Kraftin' Kimmie's January Release and Hop!!

Do YOU know what day it is???  It’s Krafty RELEASE Day and it’s our first release of the year!!  Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is kicking off 2012 by releasing their new JANUARY stamps and there’s SO much gorgeousness to SEE!! 

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of FUN new stamps for you to get inky with!  We’ve got something for everyone!! There is a fun new SET introducing a sweet little character by Cheryl Alger for the little ladies in your life!!  It’s called LOVELY LULU!  We also have TWO fantastic sets of purrrr-fect images from Emilie Goulet called KITTY KAPERS 1 and KITTY KAPERS 2!!!  And of course we have an amazing new set of six GORGEOUS GODDESSES stamps from Annie Rodrigue!  PLUS we are also releasing a sassy coordinating set of GODDESS SENTIMENTS!!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our JANUARY Krafty Hop!  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 these incredible 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! 

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!!  (You’ve been buying presents for everyone else all month long….don’t you think it’s time to reward your krafty self a little bit??!! ) The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

Well folks, I know I have been MIA for quite some time, at least it sure seems that way.  We all had almost 3 weeks off over Christmas and the New Year, but I have not been on here much as my husband and I are working on our house and it doesn't leave me much time for crafting.

However, I am so sorry to have missed playing with so many of the gorgeous new stamps, I will get to them as time allows.  I did manage to make a card for the hop and I have used the dancing kitty from Kitty Kapers 1.  Isn't he or she the cutest?  I had so much fun with this one.  I used some very cute Max and Whiskers paper from Basic Grey and of course took my colours for kitty from that.  The card base and all the matting is Early Espresso.  I added some dark brown grosgrain ribbon and a little orange button with some brown linen thread in it.

Now to the fun part, the hop!!  If you have come here from the blog of the fantastic 'new girl' Sharon, you are where you should be.  From here you will go to Pam's equally gorgeous blog.  Wow, what a pair to be sandwiched between, that's scary.  We sure have some truly amazing new DT members, their work is so exceptional.  We are so blessed to have them all join us.

Now be sure to leave comments at all the blogs as some lucky stampers are going to win some of the newly released stamps.  How cool is that?

I hope to be back in full (well, at least partial) swing before too long.
Happy Stamping,
Diana
