Krafty Previews, Day 3 and a Challenge

Hello.  This is the last day of previews of Kraftin Kimmie‘s November release, but it’s also Saturday and that means Challenge Day!  This week Krista has challenged us to use funky fibers on our cards–fun ribbons, yarns, cord, twine etc.  In all honesty, I did find some funky fibers in my stash.  I don’t know WHY I have them.  (Jody must have sent them to me.  Ha!)  I just couldn’t bring myself to use them.  I really don’t know what to do with funky fibers.  I think linen thread is about as funky as I get.  (I know. Boring.)

Knit Happens

This is Natalie the Knitter.  According to my daughter, she is knitting her own hair.  Apparently I didn’t give the yarn color much thought.  I just wanted it to match the paper.  I tried to add a bit of “blonde” to Natalie’s hair but I don’t think there’s enough of a difference.  So in addition to my not-so-funky fibers, I have a girl who’s knitting her own funky fibers–her hair.  Lol.   **sigh**

Once my image was colored, I stitched and tied the sentiment pieces and added tiny brads to the ends of the knitting needles.

You can see more November previews and samples using funky fibers HERE on the Krafty Blog.  And as always, if you’d like to play along, please post a link to your creation on the Krafty Blog for your chance to win a free Mona the Seamstress image from the new release!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow (or very late tonight) with the November Krafty Release Hop!  (I saved my favorite image and sample for last!)  🙂  Have a great day!
