Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps June Skrappy Challenge!

 Good morning krafty friends!

It's June, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

I'm sharing a traveler's notebook layout using some summer pics from 2017. These fun photos from the ice cream shop we visited worked perfectly with the cute stamps from Our Friends and What's The Scoop? and the Crazy Cow Stencil!

I layered some paper on the left page from the Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush Collection and coloured in the ice cream image with Nuvo Alcohol Markers. I stamped the sentiment from What's The Scoop? and added some ephemera and my photo.

I used various colours of Krafty Kolours Inks and the Crazy Cow Stencil to cover the background of the right side of the notebook and layered on my photo and some fun ephemera.

I added the adorable cow from the Our Friends stamp set and stamped a punny sentiment. I finished off the pages with a few puffy stickers! Traveler's notebooks are a great way to use your cardmaking supplies to create mini scrapbook albums! You can add in ephemera from trips and write in little details as a reminder of a trip, your summer or an event you went to! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!  

You have until Monday, July 4th to enter, and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

Check out all the details from the Krafty Team below and be inspired to get skrappy!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #557 - Fall or Winter!

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun 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, our challenge for you is to make a Fall or Winter project! I decided to do a fall spread in my mini traveler's notebook with A Brew-Tiful Day Stamps and the Sweater Weather Stencil.  

I created a gratitude notebook - perfect to document our Thanksgiving and all the things I'm thankful for. Coffee is one of my all time favourite things and I'm very thankful to wake up to the smell of a fresh cup! I'm so lucky my hubby makes me a latte almost every morning - and it's amazing!! I started by stamping a sentiment from the Grateful Pumpkins Stamp Set with Marvelous Mocha Ink (how perfect, hey!) I added the Sweater Weather Stencil and some Totally Taupe Ink and then created a flap with a tiny index card ephemera piece.  I stamped the wonderful coffee images from the A Brew-Tiful Day Stamp set, colouring some in with Copics and layered them onto the page.

Inside the flap I added another sentiment from the Grateful Pumpkins set and some coffee beans from the A Brew-Tiful Day. I added some stickers from the Carta Bella Hello Autumn sticker pad and wrote in my journaling. I thought it would be fun to look back on this page in the future to see how my mornings may or may not have changed! 

'

I also thought I'd share a page I did inspired by Kraftin' Kimmie's FB Live in the Krafty Journaling Fun Group where I used the Grateful Pumpkins Stamp Set along with the Wonky Chevron Stencil and Kraftin' Kimmie Inks. 

I think it's so important to keep a gratitude list. It's so easy to get down with all the day to day hardships, big and little, and I know it definitely helps me to focus on the good things that make life so amazing.

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

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 $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and

you can upload your photo to the album in our 

Krafty Friends FB group.

Also, if you need a little extra inspiration or a jump start to your mojo, we have a new sketch each month!

Feel free to use it any time!

And don't forget about this weekend's Frugal Friday Specials!! 

We've got a selection of gorgeous stamp sets on SALE 40% OFF this weekend while supplies last!!

DIY Travelers Notebook Book Journal with Wild Whisper Designs!

 Hello friends! I'm back today to show you a project I'm sharing on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog. I recently did a Facebook Live Video for Scrap Shotz, showing how to make a DIY travelers notebook with Wild Whisper products and the We R Memory Keepers book binding tool. I decided to create a book journal for my daughter who loves to read, and I know she'll love to fill this with all the books she's reading and keep little notes on each one! It was so easy, I may just have to make one customized for all my family and friends!

Here's a look at the first page I did, and you can see the rest on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog!

Hello friends! I can't believe it is June already!! Wow, time flies... I'm looking forward to lovely warm days - and evenings - so the new challenge on the Emerald Creek Craft Supplies blog 'Summer In The City' was definitely an easy one to get into. I decided to share a layout I created in a Traveler's Notebook using photos from last year's summer adventures. I used the Project Life App to print some photos off my phone using my Canon Selphy printer - seriously love this! and got out the Simple Stories Oh Happy Day Collection along with my Emerald Creek Embossing Powders.

'Getting Fab With Foil' Blog Hop with Scrap 'N Stamp!

Hi friends! I'm really excited to be part of another awesome blog hop with the Scrap 'N Stamp team, and this month we are featuring the 'Foil-tastic Ranger Foils!! Today I'm playing with the Brights Foil Sheets and the Vintage Foil Sheets, but there are lots of other colours too! If you arrived here from Amber's Blog, you're in the right place. If you want to start at the beginning, head over to see Tara at the Scrap 'N Stamp Blog. Wait till you see the amazing projects everyone creates with these lovely Foil Sheets!

I have only played around with foiling a little before now, but I can tell you I am addicted!! I don't have a laminator, and even though I love the look of the foiling techniques using them I honestly wouldn't go out and get one. So, I was really excited to see that you don't need a laminator to use these fabulous Foil Sheets! I played around with a Quickie Glue Pen, some Be Creative Sookwang Tape and Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder to get fun foil looks to create embellishments for this DIY Traveler's Notebook. I'll give you a close up look at each page, but be sure to check out the video where I show you all the beautiful details and how easy it is to add foil to many different surfaces! Here's the cover using some pretty Paige Evans paper, some CTMH stickers, Tim Holtz Botanicals Embellishment Diecuts and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins.

I love the effect you get with the Be Creative Tape and several different colours of foil. And, of course this little Julie Nutting paper doll needed a bit of bling on her pretty outfit!

A journaling card with a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker turns into a flap using some washi tape.

Inside reveals a couple of sweet girls from the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls.

These adorable vintage papers are from October Afternoon, and I love the gold accents I was able to add to the cork arrow!

A cute little lady bug peeks out from this flap.

Seriously, you can add foil to everything!! I stamped on these Memory Box Postage Stamp Diecuts with a Dylusions background stamp, used the Quickie Glue Pen and foil accents and layered them with a pretty diecut flower from the SpiegelMom Scraps shop that I also foiled.

Using the same flower stamp directly on my paper with Versamark Ink and Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder allowed me to add foiled flowers to this page. 

More diecuts accented with different foil colours and a chipboard star add a vintage feel to this page.

A little Kaisercraft tag peeks out of a pocket made from a diecut element in the TH Botanicals pack.

How cute is this Paige Evans sofa and the Julie Nutting doll?!!

On my last page I used a beautiful image by Jane Davenport cut out of some packaging and a few more foiled elements.

I was so happy with how this Traveler's Notebook turned out! You can see how I create the notebook, and how I add the foils to lots of different surfaces using the three adhesives above in my YouTube video HERE. I'd love it if you'd like and subscribe 😍
