Kraftin Kimmie Valentine's Card

I think Kraftin Kimmie stamps are my new favorites! They are so awesome, and fun to color. I rarely color any of them up using pastels, or soft colors, they seem to scream out for brightness, boldness and bling!! Talk about fun!

 

This particular card features Willard, with a bee on his nose. I have kept this card fairly "blingless", as it was made for my son to give to his girlfriend, and he doesn't like it when I make them too "girly". Although, in my defense, she IS a girl, right?! And it IS for her, not him...right?! Anyway, I think it qualifies for this week's challenge, as Willard is carrying a bunch of roses, and there are some blossoms on the paper (an old Basic Grey valentine collection...may even have been just last year).

So thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking. Shirley.

Just Magnolia Challenge #2

So, this week there was no sketch to work with, just the requirement that we use pink and green. No problem. Lots of both of those. So I thought...three of them ended up in the trash before I decided to go with this one. The colors aren't really true, its less harsh than it looks, but its overcast and gloomy here again...although, we did have 25 degree Celsius weather and SUN yesterday. I was out in my garden playing with worms and loving every minute of it!!! Materials: Premade card from Michaels, Basic Grey PP, BoBunny polka dots, Kaiser gems, Cricut Storybook Cartridgeand Lyrical Letters Cartridge, and Tilda is colored with Prismas and gamsol.

Thats it for today. Thanks for stopping by. Shirley.

Just Magnolia Challenge #1

There is a new Challenge Blog just starting up this week called "Just Magnolia". They are giving away an amazing prize this week to celebrate, so I thought I'd give it a try. I love these stamps...they can be done up so many different ways. This is my interpretation of the sketch.

Materials: Bazill CS, Basic Grey PP and pink button, K & Co tag, Prima Hydrangeas, Kaiser flower, homemade felt flower, Kaiser gemstones, dollar store twine, flower lace from my stash, unknown chipboard sentiment from my stash, and Tilda is colored with Prismas and Gamsol.

You should head over to check it out...there are some amazing Design Team cards, as well as lots and lots of entries.

Sorry for the poor quality pics...very rainy and dreary today here in Mossley, hard to get a good pic without any natural light to help.


Thanks again for checking out my site. Shirley.

2S4U--Finally!!

Here is my take on Kazan's sketch this week...pretty simple card...seem to pretty mojo-less these days. All work and no play is never a good thing I guess. I seem to spend a lot of time looking at papers and embellishments, but getting nothing done. This card uses Bazill cardstock, Basic Grey pp (Euphoria), Pink Paislee polka dots, K&Co flowers, Walmart button, AC thickers puffy alphas, and my brand new Fiskars border punch.

A Rachael Anne Miller stamp I recently purchased...so cute...Lexi loves it...so this will probably go to one of her friends. It seems to "cutesy" for an adult.

I made this Easter card for my mom...used one of the Magnolia images sent to me by Carla (thanks so much again Carla)...just never got it posted.

Have a great day, and thanks so much for visiting. Shirley.
