You Make Me Quiver...Release Day Blog Hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

NOTE:  I have received word over the last couple of days that some people have been having difficulty leaving comments on my bog. My sincere apologies...I will contact Blogger to see if they can help me resolve this problem. In the meantime, some people have had luck by using a different browser...so please feel free to try that out. If not, you can always send me along an email to let me know that you've been hopping along and I will make sure your name is included in draws for any hop prizes. You can find a link to my email under my profile. :)

Good morning and welcome to release day at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! All the fabulous new stamps you've seen over the last several days of previews are now available for purchase! To celebrate, we are having a blog hop today featuring all the new stamps. As always, Kimmie will be giving away some packages of some of the new stamps to a couple of lucky stampers, so make sure to leave comments at every blog on the hop.

Make sure to start the hop over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog to ensure that you visit all the blogs on the hop. If you've been tracking along, you should have arrived here after visiting Peggy Marsh's lovely blog. :)

For my card today, I used one of Annie's new Greek Goddesses. This is Artemis...isn't she fantastic?!  She also reminds me of Katniss from the Hunger Games...I love that series of books, and am really looking forward to the movie! The "You Make Me Quiver" sentiment comes with Artemis. The black border was cut with a Memory Box Die. The papers are from Authentique "Blissful".  Artemis was cut out and matted with Spellbinders Labels 18.


Artemis was stamped on Neenah and coloured with Copics.


After you finish the hop, make sure to stop by the Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Online Store where you will be able to purchase all the new January stamps!! As always, Kimmie will have the Gimmie Kimmie Kits available for a limited time.

It's now my pleasure to send you off to visit with Elaine Hughes who I know has something stunning to share with you! (and don't forget to leave comments along the way for your chance to win some of the new stamps!)

Happy hopping!!

Blessings,

Melanie
