Getting Sketchy with Kraftin Kimmie

Hi everyone!  I’m back from my (almost) two-week vacation and it was fabulous.  Lots of sun, fun and family time.  It’s nice to be home but ugh…the unpacking and laundry.  That part is definately not fun.  I’ve missed everyone, my stamps and markers so I’m ready to hop right back into the swing of things.  I really appreciate all the comments you’ve left while I was gone.   I couldn’t access my blog or email while I was away so all of your kind words were very nice to come home to.  🙂

As you know, Saturdays are Challenge Days with Kraftin Kimmie and this week’s challenge is a sketch, presented by Yours Truly. 

This was my first stab at creating a decent looking rendition of a sketch.   I guess I’ve played around enough that it really wasn’t all that difficult.  (**pats self on back**) 

If you’d like to play along, please be sure to post a link to your creation on the Krafty Blog for your chance to win a free Francesca stamp as I’ve used here.

You’re How Old?

I paired Francesca with Kimmie’s Sassy Sentiments and Cosmo’s new Pixie-Licious paper.  I used a 1″ circle punch with the sentiment and didn’t have a slightly bigger one (nor did my Nesties seem to be just the right size), so I punched a second 1″ circle from the darker cardstock and used that to offset the sentiment.

To add a bit of shine, I used a clear 3-d glaze pen over the cupcake sprinkles, strawberries, barrettes and the button on Francesca’s hat.

You can find more samples using my sketch HERE on the Krafty blog.  And don’t forget to post a link if you play along!

One more thing… September Krafty peeks begin Thursday!  (I better get busy!  Eek!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
