Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #109~Tag You're It!

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and this time we are challenging you to make a TAG!!!  This challenge is right up my alley because I LOVE making tags:)  You can also incorporate a tag onto a card, etc. 

For my tag I used this adorable image named Willard.  This poor little dude just looks so cold doesn't he?  He needs to head on down here to Florida and thaw out a little bit:)  I used Nestabilities Labels 8 for the base of my tag, and embossed it with the CB D'vine Swirls embossing folder.  I added a Nestie Oval, and sponged it with PTI Aqua Mist.  I then embossed the oval with the CB Snowflake EF.  The sentiment comes with this image. 

We hope you'll play along!  The prize for this challenge is this awesome image:

Cutthroat Lizzie!  Just link your Tag creations to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog HERE! 

Also, the TWELVE KRAFTY DAYS OF KHRISTMAS CELEBRATION is going on!  Each day Kimmie is posting a few of her favourite creations from the Krafty Girls and Guests from one of the releases!! AND everyone who comments on the post is eligible to WIN some rubber goodness from that release!!! How does that sound??? Pretty good???!

Hello! I can't believe that this is the end of my term at ABC Toys and Crafts! I want to say a big Thank You to Julie for letting me play with her wonderful products over the last few months:)


For my card today, I used this adorable set from Hero Arts once again called Holiday Dolls. I stamped the doll with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I stamped the sentiment with SU Chocolate Chip and cut it out with Rectangle Nestabilities. I layered them onto some My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas dp that I cut with my Circle Nestabilities. I cut a pretty border with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch and added some Martha Stewart punched snowflakes.

Birthday Josh, My Trip to the ER, and Kraftin' Kimmie News!

Hello!  I'm just getting this in under the wire for the current Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #68~Team Oliver vs Team Josh!  I've been dying to play along, because not only am I a huge Twilight fan, but Josh is my favorite SCRS character!  No offense to Oliver, because he is a total cutie too :)  I used Birthday Josh for my card, along with some Echo Park Paper Co. Season's Greetings and some My Mind's Eye Life of the Party dp.  The sentiment comes from the PTI set Butterfly Dreams. 

So I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family, and my best friend and I were out Black Friday shopping all night long!  I left the house at 9:40 pm Thanksgiving night and returned home at 7:30 am Friday morning.  Boy was I POOPED, but I got some great deals:)  Friday I slept for half of the day, and then got up and helped my hubby get our Christmas decorations up. 

Yesterday was my little one's 4th birthday, so my parents came down and we had plans to take him to lunch and to a movie.  I woke up yesterday feeling a little wierd.  I had some lower abdominal pain, and was feeling a little like I might have a UTI.  I didn't think too much of it, but as I was getting ready I started feeling worse and worse.  I didn't want to ruin my little man's birthday so I was hoping it would pass. 

We all piled into the car to head for lunch and I could not get comfortable.  The pain had spread to my right kidney and I was sweating and feeling nauseous.  My mom said you'd better stop at the urgent care clinic, so we did and as we were waiting the pain got REALLY BAD!  They checked my urine which was positive for blood but nothing else.  The doctor said, you'd better go to the ER.  I was on the verge of tears all the way to the hospital and I could not stop moving and changing positions in the car.  I was so nauseous and in so much pain!  I knew at this point it had to be a kidney stone. 

There was a huge wait at the ER so we waited for about 30 minutes until somebody called me up to ask what was going on.  I was in so much pain I couldn't even sit down, I was just pacing and moaning.  My blood pressure was 168/92 so they decided to move me ahead of a few people and take me back.  I wasn't in the back for 5 minutes when suddenly the pain subsided!  Thank goodness because it took an hour for them to get me into the CT scan and 30 more minutes after that for the doctor to come talk to me.  It was a kidney stone, and it had made it's way down my ureter and was almost to my bladder which meant that the pain should be over.  I didn't have any more stones in my kidneys THANK GOODNESS!  I don't ever want to go through that again, because it was worse than labor and I've had 2 natural deliveries!!! 

Today I feel pretty normal:)  Well, if you read all that, thanks for hanging in.  I just wanted to share my big adventure.  We did get out of the ER in time to hit a later show with the birthday boy, and next weekend we're taking the kids to Legoland since he didn't have an official party this year. 

Onto some Kraftin' Kimmie News!  I'm a little late getting this posted but it's been a pretty crazy few days!

Kraftin Kimmie is thrilled to be featured with a full page in the Winter Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and Kimmie has a HUGE Giveaway which you can read about HERE!

Also, virtually EVERYTHING is on SALE 25-75% OFF at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!! That's right!!! This is the BIGGEST sale they've ever had and aren't likely to repeat it anytime soon!! So take advantage while you can!!  I sure did!  Sale ends tomorrow!!!

So Thankful!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the U.S.! I made a fun little Thanksgiving card for a good friend of mine using this adorable set from Hero Arts called So Thankful. I stamped this cutie with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I used a combination of Crate Paper and Jillibean Soup dp's and added some embossing to the white panel with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I have to admit that I almost dropped the ball on this week's theme~Martha Stewart Punches, but I added this darling little leaf and I think it makes the perfect accent:)

I hope you have a wonderful day with your friends and family! Don't forget to check out the specials going on right now at ABC Toys and Crafts and maybe you can check a few people off your holiday list!  Thanks for stopping by!

Season's Greetings

Hello!  I just couldn't wait to play with this adorable new digi image from Tickled Pink Stamps called Tickled Winter Little Lolita Evie~So CUTE!!!  I decided to play along with this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge#46 which is a fabulous sketch by Kellie.  I used some Echo Park Paper Co. Holly Jolly Christmas dp and a sentiment from the PTI set Signature Christmas. 

Well, my daughter had her last meet of the season yesterday which was the Florida State Championships.  Can you believe that she placed 2nd all around in her age group?  We were soooooo proud of her!!!  She was pretty proud of herself too:)  Here's a quick pic:

Hello! For the next couple of weeks the ABC Toys and Crafts DT is showing off My Cute Stamps images on the DT Blog.  Julie sent me this whimsical set called Miss You, and I thought it would be perfect for a thank you card that I needed to make. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with Copics. I stamped the butterfly twice so I could cut out the wings and pop them up. I cut the images out with Circle Nestabilities and added some sponging and stitching. The sentiment and tag are from PTI~Tiny Tags, and the pretty dp is My Mind's Eye Six by Six~Vanity Fair.



All My Cute Stamp Sets are on sale HERE!!!

Color Throwdown #168~Ornamental Christmas

Hello!  It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge, and the fabulous Keva is our hostess this week.  I really love this color combo!  Here is my card:

I used this gorgeous ornament from the Verve set Ornamental Christmas along with a mix of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found dp~Union Square and Sunshine.  I stamped my ornament with SU Basic Gray and colored with Copics.  I then added some small rhinestones to the snowflakes.  I cut the image out with Circle Nestabilities and layered on top of a doily cut with my MFT Decorative Doily Duo Die-namics.  The gray shape was cut with Nestabilities Labels Sixteen.  I followed the Viva La Verve November Week 2 Sketch for my layout.  

We hope you'll join us this week!  Just link your card to the Color Throwdown Blog HERE!

Wish and Tickled Pink Stamps Guest DT Call

Hello!  How is the start of your week going so far?  I'm trying to get back into going to the gym since summer and my surgery.  WHOA, it's amazing how fast we fall out of shape, and I can tell I am going to be SORE tomorrow (and the next day, and the day after that...). 

Anyway, I was super excited when I saw on the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog that they are having a Guest DT call, because being a Pink Lady is one of my dream gigs!!!  I had just finished this card for a friend of mine who wanted a cute and sassy birthday card for her teenage daughter.  Since I adore Lil' Lolita images, I immediately thought of this adorable gal~Lil' Fashionette 60's Ivy~don't you just love her?!  I paired her with some My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky dp and a sentiment from the PTI set Tiny Tags. 

Here is another one of my favorite cards using these images:

Isn't Witch Lylah the sassiest witch ever?!?  LOVE!  Well, wish me luck!!!  I REALLY want to work with these awesome images!!!
