KLSNS Challenge #25 - Organic

This weeks challenge over on KLSNS is hosted by me. I hope you will all find it interesting. I decided to do an Organic challenge. Being it is close to Earth Day I thought what better way to celebrate than to get people outdoors or at least thinking about things in the outdoors. I personally started my cards by going on a walk, picking things up in the yard, and then creating them back to my craft room. I ended up throwing half of it back into nature but there were a few things that seemed to be interesting. I used some seeds from marigolds that I planted last year. and some twigs for these two cards.
Now, come on over to KLSNS and see what you can come up with. I would love to see your ideas.

As in the past challenge deadline is on Friday, April 16, at Midnight. We would love to have you join in.

Materials:
Card 1 Card 2
Stamps: Lucy and Kitten Shy Kiki
Paper: SU-black, gray DP-SU SU-Certainly Celery, Tempting Terquios
Embellishments: twigs, dew drops Seeds, eyelet

KLSNS Challenge #21

Well, another week, another challenge. This one from KLSNS is a sketch challenge from me great DT mate, Jacilynn. I changed it up just a bit to fit a smaller card but other then that I think I stayed with the basics. This is one of my new stamps that is from KL Stampin' N' Scrappin'. I have noticed others using her and think she is great so I had to have her myself. I chose some different combinations of colors here but I was trying to get the feel of the Japanese paper I used. I made this card for my friends Birthday on Sunday and she loves the Oriental look.

Remember to come on over to KLSNS this week and give this sketch a try. If you have never done a sketch or challenge....try one they are fun and addicting. You will have until Friday, March, 19th to enter and if you are "ONE OF THE CHOSEN ONES", you will get a great blinkie to put on you blog.

KLSNS Challenge #20 Buttons

This weeks Challenge at KLSNS is BUTTONS. We are asked to use buttons on our cards. I chose this cute image from CC Design that is available at the KL Stampin' N' Scrappin' store. I also used this glass glitter that Kelly has in the store also. I love the great way it shines but I would color the balloon beforehand next time. I think it would work a bit better. I am amazed at how this stuff looks and works.

KLSNS Challenge #18 - Go Green!

Well, it is time for another great Challenge over at KLSNS. This week is a "Go Green" recycle theme. Use what you have. In this challenge I used a few scrap papers to cut out Hearts and to stamp my image on. This image is so cute, it is from KL stores and is a C.C. Design, Shy Kiki. I also wanted to use the newspaper. I have a whole bag ready to put out to recycle so I swiped a couple of pages. I stared with a strip and tried to fold and tar it but I didn't like the effect, I may have to try that again sometime, but I ended up seeing the answers to the suduko and crossword puzzles and thought that would be fun. I also used hearts that I had cut out to give to someone and forgot and buttons off an old shirt.

I hope you come over to KLSNS this week and join in on the Challenge. You will have until Friday, February, 26 at midnight to enter. I am looking forward to seeing what you all come up with for recycled materials.

Materials:
Stamps: Shy Kiki, Micheal's Love
Papers: SU Black, Pretty in Pink
Embellishments: Buttons
Copics: E00, Y21, YR23, RV10, RV34, N3, N5, N7


Thanks,

KLSNS Challenge #16 Paper Tole Technique

Hi everyone, It is time for the next KLSNS Challenge. This week the Challenge is Paper Tole Technique. If you are confused, you are not alone. I was not quite sure what that was either. Here is the discription that I got: A duplicate of an image is stamped on a different paper, colored and carefully cut out. This duplicate is then mounted on top of the original with foam mounts, causing it to be raised (3D) and enhancing the natural shape. This is not simply paper piecing... it's popping parts of the image up higher.

Come and join us this week. I would love to see what you come up with. You will have till 2/13/10 at midnight to enter.

NEXT WEEK I WILL BE HOSTING THE CHALLENGE! MAKE SURE TO COME BACK AND JOIN IN.

Simple enough. I think. I have done similar techniques and not known what it was called.
This week I used my new stamp Coffee Kiki. You can purchase it over at KL Store. I had many options for color but I am into the pink and red kick being we are coming close to Valentine's day and the color is just in my head. I hope you like it



Materials:
Stamps: Coffee Kiki, Kraftin' Kimmie
Paper: SU- Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Basic Gray
Embellishments: Glitter pearls, Heart (KL Stores Buttons)
Copics: E00, Rv34, YG15, N1, E25, E47
