Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March Scrappy Challenge (Calendar)

Welcome to our March Scrappy Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

These challenges are a lot of fun and give you a chance to use your stamps in different ways. Your creations can be ANYTHING you would like to create with KKS, anything that is BUT a card! You still have a lot of room for creativity including, calendars, planner pages, bookmarks, pocket and traditional scrapbooking pages and other altered paper craft items. For the Scrappy challenges you MUST use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp. You have all month to play along, so grab some stamps and let's get KRAFTY!

Our theme for March is: ANYTHING GOES

I have a personal planner, however back in December, I created a family calendar page using the Perfect Planner stamp set and really enjoyed how it turned out. I missed getting a page done in February and March, however I am getting ahead of the game and finished both an April and May calendar.

Calendars and planners are fun ways to use any number of your stamps. On this page I was able to use:

• Perfect Planner
• Hello Spring
• You Are My Sunshine
• One Cup at a Time
• Let's Celebrate
• Totally Tubular (sentiment)
• I {Heart Coffee} (sentiment)
• Itty Bitty Friends (retired)
• Fin-Tactic Friends - Sea Horses, Bubbles, Sentiment (retired)

I hope you play along with this month's SCRAPPY challenge! You can head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog to see more inspiration from the other Krafty Girls, as well as full details about this challenge.

Create any project (other than a card) featuring a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps image. You have one month to play along and you can enter as many times as you like. Once the challenge reaches 5 entries, a random winner will be drawn.

Have a fabulous and Krafty day!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February Preview Day One: Hello Spring

Hello Krafty Friends and welcome as we start our first day of previews for the February release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This month we have a great collection of images that will chase away the winter weather and get you ready for Spring!

Our first preview is a darling set from designer Becky Pearce called HELLO SPRING!

This set really had me thinking about Easter, so I created a couple of Easter treat bags, decorated with the cute bunny. The paper is from Doodlebug called Hello Sunshine.

The bags are really easy to make. One bag can be made from a single 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I  will put together a quick tutorial for a future post.

This set comes with a number of little accessory stamps that you can use with the images. I masked my bunny for both images and added the carrot and flag image.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Hello Spring (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)
Dies: MFT scalloped circle, YNS Stitched Circle
Paper: Doodlebug Hello Sunshine
Other: Doodlebug Twine, EK success scalloped border punch.

Now it's time for you to hop along and check out all of the fabulous projects from the Krafty Girls. Leave a comment on each of the blogs as you hop along. There will be one lucky winner selected from all of the comments this week to WIN some Krafty $ to spend in the KKS store.
