KKS Challenge #520 - all for the boys

   

It is time for another Saturday Challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

our hostess Anna's theme is 

All for the boys.

Great timing as I had to make a card for my son's 31st birthday!

I used  the following stamp sets to create my scene:

It's a mystery Neda Sadreddin

     Caroling Cuties , also by Neda Sadreddin

for the lamp post.

IMages were stamped on Bristol Velum with  Party Peach Ink to be colored in the no line technique, with Polychromos crayons.

The wall background was designed with the Brick Wall stencil inTotally Taupe and Granite Grey inks. I used Yummy Yellow, Creamy Caramel and Wicked Black around the image, along with stickles.

Mes images sont imprimées avec l'encre Party peach sur Bristol Velin, parfaite pour la technique sans ligne, et coloriées avec les Polychoromos.

J'ai utilisé le stencil Brick Wall et les encres Totally Taupe, Gratite Grey pour l'arrière plan. Le pourtour de l'image est encré avec Yummy Yellow, Creamy Caramel and Wicked Black, et rehaussé de stickles.

BRICK WALL STENCIL

My patterned papers are Spellbound by Fancy pants, and Spookville from We R Memory Keepers.
Yep! Halloween papers!!!  perfect for a 31st birthday.
A brad from Tim Holtz, also from a Halloween collection to decorate the wooden arrow, Black Spooky enamel dots to enhance the sentiment, and add details on the card.

J,ai utilisé les papiers suivants: Spellbound de Fancy pants, et Spookville de We R Memory Keepers!

oui, oui, des papiers d'Halloween! Parfait pour un 31e anniversaire!

Une attache parisienne de Tim Holtz, aussi d'une collection d'Halloween, des Krafty Dots en noir de Spooky Dots, décorent la flèche de bois et ajoutent des détails sur la carte.

I also decorated the inside with the remaining patterned papers.

I used the dog, the magnifying glass and prints from the set

French Sentiment is from Simple à souhait Bonne fête set.

J'ai utilisé les restes de papiers imprimés pour compléter l'intérieur.

La loupe, le chien et les pistes de pas sont du même jeu.

Le sentiment français de Simple à Souhait SS-1802.

Inspirational Wednesday - Cold noses

Hello krafty friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra

krafty inspiration to help you get creative

with your krafty stamps!

I am sharing with you today a fun double scrapbooking page layout

 with a set that I love so much from artist Cheryl Grant  

called COLD NOSES!

Je partage aujourd'hui une page double mettant en vedette Lulu et Luca
du jeu COLD NOSES de l,artiste Chery Grant.

 Lulu and Lucas having fun in the snow, were perfect to complete pictures of my grand-children first skating experience ! I used February sketch from Creative Scrapbookers Magazine Sketch group to start; I stamped my images on bristol velum with Party Peach Ink, perfect for the no line technique,  and colored with pencils. I also played with the sentiments from the set, either by stamping them directly on the images and as little journaling notes on my pages. I used KKS hybrind inks on my chipboard letters to give them a bit of contrast ( colors: Pretty in Pink and Bubbly blue)  Love these inks very much because they dry waterproof, and won't react with the coats of glamour dust I put on my letters. I spread some krafty dots 

 Ces deux petits accompagnent merveilleusement mes petits enfants à leur première expérience de patinage. Pour réaliser mes pages, je me suis inspirée du sketch de février de la page FB de Creative Scrapbookers Magazine Sketch group. J'ai colorié mes images avec des Polychromos sur bristol velin, après les avoir étampées avec l'encre party Peach, parfait pour la technique sans ligne. Je me suis aussi servie des sentiments de ce jeu en guise de journaling sur ma page. Les lettres ont subi tout un traitement! elles étaient au départ bleu foncé et rose fushia! beaucoup de peinture, de brillant et de Glamour dust, un peu d'encre Pretty in Pink et de Bubbly blue dans les bouts pour donner un peu de couleur. j'ai aussi donné le même traitement aux flocons de neige. puis j'ai ajouté des krafty dots donnant un peu de texture.


Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketch

This darling set is perfect for winter cards (birthdays and even Christmas!)

and guess what? COLD NOSES is on SALE for the whole week!

 Cet ensemble d'étampes est parfait pour des fêtes d'hiver, même des cartes de Noël!

et Cold Noses est en vent pour la semaine!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #517 Favorite creature or critter

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge

to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?
We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week I am your hostess
and my challenge for you is to.... 

Use your FAVE KKS Critter or Creature!!

 I cheated a bit... Unicorns are my grand-daughter's favorite creatures so I created her third birthday card  with Becky's adorable UNICORNS & RAINBOWS stamps.

Cette semaine je suis votre hôtesse, et mon défi est d'utiliser votre créature ou votre bestiole favorite parmi toutes celles de Kraftin' Kimmie.
J'ai triché... un peu! puisque les licornes sont les créatures magiques favorites de ma petite fille! Alors j'ai choisi ce jeu UNICORNS & RAINBOWS de Becky pour créer un univers magique pour fêter ses 3 ans.

  I stamped my image with Party peach ink perfect for the no line technique used here, and colored with pencils on bristol velum.  I used the Chubby Clouds stencil, the Bubbly blue ink  (which is on sale now!) and Magical Midnight inks (for the vignetting effect) to make the heavenly scene. I added lots of stickes, Sakura Gelly roll on the hair cause I LOVE glitter! and, of course, could not go without adding Krafty dots ! 
Hope you will get creative and share with us your favorite KKS critter or creature!

Pour réaliser la technique sans ligne, j'ai étampé mon image sur bristol velin avec l'encre Party peach  et colorié mon image avec les Polychromos. Pour concevoir ma scène céleste, j'ai pris le stencil Chubby Clouds, les encres Bubbly Blue ( qui est présentement en vente) et Magical Midnight. Il y a beaucoup de Stickles, les cheveux des licornes sont tracés au crayons brillant Sakura, et bien entendu j'ai ajouté des Krafty Dots 

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries!  The monthly prize is a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!!!  Woohoo! There are TWO ways to enter....you can link up your creation at the bottom of this post AND you can upload your photo to the album in our
