Rainy Days

I've been in the studio today, enjoying the cooler weather and rain. We had a nice thunderstorm which sent all the animals into hiding. I pulled out some of my old Stampin' Up! patterned papers to create this cutie:

I created 2 raised layers (been loving that!) with inked edges. I cut the banner, stitched the side of the other patterned paper panel, and dyed-to-match 2 Prima flowers. I added just a little bling to accentuate the triangle design that pleases the eye so well.

I hope you're staying warm and dry, and that you feel inspired to pull out some of your older supplies and show them some love.

Ta for now!

Love Bug

Howdy! I'm saying prayers for all of my friends in the path of Nemo. Wow. What a poor name choice, NOAA. You know, Valentine's day is very near. Do you have your gift ready for your sweetie? I don't have a sweetie this year, so I'm doing my own little treat for myself.

One of the great things about resetting my studio is the rediscovery of images I bought long ago. These poor little bugs were probably dying in the stack of rubber! This is a set from Unity back in 2010. I really need to show all of my older images some daylight.

I hope you are safe and warm wherever you are. I'm looking forward to sharing another project with you very soon!

Ta for now,

Bugging You

Here's a sweet little card for you. It was one of several I made for Splicoast Stampers' virtual stamp night. Do you play along? There are sweet challenges, and loads of love to be shared.

There will be another VSN March 1 and 2, so keep a lookout for the announcement, and come play along!

I can't believe this week is almost over. It's been busy and full, but I still managed a little crafting time. This card is from Gina K Design's 3rd anniversary set. I hope it inspires you to add a little whimsy into your life!

Ta for now,

Monday Monday

It was a fast and furious weekend, capped by a great Super Bowl. I really enjoyed most of the commercials, too, except that Go.Daddy one. Shudder! Eww. Ok, so this will provide some mental floss to get that image out of our minds.

I made this clean and simple card for the Splitcoast Virtual Stamp Night Challenge hosted by Theresa. She had us follow a recipe - 2 birds, 3 types of embellishments, and 4 bright colors! I used the sketch for CAS challenge 204 (also on Splitcoast).

Here's hoping your Monday isn't one of 'those' Mondays. Thanks for stopping by!

Better Late Than Never

Hi all!!

Kim here, again, and today I'm posting a little later than normal.

That's ok, right?

I had this idea in my head for a few days. 

What can I do with all the little scraps of ribbon that are in my mason jar?

The striped panel on the card is just scraps wrapped around a piece of cardstock and secured with ATG tape. Cool idea, right? 

I pulled out my Elzybells stamps to go with the colorful and playful ribbons. 

Hope you are having a great day!

Kim

Love You Forever

Hi all!

Can you believe January is almost over? 

It's time for Valentine cards and lots of pinks and reds.

I want to start out with a CAS and pretty Valentine card. 

It can also be used as a general "I Love You" card for someone you care about.

I don't know what it is about polka dots and white space, but they really make me happy!

Make sure to take some time to pull out your old supplies and create something.

xoxo,

Kim
