Hello friends and happy Saturday. Is everyone recovered from all the busyness of the holidays? Everything is back to normal here but I can tell you one thing ..... I sure do miss my boys now that they have went back to work and school :(

Are you ready for a FUN challenge with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps? Our hostess for today’s challenge is the precious Sharon and her challenge is called TIME TO SHAPE UP. Use at least three different shapes on your card (card shape can count as one). Please join us for this fun challenge and use any Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp you'd like!! Then be sure to share your card with us by clicking on the little blue frog link at the bottom of today's post on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog to add your card for your chance to WIN!! Winner will receive the image, HUGGING BEARS (from the Lots of Love 2 set), that Sharon is using on her card.

For my card today I used AURORA. This is my first time using her and she was lots of fun to color. I love coloring a mermaid's tail. Here is my card.

Now make sure and head over to all the Krafty Girls blogs to see what they have made. We have 6 new Krafty girls so please go make them feel welcome.

Hello to Some New KRAFTY GIRLS!!

2012-01-03T09:05:00.001-05:00

Hello and how is everyone on this wonderful and beautiful Tuesday morning? I have taken a much needed break from my blog for a couple of weeks during the Holidays and feel very refreshed. The son and the hubby were both off for over two weeks and we had the best time doing basically nothing. We did plays lots of games including Monopoly and Uno Attack. Very competitive in the Varnell household but lots of fun!!!

I wanted to stop in and help announce 6 new Krafty girls that are starting this month with KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS. Please say a big hello to the following amazingly talented ladies. We are so happy to have these ladies join us!!!

Please head on over to their blogs and give them a big HOWDY!!!

That's it for today. Thanks for checking in and I'll see you back here on Thursday with a card for Jen's Deconstructed Sketch Challenge.

Hugs,
