{SPD} Sweet2Repeat Hop- February

Hey there! Today the Sweet Peas from SugarPea Designs are doing a re-cap blog hop of the sets that were released last month! 

I'ved used the set On Target. The image is coloured in copics and I added some Wink of Stella pen here and there. I sponged around the image with Distress Ink. The heart target accent was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with gold powder. I added a metal arrow on top. The sentiment was stamped onto a gold tinted vellum and embossed in black. The sentiment flags are from the SugarCuts set Gift Tag. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

{KKS} Bear Hugs!

\

Welcome to day ONE of our JANUARY Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Today we are excited to share TWO supah cute new sets by artist Cheryl Alger!! We'll be showing you the first set today and the second tomorrow! You enjoyed last month's sets so much that we are continuing with a fabulous theme.....FAIRYTALES!!! We are sharing samples today featuring.......ONCE UPON A TIME 3!!

I coloured up the sweet Goldilocks with my copic markers, adding pencil shading to the image. I applied some glossy accents to her bow, eyes, bear's nose, heart, and her shoes. And then I proceeded to drop and roll my paper-piercer right through the wet shoes (why? There isn't even paper-piercing on my card!! I must have  picked up the dang thing just to drop it....sigh). Freaked out. Reapplied glossy accents. I've had these little button brads forever and never used them. They never seemed to be 'right' for a card until now! I think they totally work for this one!! Love it when that happens!! Paper is by MME, ribbon is SU and dies are MFT.

I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch for my layout.

All the Krafty Girls listed below have lots of super FUN designs to show you, so be sure to hop over to each of them! And while you're there, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away one of EACH of the new sets!!!

{TSG236} Christmas Critters

This week our challenge is brought to us by Vera! She is challenging us to make a card or project with a Christmas theme, but it must include an animal!! Hence the name, Christmas Critters.

I have used my FAVE set of the release 'Merry Christ-moose', combined with the best naughty moose sentiment set of all time 'Nice Rack'. I LURVE this moose trophy head mount, all tangled up in Christmas lights! Too funny! I coloured him up with copics, adding spica pens (silver, lipstick and melon) to the lights and coating them in glossy accents, as well as his eyes.
The sentiment was stamped on the smallest banner from the Just For You die set.
The layout is Mojo 321.

{KKS} New Release Hop

For tonights hop, I've made two cards! The first one is from the set You're So Tweet from Thais Narciso. I love this trio of feathered friends! I added a few MFT dies and a OA button tied with MFT hemp. I added clear rock candy glitter to the snow on the branch and bits and pieces of the birds.

For my second card, I used Snow Much Fun from artist Rachelle Ann Miller. Again, coloured with Copics, more clear rock candy glitter and Glossy Accents. I added some enamel dots and hemp cord. A bit of sponge distressing and machine stitching gives the card a vintage feel. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

All of the new stamps are available in the KKS store now!!! 

{TSG} Halloween Tags BHC!

Another SUPER fun set from Melyssa, one that will get you ready for all your Halloween gift giving ideas!! Not only is it a PERFECT tag set, the sentiments and image could be used for cards, scrapbooking, and anything else you desired!

Halloween Tags is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 19 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

I've used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch for my layout. I fussy cut the frame out (which I stamped onto grey dot DP) but there will be a Silhouette cut file available for purchase on release day, for you Silhouette users! I stamped the frame and sentiment again onto white CS and cut out only the centre, laying it over the dp frame with pop dots. The flag dies are MFT. I did some machine stitching in black thread and dry embossing with a SU folder.

{Tiddly Inks} Birthday Bash!

Have you heard the news??!! I was selected to be one of the newest members of the Tiddly Inks Design Team! I tried out this past month for their open call and LET ME TELL YOU, there were some amazingly talented women who submitted cards!!!!!! I really was not banking on being chosen with the serious competition and am so honoured and humbled to have been asked! Christy Croll is an amazing illustrator and seems like a pretty cool chick to boot, and the rest of the team has been so welcoming! I look forward to getting to know the team better, as well as TI fans!! I am still pretty new to Tiddly Inks but so far I am LOVING this company :D

Our challenge this week is BiRtHdAy BaSh!!! I had lots of fun making this sweet birthday card using Wryn Birthday Girl (I {HEART} Wryn!!)

I used this weeks MOJO sketch #305 (it's a prize week! whoop!) for my layout. The little sentiment oval comes with the Wryn digi, so that went perfectly with the sketch! Everything is coloured with copics and I added some distress sponging and machine stitching to the main image panel. I also added some jumbo black brads and SU black satin ribbon.

Check out what the other Tiddly Inkers have created for you on the TI Blog....all of the details on the challenge can be found HERE.

Christy is such a doll, and as a thank-you to all of the many talented crafters that tried out for the call and all of the support from her customers and fans, she is offering the most FREAKIN' ADORABLE witch around at a special discount price of only $1!!! Here's a peak at Spell on Ya (<-- click="" font="" nbsp="" purchase="" to="">
EEK!! Isn't she so sweet!! I love Halloween and I love Wryn, so this has me excited! I can't wait to use her :)

{Tiddly Inks} Happy Birthday Cowgirl!

Hey there! Long time, no blog! I've been on holidays for the past 2 weeks, so all of my posts you have been seeing (which haven't been too many) have been pre-scheduled. I decided to whip up a card for the Tiddly Inks design team call (you can find all the info HERE). I printed off some digi's before I left and coloured up a few during the long hours on the highway! All I had to do today was put the card together :) I think TI *might* be my newest obsession!!! 

I used Howdy Cowgirl, printed her onto X-press Blending stock and coloured with copics and pastels. I used some new cowgirl Carta Bella paper, SU! CS, MFT twine and dies and did a little sponging and stitching! I love the little rolls of barbed wire around the rose! So country-chic ;)

My LO is the current MOJO Monday Sketch (MOJO303).

Here's the inside. I used stamps by MFT (Howdy), SU and MFT ink.

Thanks for stopping by! Best of luck to all who are applying! I just checked out my competition and it is STEEP!!!! lol

{KKS186} Guns 'n Roses!

It's the weekend! Hope everyone had a Happy Canada Day and Fabulous Fourth of July this week, depending on where you hang your hat and call home! We had a really fun long weekend here in Alberta, camping out and hitting up some fun Canada Day festivities with the family! We had a whole gang of us (my parents, one of my brothers, his wife and their 3 kids, my cousin and her hubby, my aunt and uncle, and of course me and my hubby and our 3 boys). So much food, fun and sun! Temperatures were +35* celsius!!! OMG. Hot! Our trailer felt like it was parked in the depths of H, E, double-hockey-sticks!!! Glad for a few 'cooler' days this week!!

This week we have a fun challenge from Diana, from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I think maybe Diana is a die-hard GNR fan, by the title of her challenge ;) To play, all you have to do is use metal and flowers on your card- guns and roses!

Here is my card, featuring Lucas from the set Let's Dish the Dirt.

Close-up:

I coloured the image with copics, adding clear glaze pen (sakura) to the flowers here and there. My metal element on this card is obviously brads. I used various MFT dies (flowers, fishtail flags, circle). CS is MFT (lemon drop) and SU. The image is stamped on x-press it blending card in memento ink. The sentiment was stamped in MFT's black licorice. DP is by Echo Park.

I've also used this week's Mojo sketch- KKS is sponsoring, as well as a schwak of other awesome companies, so check it out! LOADS of prizes to be had!
