Welcome to a fantastic joint blog hop featuring Kraftin’Kimmie Stamps and the Art du Scrapbooking store in Quebec! Grab a cup of coffee and sit back to enjoy all the gorgeous creations using the January release of new stamps from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps! If you’d like to start the hop from the beginning, head over to the KKS challenge blog and be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky random stampers will WIN some prizes!! All the new images are now available at the Art du Scrapbooking store online and in person or from the KKS online shop, where you will find ALL our stamps! Get ready....get set.....HOP!!

You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented NICOLE's blog.

For my card today I used the NEW Goddess Aphrodite. She was absolutely perfect for the paper and embellishments (because of the love theme) that I have from the Art du Scrapbooking store. The paper has a sweet sentiment on it so I did not have to stamp one on my card. And the flowers are adorable. How about that dot bling at the bottom? You need embellishments .... the Art du Scrapbooking store has it. Here is my card.

You're next stop on the hop is the very talented CAROLE.

I hope you have a wonderful time hopping along with us today. Thanks for stopping by and have a splendid one.

For my card today I used the newly released WEDNESDAY image from the Kraftin' Kimmie store. She was not originally drawn to be a Christmas image but that is what I am using her for today. She is so precious playing with her dolls. The paper I used on my card today is sold at One Crazy Stamper and it's My Minds Eye 12 Days of Christmas. I have used the heck out of this paper this holiday season. It's my absolute fav this year. I used some bling that is also sold at One Crazy Stamper that is made by My Minds Eye to go with the paper I used. Wait until you see it. I took a pic of it before I tore into it so you could see what all came with it. It's amazing ..... and adorable. I LOVE BLING!!! Here is my card and a pic of that awesome bling.

Was I right about that bling, or what? Love the pearl bling Christmas trees.

You're next stop on the Hop is MICHELLE from the One Crazy Stamper DT.

Thanks for joining us today and I hope you have fun along your journey.

Hugs,

ALL THAT SCRAPS "Back from the Past"

2011-11-29T10:00:00.000-05:00

Hello friends and happy Tuesday. Well, it has finally turned cold here in the south. It's only getting up to 40 here today and they are talking about SNOW tomorrow ...... wait, what? It never snows here in the South before Christmas and even after Christmas it's few and far between. Except for last year, that is. We had a beautiful white Christmas here last year and it had been around 35 years since we had a white Christmas. Is it too much to ask for 2 in a row? Would love to see it again.

Alrighty, are you ready for our BACK FROM THE PAST themed post today from ALL THAT SCRAPS? All of the DT are using winter images that are at least a year old. Yay!!!! Love dragging out my older stamps that haven't seen love in a while. I used C.C. Designs Sugarplum Teddy Emma for my main image. I used AmyR's Snowman Sentiment set for the sentiment on the outside of the card and AmyR's Handy Christmas Greetings Sentiment set for the inside of the card. I also used the Mistletoe die. Here is my card with a funky Christmas color theme.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you head over to the ATS blog to check out what the rest of the DT has done today. Have a great day friends.

Hugs,
