Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps sneaky peeky day 3- featuring Annie's 50's inspired images

Yo, wat's up? Okay that's all the cool talk I know. I am not really a cool cat so I am not hip to the jive on the latest cool sayings, word? There is a couple decades of saying mashed into one sentence lol!

Today's release we are showing off Annie's 50's inspired images. This is Danny (aka Arthur Fonzerelli to me). I coloured him up with my copics and used a larger spectrum of colours to try and create the shine that the motorcycle would have in real life. I am happy with the result! He is the PERFECT image for all my nephew's cards as the older ones are into motorcycles, fast cars, etc. Thankfully for this poor Auntie's heart they are still a couple years away from being able to drive any of them!

I am a sucker for 50's images- you should see what else Annie drew for this Kraftin' Kimmie stamps release! To check out all the cool cards sharing Annie's work today head on over to the KKS challenge blog.

Cheers, Andi

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps sneaky peeky again- this time Miles is in town!

Today's sneaky peeky is featuring the loveable Miles. On my card I used Rainy Day Miles as I just can't resist a cute critter in wellies! All the Kraftin' Kimmie stamps Krafty Girls who are sharing peeks today are also using Steven's images so Miles is all over the web today! For more critter cuteness hop over to the challenge blog and see what else that Miles is doing this month. In fact he may have some other new friends for you to meet this month!

Cheers! Andi

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps sneak peeks- Introducing Krafty Quotes!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has become known for their sweet, whimsical images that are so much fun to colour with markers, pencils and watercolours! But this month we are launching a new line of stamps that are headed in a different direction!

Today Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is debuting a new line of stamps that will appeal to both scrappers and stampers alike! The sets are called 'Krafty Quotes'!! Each month we'll be releasing a new set and each set will have four quotes which are larger in size than your average word stamps. These gorgeous sentiments are perfect to accent your scrapbook pages, your main card images or to become the focal point of your design!

This month, Krafty Quotes #1 features quotes from Audrey Hepburn, Louisa May Alcott, Lucille Ball and Mother Teresa!! To see more samples hop on over to the challenge blog and see what the DT has created! Cheers, Andi



High Hopes Stamps is making Valentines!

You have probably heard me say this a bajillion times but I love making Valentine's day cards! I am not into gifts for that day or anything but it is one of the few times a year when it is acceptable to pair Pink and Red together. Which I love. And I am not ashamed to admit it lol. Joining me on this pink and red creation is the super cute doggy valentine- 'No bones doggy'.

So you may be wondering- 'Hey Andrea- I thought your guest DT for HHS was over'. You would be correct. My guest spot ended and they offered me a permanent spot- yippee!!!!! Congrats also to Tanya and Kristine as they were my fellow guest DT members and they are also staying on. A warm welcome to Cathy and Alie and one of my fave artists Anna as they are our new guest DT members!

Want more Valentine eye candy? Hop on over to the HHS Challenge blog to see the DT's creations and also how you can play along with us and get in the mood for love.

Cheers! Andi

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is seeing Red....

This week's challenge over at the KKS Challenge blog is to use the colour RED in your creation. As I enjoy making Valentine's day projects this was easy peasy for me! I used some new My Mind's Eye papers that are a gorgeous kraft, black and red and then Raychel popped out of my stamp storage tray and confessed how she ADORES Paris and really wanted to be part of this card. I just couldn't resist those cupid's bow lips and agreed she would be perfect!

My first picture is just of the card with very little editing and the second image is Raychel with some vintage tints and fade added to help enhance the vintage look I was going for. I can't resist those photo textures sometimes! I figure it's only fair to show the card in it's 'normal' state as well though hee hee!

Well I am off to help Ms. Kimmie herself celebrate her big birthday! I get to hang out with lots of the krafty girls and colour the day away. And eat an insane amount of food I bet! Before starting your day head on over to the KKS challenge blog and see more red creations. Cheers! Andi

A new High Hopes card that "Toad-ally" rocks!

I am in love with a toad. I never thought it would happen but here I am. Can you blame me? I made this card for this month's SGD card kits. You get everything you need to make 3 copies of the card above plus 3 more cards in a different layout and colours. I also used the Martha Steward double scallop punch to create my ruffles. Click here to see more. But back to this card....I might give it to myself- is that too weird? Aren't we told to love ourselves so we can have more love to give others? Is that good enough justification hee hee?

Sorry, I would love to chat more but me and this guy have some more snuggling to do ;P. Andi
