I made this card using some scraps of some festive Bobunny paper I had left over. I stamped the Winter Trinket stamp on just some plain white and if you look closely you can see I added just a tiny bit of Metallic blue ink to the ends of the flourishes. The snowflakes I made using a large Stampin Up die and finished it with a few brads.

Day One of KKS Sneak Peaks.

Welcome to this months Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps release. We're starting the sneak peaks off with our Holiday Trinkets.

I like to keep my Christmas cards sweet and simple as I have so many to make. So what I did was start with some embossing with my CB snowflake embossing folder. I wanted a little bit of colour to make it pop a little so I sponged some Stampin Up Soft Sky around the edges. Still looked like it needed a little some so I added a flourish from Cheery Lynn.

To see more sneak peaks head over to the KKS challenge blog.

Be sure to come back for more sneak peaks tomorrow.

KKS Sneak Peaks Day three...

Today at Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps we are sharing TWO new sets by the totally talented Emilie Goulet!!! They are super cute!! These ghoulish new sets are called TOO CUTE TO SPOOK 1 & 2!! Each set features THREE cute little people and five coordinating and spooky Halloween sentiment stamps!!

I decided to do an 8x8 layout to showcase Emilie's latest creations. The papers are from a multi themed DCWV paper stack that I got ages ago. Kept it very simple to focus on these cute lil fella's and to the pics once I get around to adding them. But anyway have a look...

Thanks for stopping by. :)

KKS Challenge 121 - Recycle

Hello there my Krafty peeps. Today's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps Challenge is to Recycle. Sometimes I do find this challenging to do on a card, but in other craft projects...Not a problem.  I'm ALWAYS saving stuff that I think I can make use of.  I just collect my "treasures" in my cupboard and when I'm hit with some inspiration I go searching through what I've got and usually there's something in there that will work. lol

So for today's challenge I had seen an idea on Pinterest for making use of an old cookie sheet, and then I saw another idea for a weekly Menu Board.  I put the two together...and here's what I came up.

I didn't take pics while I was putting this together but I wanted to show that everything is made with magnets. So if you wanted to move things around,  change up the paper, add some colour to the cookie sheet, all those things are possible. Or you could simply use them as fridge magnets.

All put together we have this.

And a closer look at sweet Lulu.

And if you're wondering what my recycled part was... it is the little boxes.  They were soap boxes!!  
I covered them with some super cute paper that I picked up from Walmart. I made a drippy goo border using my MS punch, then added some ribbon that looked like it was made especially for Chef Lulu.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I know it was a long one this time but I hope you enjoyed my project. I find it helpful with making dinners for the week, and even grocery shopping to use a menu planner.

To see more of this week's KKS challenge visit our challenge blog HERE.

Also the Frugal Friday Sale is now on!!!

Have a great weekend!! :)

Day One of KKS Sneak Peaks...
