Patriotic Colours....a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge!

Good morning Krafty friends!! We've got another great challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps this week, but first let's talk about some exciting news:

Ok, back to the challenge!! Each week we host a challenge with a specific theme. The Krafty Girls and Krafty guests will provide you with some inspiration...then we want you to get out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get inky! You can create any project for submission as long as you use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and follow the theme...card, scrapbook layout, tag or whatever you feel like creating! This week's challenge is open until July 8th at 11:55 pm EST. Share your creation for a chance to win a $20 KKS gift card for the online shop...one winner is selected each month. 

In addition to weekly challenges and Wonderful Wednesday (WW) posts, we provide you with a fantastic monthly sketch.  If you use the sketch in ANY CHALLENGE OR WW submission for that month, you will get an extra chance to win a store gift card! 

This week's theme is SHOW YOUR PATRIOTIC COLOURS. We just celebrated Canada Day yesterday, so I used a red and white theme on my card.  I went through my KKS stash and pulled out an old stamp to play with...remember KRISTA?? I've been watching Wimbledon this week, so that may have influenced my stamp choice. ;)  Just a reminder...if you love this stamp, it is only available in grey rubber.  You all know what that means right?? Once she's gone, she's gone forever! Since KKS has made the transition to fabulous clear stamps, the old rubber stamps will not be restocked. So if you would like to add Krista to your collection, act fast!! I stamped her in Memento Desert Sand and coloured her with copics. She comes with this fun sentiment. I went will a very C&S layout...just some red and black cardstock. 

Hope you join in the fun this week! 

Thanks for visiting...blessings!!
