I haven't had a chance to do much stampin' lately. Summertime is so busy with lots to do outside and places to go....and of course work always gets in the way. So if I skip a day of blogging here and there throughout the summer, I'm not gonna stress about it. And I hope you'll keep checking back in anyway, here at Kraftin' Kimmie's Korner.

This card was made this weekend while my parents were visiting. Mom and I had a little (and I do mean little) bit of time to spend in my crafting sanctuary. It's so rare that we get to do that but I so enjoy it.

I stamped the Heidi and Madison image, which is from the new release from High Hopes, on Neenah Solar white smooth cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The patterned papers that I used are from Cosmo Cricket...the Girl Friday collection, I believe. I used Kraft cardstock for the 6x6 base and Blue Bayou for the large layer, then Pumpkin Pie for matting the main image. I sponged Antique Linen ink on everything and then used my open scissors on all the edges to distress them. I stamped the sentiment on green, pop dotted everything, added buttons and hemp twine and finished it off by adding a row of piercing at the top and bottom. The Copic markers I used to colour them are: E00, R20, E41, E43, E44, R83, R37, YR14, BG18 and YG95.



Well, today is the release of the newest Harry Potter movie and Emileigh and I are stoked!! It's always our tradition to see the movie on opening day. We buy tickets ahead of time, go early and stand in line so that we get good seats (take that to read that we get seats in the very back row, because there's nothing worse than having some loser kicking the back of your seat through a 2 1/2 hour show!) and enjoy the movie we've been waiting yeeeeears for!! They say it's the best one yet....I let ya know tomorrow!!

Have a stampin' good Wednesday!!!
