Seriously?? It's Saturday already???? Challenge Time!

I can't believe this week went by so quickly!!  Honestly, I think I skipped the middle of the week entirely!!  *sigh*  Oh well, one good thing about the weekend.....it's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge time!!!  yaaay!


This week our hostess is the PRECIOUS PAM!!  *giggle*  She's gonna kill me when she sees that!  She calls me precious all the time and so I call her silly names back!  But really I love the sweet things she calls me!!  Warms my heart!!  Anyway....on to the challenge!!  Pam has designed this gorgeous sketch to inspire us!!  And it really inspired me!!

I absolutely adore sketches because it takes all the guesswork out of the design of the card, which is often the hardest part!  I don't think I've ever had a card whip up so quickly!  To be honest, and don't spread this around because I'm usually SO ultra organized, but I didn't start my card until about 7pm last night!!  Eeek!  Like I said, my week just disappeared somewhere along the line and I ran out of time!  But with this sketch, I had this card done in an HOUR!!  For me, that has got to be some kind of record!!!

The image I used is one of the three stamps that comes in the O Holy Night Nativity Set by Cheryl Alger!  I LOVE IT!!  The papers I used are from the Mitten Weather Cosmo Cricket line....love the soft colours!  I coloured up the shepherd and his flock with my Copic markers and drew in some grass.  The card is a 5.25 ins kraft base and I used Wild Wasabi for matting.  

To complete this design I stamped one of the phrases from our Nativity Sentiments set and then added a trio of buttons!  These two sets of stamps are put together in a Gimme Kimmies Kit right now and at a discount, but only for a limited time!  All our September Gimme Kimmies Kits are now available, so hop on over to the Shop and pick 'em up!! 

I will also be entering this card in the Touch Twin Markers Challenge!!
