Kenny K Krafty Girlz Challenge #50


This week's theme is CHECKS ... use checks in some form on your card! The other bonus is to use a Kenny K stamp and be in the winning for a $15 gift certificate from Michelle's scrapbooking store. There are also 5 digital Kenny K stamps up for grabs!

Now, if you're feeling a bit poor (like my good self), why not rifle through your scraps and use up some of those leftovers before cutting into a new piece or card or paper!

Here are my ingredients:
Kenny K stamp - Club Kid
Greeting stamp - Darkroom door 'All Occassions'
Background motif stamp - Kaisercraft
Inks - Stampin' Up
Pattern Paper - K & Co
Ribbon - Autumn Leaves
Gem - Kaisercraft
Copic markers - Hair E13, E15, E17, E19, Face E50, E51, E53, YR02, Belt C9, 100, Eyes YG63, YG67, B0000, B00, Pants YG63, G94, G99, Shirt/shoes Y21, Y23, Y26, E13, Tie/jacket/shoes YR00, YR02, YR04, YR07, clear spica, sand spica

So, get on over to the Kenny K shop, nab yourself this month's freebie and pick up a fave or two while you're there. Then get on over to the Kenny K's Krafty Girlz blog and enjoy the rest of the amazing cards the DT has for you!

Also, this is my final post as a Kenny K Krafty Girl. Sadly I have had to step down from the DT as I have a whole bunch of 'stuff' going on at home that take up a lot of my time. Doesn't leave me much time for colouring I'm afraid :( I have really enjoyed being KKKG, and a great big thanks goes out to all the girls on the DT who have made me feel so welcome :)

I'm also entering this card in the Mad 4 Markers challenge - brown hair.

Kenny K Krafty Girlz Challenge #48



I LOVE sketches ... and card sketches are no exception! For those times when you just want someone else to tell you how to throw it all together quickly, or desire a challenge of interpreting a sketch in your own unique way ... they're gold! This week's Kenny K's Krafty Girlz challenge is no exception to that rule! The lovely Donna presented the DT with this sketch, and I found this card incredibly quick to put together. PLUS, this is one of the gorgeous new release stamps

Our challenge to you ... use a Kenny K stamp (digi or rubber) and see what you make of Donna's sketch! Why? Because there are lovely prizes up for grabs, and you gotta be in in to win it!
There are 2 digital kids from Bearly Mine Designs, and 5 digi images of your choice from the Kenny K shop! Why wouldn't you want all that digi goodness????

So ... first things first ... get over to the KKKG blog and check out the rest of the DT's amazing interpretations of this sketch. Next, grab yourself a Kenny K stamp from the shop (if you haven't already) and get going!

Lastly ... here's my list of ingredients:
Stamp - Kenny K's 'Wedding Garter'
