It’s called Best Friends and was created by our wonderful artist, Annie Rodrigue! Well, how would YOU like to get one too?!! Beginning today and running only until Friday, October 21^st, each and every order over $75 before shipping and taxes will receive this stamp for FREE!! How about that??!!

Preview 2 of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March Release

Well, I said I'd be back today with another Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps preview card. This time I'm showing one of Annie Rodrigue's fabulous images and there are more. This is Vivienne and she's a sassy little character, don't you think? I just love her feathers, they are fun to colour.

I used Barely Banana for the card base and I used Basic Grey's Lemonade papers to mat onto the base. I coloured Vivienne with my Copics and once again I borrowed my DD Kimmie's new Nesties to cut her out. I added some C. Celery ribbon and some lovely Prima Caboodles, once again from Kimmie's stash as I'm up here staying with her for a few days. I added the sentiment 'Strut Your Stuff', which comes with Vivienne along with another sentiment, 'Shake Your Tail Feathers'.

Be sure and check out the other Krafty Girls blogs, they have some awesome creations to show you and keep checking back in with us all for more previews before the big release and blog hop on Sunday!!

Have a wonderful day,
Diana

Pajama Party!!! ....with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Hello all you stampers out there! Can you believe it's almost time for another release?!! On Sunday, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will have the March Release up and ready to go! We Krafty Girls have been busy little beavers as we will have cards for you to see every day until Sunday, when we will have another fun Blog Hop! As usual, some lucky lady will win free stamps just for leaving a comment on our blogs, so make sure you leave a comment on all our blogs for more chances to win!

The new stamps are fabulous, they just keep getting better and better with each release. We have new images from all three of our amazing artists and you are going to love them! I sure do and they are great fun to play with.

For today's card I used Pajama Party starring Cindy and Mindy. This stamp was illustrated by the very talented Jean Grant. It comes with the sentiment stamp 'Pajama Party'. I used Bashful Blue for the card base and used some yummy Spring Glitter Stack papers by DCWV. I matted a square of one pattern onto some Apricot Appeal, then onto the card base. I added a strip of a coordinating pattern across the front, matted onto some more Bashful Blue with a punched border along the bottom. I borrowed my DD Kimmie's new set of Nesties to cut out Cindy and Mindy after colouring them with Copics and sponging around them with Bashful Blue chalk ink. I finished it off with some Certainly Celery GG Ribbon and some Prima flowers.

Be sure to check all the other Krafty Girls Blogs (the links are in my sidebar) and see what they have created. And come back again tomorrow to see what we have come up with again.

Blessings,
Diana

More Sneaky Peeks!!

Well, does anyone have any guesses as to what the last snippets were? Aren't we a bunch of meanies, teasing you this way?



Here are a couple more itty bits of something for you to ponder over.




We are all working on creations to show you beginning on Friday,(hey, that's the day after tomorrow!!) right until Monday the 5th., which is Kraftin' Kimmie's release day. (Did I tell you she's my daughter? Not bragging or anything!! Ha Ha!!) That's why I am not finding time to make and post any new cards at the moment. Well, none that I can show you anyway!! This is torture for me to make cards and not be able to show them off right away.



Well, not too long now. Kimmie must be so excited she can hardly stand it because I know how excited I am and I'm just a very small part of this wonderful new venture of hers!!

Have a wonderful day,
Blessings,
Diana

First Kimmie Teaser!

Well, hi to all you stampin' and craftin' people out there. I said I'd be back sometime soon with a snippet or two of what's in store from Kraftin' Kimmie's new company next Monday. We Krafty Girls have all been working on some things to show you starting next Friday, the day the countdown starts, so I have a couple of little hints to show you.

Can you figure out what they are? How about some guesses? I don't think I'd have a clue if I didn't know, but happily for me, I do!! Ha! Ha!




Now you just have to wait a few more days. I'm so excited I think I'm gonna bust!!

Back with some more peeks later,

Blessings to you all,

Diana

Pee-ooo!

I have had this image on my desk for a long time and I just love it, but was too lazy to do all that colouring. Well, I finally gave in, especially as I have a friend that it will be perfect for. No, they aren't smelly, they just love animals and live out in the country in the most perfect spot you could ever want to be.

Anyway, as you can see, Tink is causing a bit of squishing up at the other end of the log, but seems to be totally unaware.

I stamped the image with Versafine Black Onyx and coloured with my trusty S.U. markers. I'd love to get into the Copics, but I think they are way out of my budget. I used Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel, added a High Hopes sentiment to go with the High Hopes image, added a couple of flowers and that's it.

Now I also have some very exciting news to tell you. My darling daughter Kim Reid of Kraftin' Kimmie's Korner is starting her own business, with her very own line of stamps!! I'm thrilled to be on her design team of Krafty Girls with some other fantastic stampers! It's so exciting to be helping her to make her dream come true! Hop on over to her blog and congratulate Kimmie!!
