Also, because this is the first of the month, I thought I'd share the new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Stamp Of The Month - Frightful & Delightful! 


This super cute witch stamp will be FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

I coloured up this adorable witch cutie with Copic Markers. I just love her sweet face and cute outfit!! I had a tag I previously created using texture paste and the awesome Pattern Parade Stencil and it was perfect to make a sweet Halloween tag! 


I added a sentiment from a Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker book and found some fun puffy stickers in my stash. I'm thinking this cute witch would be perfect to decorate some Halloween treat bags and can't wait to make more!!

KKS July Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!! 

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our July Release that are NOW available in the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!


and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP!




I'm sharing a pocket page layout I created with photos from our trip to Emma Lake in Saskatchewan last year. Pocket pages are fun because  you can treat each little pocket as a small 'card' and decorate accordingly, adding photos as desired! 


I stamped the BAREFOOT BEACH  image on watercolour paper and used various sprays and watercolour mediums to colour it in. I added some brown Krafty Dots for coconuts and added the sunshine from the MERMAID KISSES stamp set. I love all the accessories in the sets by Neda! I coloured the mermaid and crab (from UNDERWATER PALS) in with Zebra Clickart Markers and popped them up with foam dots for a bit of dimension.


I stamped sentiments from the BAREFOOT BEACH stamp set on and below my photos. I love the font and the lovely messages in this set!


I used the SASSY SEASHELLS stencil with Rich Rust Ink over a 4x6 pocket card and added on an area for journaling. You'll notice this adorable seahorse from UNDERWATER PALS as well! Stamps are easy to use on scrapbook pages!! Just add them like you would stickers or ephemera!


Now let's check everything out as we hop around the Krafty Design Team's blogs today!  Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we take you on a krafty tour!


First up we have a beautiful set of sweet mermaids and accessories
