C4C52 Kraftin' Kimmie's Saturday Challenge, An Announcement AND some Candy!

It's Saturday which means it is challenge time with the Crazies!!!!! and the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge too~! This week Frances is back with another fun challenge.

But before we get onto the challenges, I have a little announcement to make. This is my last challenge with the crazies. This is sad for me because Cindy, Frances and I founded this challenge blog about a year ago. It has been AMAZING to work together and watch the blog grow successfully with a HUGE following. If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I'm paring down some of my commitments to make more time for teaching............so I will totally miss Frances, Cindy and the rest of the Crazies.....it's been an awesome year and I hope to play along occasionally! I'll still be here designing, but on a smaller scale.


Now onto this week's Crazy challenge. Lattice .... this week we are going to include lattice in some form on our cards. Here are a few ideas to get you started ... lattice using your circuit machine, dies, embossed lattice using scor-pal; Lattice Punches; Designer paper that has lattice pattern, lattice background stamps or image stamps that include lattice on them; etc.

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C52. Don't forget to go back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Jeanne is our Hostess extraordinaire for the Kimmie Saturday Challenge to get all the details on how to link your creations up to the challenge, click HERE . The challenge is to use white and pearls! I made my card in Ivory, with a white card base.........I added very little colour to my image, shading the dress with Sand White. Pretty Princess Petunia doesn't look to shabby, if I don't say so myself!

I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch to add the Lattice border to the Cuttlebugged (Brocade Panel) and the half pearls are from Stampin' Up!

And now, if you're still reading..............the Candy! I was excited to see my followers surpass 300 today! I wanted to show some appreciation for that and have a Stampin' Up! Scallop Trim Border Punch up for grabs to one reader who comments on this post. I'll leave the post open until next Friday at Midnight and announce the winner with next Saturday's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. The Catch??? You must be a follower to win! I'll sweeten the pot with some suprises with each additional 5 followers that add on this week (as of this post, I'm at 301) if you want to spread the word, that would be great, but it's not a requirement to win. I'll add pictures through the week when I add the prizes~!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

C4C42 and Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge 34

Before we get onto today's C4C challenge we have a few announcements to make regarding changes in our Design Team.

First up Lori Boyd is super busy with all that she has been doing recently, and with summer now here she wants to spend lots of time with her "5 little reasons". Thanks Lori for all your inspiration over the past 12 months, it's been lots of fun having you on the team!

We are also excited to introduce to you a new member to our Design Team, I am sure many of you will know her already because her creations are amazing!!!!!!!! Please welcome Maria Bell of Stampin Inspirations blog!

Mercy is here again to bring you another fun and fabulous challenge!

This week she wants to see you create a card/project using PAPER FLOWERS! These can be paper flowers that you have purchased from the craft store, or flowers that you have punched and created yourself....if you are stuck, you can head to the C4C blog to get a link to Mercy's Tutorial.................and now here is where I got stuck............. I guess I have reading problems because I thought I was to use a home made flower on my card.........so as you can see, mine is not from paper, but crocheted..........and hand made by one of my very good friends Andreanne. Now I've asked her to teach me how so that I can make my own........but that is a very eager goal as I have tried to crochet several times to no avail! Anyway........... paper flower ladies..........paper flower! lol

If you would like to play along with us at C4C , all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C42. Don't forget to go back to C4C and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.





And now for the Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Saturday Challenge! Krafty Jeanne has asked us to use a pretty summer colour combination on our cards.............Yellow, Blue and Tan. I was very lean with the Tan as you can see............lol...........guess it just wasn't my week, but go my mojo on with the Blue and Yellow!!! For my card I used the Beautiful Marina from the Summer Mermaid Kit that's now available and on special over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps
