Kimmie's Birthday Challenges...Day FIVE!!

Edited to Add: The random winner of this challenge is.....Kelly Schelske!!! Congrats Kelly and be sure to email me with your info!!

We have reached the FIFTH day of my Birthday Challenges and I hope you are having as much fun as I am!!! Heehee!! I have had my 38th birthday this week, my blog turned 2 years old yesterday AND I reached 300,000 visitors this week too!! Can you believe THAT?? Wow! Last year during my blogaversary, I hit 100,000 so this year my readership has doubled!! That's truly amazing and I really can't fathom it! Thank YOU so much for visiting me and encouraging me in my stamping adventures!!! On to today's challenge!!!

Challenge #5 should be a fairly easy one for most of you this time of year. I mean we all use patterned paper, right??? And it's the time of year to use hearts, right?? So please use both on your project today!!

Our sponsor today is the lovely and generous Sheila from Scrappin' Great Deals!!! The random winner will receive a $15 Gift Certificate to SGD! You can use it in the store in person or online and she ships worldwide!! How about that??!!

My card today features The Love Bandit from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Isn't he just a hoot?? I used some grey SU cardstock for the base and the rest is Love Letters 6x6 patterned paper which I got at SGD. Love the combination of colours in it and half the pad is die cut into 6x6 shapes, like the base dp on my card. The sketch I used is from this week's A Spoonful of Sugar challenge....love it.

I used my Karen Foster Snap Stamps to make the sentiment and punched it out with my round tab punch. I used Queen and Co. heart felt across the bottom and some pink heart brads from Hot Off the Press. I pop dotted the sentiment, the main layer and the Bandit himself. Not that I need to tell you by now, but I coloured him in using my Copic markers!!



Be sure to leave your comment on this post with a link back to your design. And if you upload to an online forum like Splitcoast, be sure to use the keyword KKBC5, so that we can all check them out!!

You are free to use ANY stamps, papers, embellishments etc., just follow along with the challenge requirements. In order to be included in the random draws, your designs can be combined with other challenges, but NOT my challenges. So you can't make a card using Monday and Tuesday's challenges and have them count for both draws. Get it?! Good.

The deadline for this challenge is Thursday, February 12th at 8pm EST to be entered in the draw!

Also, don't forget that the more challenges you join in on this week, the better your chances are to win the Grand Prize at the end!!! So here is the link to Challenge #1, Challenge #2 , Challenge #3 and Challenge #4!!

Okay, I'm off to work this afternoon and evening. Hope you have a great Friday!!!
