is the exactly what I need.    

Be sure to visit the Art Impressions blog for daily inspiration from the Design Team.  Also, you'll find  Celeste (#4326) plus lots of other fabulous images in the Art Impressions shop, so be sure to head over there after you leave here.  

Okay, with that, I recommend you follow Celeste's advice and approach growing older with glasses...LOTS and LOTs of glasses!  LOL!

Stay crafty!

Use Your Stash Challenge at Art Impressionsss

Hey, all!  Just poppin' in to remind you that there's still plenty of time to join the Use Your Stash challenge at Art Impressions!  Grab something that's been sitting on a shelf, neglected; combine it with one of our fabulous Ai images and work your magic.  

My stash item, you ask?  Well, it's really a tad embarrassing, but my item is my Ai stamped image.  Yep, this beautiful quartet of sunbathers has been hibernating in my craft room for almost a year.  What a crime!  Unfortunately, it's not the only one.  I must have hundreds of stamps that have never seen ink.  Do you have the same problem?  Apparently, I am Quick Draw McGraw with the credit card and am able to shop faster than I am able to craft a card.

This ridiculously wonderful image makes my day.  I imagine me and my best girlfriends doing this very thing when we hit middle age.  Shoot, I forgot...I'm already middle aged...LOL!  Anyway, this darling image is called Girlfriends (#U3573) and is available in the Art Impressions shop.  By the way, a wonderfully thoughtful friend of mine made me a birthday card last year using this very same image.  Totally makes me smile every time I see it :)  

Okay, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab a little something from your stash that's been sitting and waiting for some attention.  It could be a tool that you couldn't live without, a crazy cool stamp that you fell in love with, that package of embellies that's now covered in dust, or that die that you snagged at a bargain price so you bought one for you and one for your crafting buddy.  Whatever the case me be, take it out of the package and use it, then share the results with us at Art Impressions.  Visit this link to get all the details!

Okey dokey, I'm out!  Until next time, stay crafty!
