Saturdays are the best days of the week...don't you think? Not only is it the first day of the weekend but it's also the day we post Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges!!

This week our hostess is the loverly Michele!! Her challenge is called An Eyelet Here, An Eyelet There...! Do you have a stash full of eyelets in your craft room?? I know I do. I went through a phase where I just had to have them all....every colour, every size! Now they just collect dust in my SU spinner! So this was a fantastic challenge....I love using up stuff from my stash!

So I used Puddles of Love for my design! I stamped Emmylou on Neenah cardstock using Memento ink and coloured her in with my Copic markers. I used my new Nesties to cut her out and emboss her and then I used a sponge and some chalk ink to shade around the frame while I still had the Nestie on it. I used Basic Black for the 6x6 card base and for matting. The gorgeous sparkly dp is some new stuff from the Lucy Bird line by Imaginisce. I used some large grommet sized eyelets in the four corners of the main layer and I love the way it looks! I stamped the sentiment, that comes with the image and punched it out. Finally, I added some layers of Prima flowers with a sparkly black brad!



I hope you can play along with this great challenge and use up some of your eyelets! This challenge is going to be open for two weeks, so I'm sure you can find the time to join us!

Now hop on over to the KKS Challenge Blog and check out the gorgeous creations from all the Krafty Girls!

Well, I am off for a week.....yes, we are taking a family vacation and my plan is to lay in the sun and do nothing but relax! Maybe we'll hit a few stores and do some shoppin' but other than that, it's going to be stress free! At least that is my hope.....I'll let you know when I get back how it worked out! Ciao!!
