Happy Winter

The November release stamps are now officially available at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, including four new images from the Crissy's Cuties line, four new images from the Moonlight Whispers line, and a new set of sentiments, called Kimmie's Holiday Sentiments (which includes 44 sentiments!).  To celebrate the new release, we are having a fun blog hop with lots of beautiful creations using the new stamps.  And, as if all that inspiration isn't enough, everyone is giving away a little blog candy, too!  Be sure to leave a comment on each blog stop and check the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog on Monday to see if you're one of lucky winners.



I had to use this adorable Antoinette image on one of my sneak peek cards.  Isn't she adorable?!  She's so happy and fun!  I paired her with some My Mind's Eye Be Merry patterned papers and some SU Taken with Teal cardstock.  The buttons are snowflake buttons stacked on spring moss buttons.  I love how they look!


I colored Antoinette with copic markers.  Then, I added some polar white flower soft for some snow along the edge of my "frozen pond," which I covered with dimensional glaze so it resembles real ice.

Your next stop in the blog hop is the amazing Kimmie Reid herself.  Happy hopping and don't forget to leave a comment to win a mystery package of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  BLOG CANDY is now closed.  Look for the winner to be posted in the morning. *wink*
