with the theme of Bugs and Insects.  
No need to be afraid - bugs and insects can be quite cute -
like this little fella - take a look:

I've had this lovey bee colored up for quite some time
just sitting on my craft desk waiting to be put on a card.

classes at Kit and Clowder and I can now see that 
my shading is a bit off (but at least it's consistently off) - lol!

Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Peek - Words of Inspiration and Anything Goes Challenge

Hello krafty friends and followers!
Today is Day FOUR of the Kraftin' Kimmie January Peeks.
I hope you've been having as much fun as I have
with the new release peeks so far.

It's also an Anything Goes Challenge from our challenge hostess JENNY!  
You can create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with any stamp
but if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp you'll double your chances to WIN!!
Use any sketch, any design, any embellishments because Anything Goes!
We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN
a $10 Gift Certificate to use on ANYTHING you want in the shop!!

So let's get to showing you this INSPIRING new set by artist Becky Pearce.
I just know it's going to inspire you in soooo many ways.
This set includes NINE lovely sentiments - take a look!

AMAZING right????!!!

I have two cards to share with you using 
one of the sentiments from this fabulous NEW Release.
and here is the second

I found this great paper and wooden accents at
my local craft store and knew instantly that this 
was perfect for what I had in mind for that sentiment.

I went vintage with both of these cards.
I feel like one of these has a more masculine look
and the other (first) has a more feminine appeal. 
Although vintage is not usually my go-to style, I love 
to occasionally pull out my distressing tool and 
ink up the edges for a change of pace. 
I've been challenging myself to make more cards 
in styles I don't use very often - such as vintage and CAS
and techniques such as special folds and mixed media
 (working up my courage on this one still).

I am entering my cards in the following challenges:
Fusion  - my inspiration is the wooden aspect

Papertake Weekly - It's All New
Sister Act Card Challenges #89 - Anything Goes

Are you planning to join us for our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!! 
The FUN and EXCITEMENT and PRIZES start TONIGHT beginning at 6pm EST!! 
Hope you can come hang out with us!

Below is a listing of all the Krafty Girls and Guests creations using this set.
Leave some love (comment) while you're hopping around because 
Kimmie is giving away a gift card and YOU could WIN 
some Krafty $$$ to spend at the shop!!!! 
{This winner will be announced at the party tomorrow!}
Happy hoppin'!
Thanks so much for visiting me today! Hugs D

Green Goth Maiden - Kit and Clowder Colouring Challenge

Hello friends hope each of you are doing well!
I'm back today to share a card I made
using a GORGEOUS freebie that was offered
by Chin-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps called Green Goth Maiden
for the Colouring Competition at Kit and Clowder.

Some of you know that I have taken some of 
Alyce's coloring classes to be better at skin and hair
techniques.  Boy am I sure glad that I have because
this beauty would not have turned out so pretty
if I hadn't learned these skills.  Now I just need to 
finish what I started - LOL. 

Part of the coloring challenge is to use
the colors that I have in my creation below  
Take a look if you wish :o)

I have a feeling that you might be seeing more of this 
image from me as I had a lot of fun coloring her up :o)
I used up some of my paper stash 
and the purple flowers came from a sweet
lady in a card swap.  This is my first time trying to 
wrap the wire for stems.  I think I need a bit more
practice but it's not awful :o)

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Through the Purple Haze challenge blog #73 
"Anything New to You"
Sweet Stamping Challenge Blog - Girly but no Pink
Hello there, stampy friends!  The beautiful Barbara designed this week's fabulous sketch.  Who's in?

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!
