Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new JANUARY images! We’re kicking 2011 off with a bang as we have SIXTEEN new stamps for you!!

There are six images in the complete set and they are Abigail Apple, Andrea Acorn, Lily Lemon, Olivia Orange, Rebecca Raspberry and Stella Strawberry! Each one comes with a coordinating accessory stamp AND a bonus sentiment stamp!!

We ALL have baby cards to make every year and this month, Steven Leary has brought us the most adorable BABY images!! There are babies, teddy bears, ducks and a pair of little mice you might know! They are Baby Bubble Bath, Special Delivery, Tiny Miles and Maisie, Buggy Full ‘O Ducks and Teddy Bear Trio!! Two of them also come with matching sentiment stamps!!

Also this month we are excited to be sharing the last five stamps from our past artist, Crissy Armstrong! These stamps are just full of cuddly cuteness! Check out these adorable ANIMALS!! They are Buster the Bulldog, the Froggie Family, Cheeky Monkey, Stripes the Zebra and Tickled Pink Piggies! And each one comes with a coordinating sentiment stamp also!!

We are thrilled to have ALL THREE of our amazing artists joining in the hop today!! If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of stamps from the new release!! And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!

Again we’ve got ‘Gimme Kimmie’s Kits’ for those of you who just HAVE to have all the new images! We’ve grouped each line of stamps together and called them the ‘Gimme Kimmies Kits’!!! Instead of clicking on each image that you’d like, you only have to click once to pick up a Gimme Kimmies Kit AND it’s at a discounted price!! What could be better???

Well, that's all the important stuff covered. As you can imaging, we Krafty Girls have been having a ball playing with all these new images. I haven't played with them all yet, but I'm getting there, I can't leave them alone. I have a couple more cards that I will post later this week.

For my card, I used 'Buggy Full o' Ducks. This is one of Steven Leary's fun images, I love playing with his stamps as you can just make a small card if you want, or you can dress it up and make a 6 x 6 if you want to.

I think this image is so cute, Mama Duck with all her baby ducks in a buggy. You could use this for a baby card or a 'just because' card. I coloured the image on Neenah White cardstock, cut it out with my rectangular nesties, then used the coordinating Scalloped Rectangular Nesties to cut out in Wild Wasabi, which is the colour used for the card base. I used Nana's Nursery Baby Girl papers in the background. The pink piece is matted onto Lavender Lace and the main piece is matted onto Marigold Morning. I added some Wild Wasabi Stitched Ribbon and some Primas attached with a couple of brads and that's it.

Now if you have landed here from the blog of our fabulous Guest Designer Jessica, you are in the right place. From here you go to the blog of our very talented Michele. Don't forget to leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win some NEW Blog Candy. Have fun,

See you again soon,
