It's so exciting to see so many of you creating with KKS!!! Keep them coming! (Don't forget that you need to use a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp in order to qualify for the blog candy!)

This week our hostess is SANDIE!! And her challenge is Heat or Dry Embossing!!

Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN some Kraftin' Kimmie rubbah!!! 


I had coloured Missy from ages ago, so long ago that the poor girl is retired now. Must have been all that dancing. lol Anyway I wanted to try and make her work for this embossing challenge in some way. So I used a sizzix die for the music notes and then embossed some small circles onto them, and then also for the sentiment which is from the Every day Trinkets set I embossed it with the spellbinder. Both of which are probably very hard to see, but they're there!!

Don't forget....this is your last chance to scoop up our April Gimme Kimmies Kits! ALSO this weekend's Frugal Friday Specials are available.....six stamps/sets on for 30-50% OFF!! AND we'll be saying goodbye to some of the highly requested Retired stamps soon!

Check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls featuring this week's challenge!! If you join us and play along, you could WIN a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!!

Happy kraftin'!!
